I am sure they have done analysis. Every Russian Mi-8 has either 2 or 4 external fuel tanks. so assumption is there speed is slower.
just look at what Ukraine medic is facing due enhance capability of drones. The point is this highly distributed conflict. Even mis firing of Air defense missiles. when system is overloaded can create alot of damage. The reliability of missiles and launcher 24/7 becomes very important. or Russia own cruise missiles can hit civilians as they are normally fired from several hundreds km.
Ukraine is not even 10% of Russia airpower because this glide bombs are limited to Su-34 sorties and with not full load out. Shoigu said Su-34 is doing 6 sorties per day on average and that was nearly two years ago. Now Su-34 fleet is way larger and range of bombs 130 to 400km. The greater the range the less time for sortie. now take this template against peer competitor with the intensity of missile launches, air defense and glide bombs much higher and same on receiving end. This need much larger and more capable helicopter fleet.
I'm sure they did the analysis, and that analysis could work out to be wrong.
IMO the most likely use of this is that the flying hospital is flown to the injured person, allowing doctors and surgeons operate as soon as possible. Then, once the person is stabilized or the surgery is over, that person is flown to a longer-term care facility.
It really does sound like utter madness to actually fly to the supposedly critical person, take the time to strap him in, sedate him, and operate on him while flying.
It does not mean flying only. they park in some locations where other choppers collect inured people and bring to them.
The point is medical equipment has become advanced, netcentric. remotely guided and much quick procedures.
Larger helicopters much better for long range and patient comfort.
A new Russian VTOL interceptor drone was unveiled in Moscow. The drone was developed with the support of the People's Front's Kulibin Club, an organization dedicated to the selection, testing, and serial production support of the best Russian engineering projects. The drone's name has not yet been announced, but the first batches of hundreds of drones have already been produced for testing, and serial production is being prepared.
The drone does not compete with large air defense systems, but rather complements them. Its role is to quickly intercept small and medium-sized targets as they approach, once they have entered the drone's patrol zone. The interceptor drone is equipped with a warhead; it automatically flies along preset target data at a range of 10-15 kilometers. An onboard computer then assists it in target acquisition, pursuit, and destruction. The drone is equipped with entirely Russian-made software.

Russia is displaying system of airspace control for drones. They havent mentioned range but called it Electronic Eye. the description.
The ASCS system is not just a radar; it is an intelligent platform for managing airspace in the age of drones. We designed it to be capable of distinguishing between civilian aircraft and unauthorized drones, and sending immediate alerts to the relevant authorities. This system is a direct technological response to the challenges we have faced in operational areas, as well as in protecting critical facilities within Russia.
There is also specification of Su-57E. 2600km/hr top speed, 10,000 Kg of payload, 4300km range on internal fuel. Su-34M with 177 engine should exceed this figure.
They have brought large size glide bombs to the event. in addition there is extended range modernized Kh-59MKM. this largest participation of Russia in this event.

new info. the version of 177 for 5G aircraft is even more fuel efficient. This correspond to about 5000km range on internal fuel for Su-57M from previous link
The Flat Nozzle version is 3,000km/hour.
Two years ago Test Pilot mentioned Su-57 long range missiles and range are superior to MIG-31.
Test Pilot mentioned 2500km/hr with air to air weopons. 2 seater Su-57 and Su-75 coming.

The test flights are done are with 2 ton payload of 4 missiles. seems Su-57 internal payload is 4 tons. medical fitness is two time mentioned regarding air show demo.
