How likely are they to reverse engineer these? Let alone find parts?

I don't know about Storm Shadow, but I don't know how much they'd gain by reverse-engineering ATACMS. Russia's perfectly capable of building short-range ballistic missiles. I don't know whether they have any cluster ballistic missiles, but I don't imagine that there's anything that interesting there.

It's also an older weapon, and the US is replacing it with the PrSM.
