"Can not fire. Target is within weapon minumum range"

I tried from 20 meters up to 500 meters. Over 500 meters the message change to: "Unable to connect to firing unit with mandatory link"

Edit: removed a bunch of bad advice that won't work - sorry for the mistake!

But so, nobody has the solution?
