It sounds like the UK will give Ukraine Storm Shadow cruise missiles. It looks like there are two versions, one version has a range of 350 miles, while the export version has a range of 155 miles. The UK has as many as 1000 of these, and France also has stocks of them, but given they cost over a million each, I'd assume supplies will be limited.
Goose, do you have any thoughts on these, will they make a big difference? I'd assume there's a way to put these on Ukrainian airframes, otherwise there would be no point. I doubt these will be used to take out the Kerch bridge, but they could come in handy taking out known high value targets out of HIMARS range, especially in the lead up to the counter offensive, if they arrive on time.
