They forgot to mention the main point why the increased range vis-a-vis HIMARS is so important: Russians have by now adopted to HIMARS and moved their logistics centers and command post just outside HIIMARS range (to about 120km). The storm shadow will again enable Ukrainians to hit those strategic targets and massively disrupt logistics and command capability. This will be a big boon for the upcoming counter offensive.

Storm Shadow is a great weapon since russian logistics IS mainly rail based to get the big amounts of ammunition into Ukraine. So it will be relativly easy to find out where those big hubs are and destroy them, that will force Russia to bring their big train logistics hubs even farther away from the line. That will make it very hard for Russian to provide supplys effectivly.

Thank you United kingdom for stepping up to support Ukraine.

Clearly, the UK has also been training the crews up to proficiency - they wouldn't just "hand me down" this tech w/o training...

[borisreljanovic]

It"s a game changer. Well done UK. Still waiting for the US to supply the ATACMS .

It’s so strange hearing about counter offensives before they happen ..can you imagine this during ww2

[johnroche]

It as simple as this. Ukraine should have been given everything from a bullet to a Leopard tank the minute a Russian soldier set one foot on sacred Ukranian soil last year.

I don't understand why Putin always warned the UK... b'coz in the first place Also the UK can destroy Russia.. As well as in underwater attack.. BTW We need peace not war Greetings From: The Philippines 😁😊❤❤

[dennislindqvist]
