Reading up on the way storm shadow seems likely to be used seems to be far more important than the Kremlin admits.

Whilst not the faster missile, it still is very fast. But speed itself creates a number of problems for a missile. Accuracy, steering, thermal casing problems etc etc.

Storm shadow is able to hug the landscape better, it also has a very small radar shadow.

It seems the plan is to use them behind decoy missiles that are packed with both jamming electronics and sending out false signals mimicking much more sophisticated and potent missiles to draw the fire.

Now every logistics hub, ammo dump in occupied Ukraine is a target.

Add to that the key differences so far in the Russians failure to be able to hit moving targets and the Ukraine’s tactic of sweeping pincer movements creating movement. It is going to be interesting how the Russians will cope.
