Storm Shadow changes situation dramatically: Russians will have to make a lot of defense efforts – British expert Grant

He told about this on Espreso TV.

"It is interesting that the UK has given Storm Shadow, it's the first long-range weapon, and it's a vital long range weapon because it gives the chance for the Defense Forces to strike at some areas, not yet the Kerch bridge but other areas that have been out of range. We know that the Russian military have pulled their headquarters and logistics back so that they couldn't be hit by HIMARS. But now this changes that. And it will mean they have a lot of work to do to defend that they didn't have before. I think that the Storm Shadow will defeat their air defense in most cases," the military expert said.

Glen Grant added that while Russian frontline support has increased significantly, the command is now within Ukraine’s reach .

• On May 11, the British Ministry of Defense confirmed the supply of long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine.

• On May 16, CNN reported, citing anonymous sources, that Ukraine had already begun using long-range missiles.

• On May 24, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov confirmed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are already using the long-range Storm Shadow missiles provided by the UK.
