A CNN report says the UK has already delivered Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
There are two variants of this missile. One has a range of 560 km and the other has a range of about 250 km. The shorter-range version is the one Ukraine likely has.
x UK has supplied Ukraine with multiple Storm Shadow cruise missiles, multiple senior Western officials told CNN
With the range of 250 km, the missiles would give Ukraine a new long-range strike capability.

The shorter-range version brings Sevastopol and the Kerch bridge into range if it can be stretched to 300 kilometers.
x Repost. A 250 (yellow) to 300 (blue) km radius applied from Odesa, Kherson, Orikhiv and Kramatorsk gives a rough indication of the reach of Storm Shadow missiles (export version), based on current frontlines. All sovereign Ukrainian territory can be reached with 300km range. pic.twitter.com/YtTjMnAQKV — NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@NOELreports) May 11, 2023
