I am assuming the goal is Moscow, because theres what Zelensky has been targeting. Or did younforget the surpise drone attacks? Zelensky is being told to try and behead the snake.
And it wouldn't be the first time stormshadow has been approved, and it's not a very impressive system.
Go back and look at how many "wonder weapons were promised to turn the tide, and failed. HIMARS, Abrams, MLRS, depleted uranium rounds, and f16s.
The problem the West faces is that in it's effort to prop up other countries and "save the environment" it's reduced it's capacity to produce weapons. Meanwhile, Russia took a page out of the US' book after WW2 with the Defense Production Act. But instead of making it to where their manufacturers had to convert to a war production footing, they just built massive factories that could ramp up production capacity as needed. For example, remember back when the US celebrated a Canadian factory opening up, and said they could produce about 15,000 artillery rounds a month? In order to reach a production goal of about about 100,000 annually across all manufacturers? US officials concluded that Russia could produce 2 million shells annually if they ramp up production.
They don't have to import resources, or struggle to open up new operations to meet demand. Yes, they may have to move planes and stuff further away, but that's not the disadvantage you think it is. You're just shortening their supply lines and extending Ukraines. All Putin has to do, and has been doing really, is waiting the West out while everyone else expends resources. I know Europe has been having a hard time keeping up since they barely have an industrial base anymore.

They have struggled to meet demand though. Their advantage was massive stocks of weapons built up during Soviet times. In the past year half of their artillery shells have come from North Korea.
Take a look at what is happening with Russian Railroads. They are having tremendous problems.

Told by whom? The same guys who have held back using these missiles until now.
I remember the drone attacks. I don't remember them trying to take out Putin.
They don't want to turn Russia into glass. But they do want to balkanize Russia and divide all of its resources up because Europe has none and doesn't produce anything.
Go back and look at what was targeted by
that drone attack. It was the Kremlin.
You're assuming the goal is to hit Moscow.
There's plenty of military targets west of Moscow.
It also forces Russian to move planes, helicopters, ammo dumps and logistics hubs further away.
Storm Shadows from Britain were supposedly also approved.
Nuclear weapons within 100 miles in Russia

China is moving less cargo through Russia because trains get delayed for weeks at a time.

What that tells me is there is a larger influx of goods than the railway was prepared for.
Better to have that problem than a whole bunch of trains running empty.

We'll see where are after Christmas
