Even the UK Is Impressed — Ukraine’s Storm Shadow Strike Was Pure Brilliance

Описание: Ukraine has carried out deep strikes inside Russian territory using Storm Shadow cruise missiles, targeting key oil facilities and military air bases far beyond the front lines. This was not symbolic signaling—it was a deliberate strategic escalation.

In this video, we analyze how British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles were employed to strike the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in Russia’s Rostov region, along with the Khanskaya air base near Maykop. These attacks demonstrate that Russia’s rear areas can no longer be considered secure. Long-range precision strikes against refineries, airfields, and logistics nodes inside Russia now represent a new phase of the war.

We break down how Storm Shadow missiles evade Russian air defenses, why terrain-following cruise missiles are notoriously difficult to intercept, and how Ukraine successfully integrated NATO deep-strike weapons onto modified Soviet-era Su-24 aircraft. The analysis also explains why refinery strikes are so damaging—disrupting fuel flows, weakening Russia’s war economy, and directly degrading air and ground operations.

The message is unmistakable: geography no longer offers protection. From the Rostov region to the Caucasus, Ukraine is expanding the battlefield into Russia’s industrial core, forcing Moscow to redeploy air defenses, overstretch logistics, and defend infrastructure once assumed to be beyond reach.

If you want to understand how long-range strike capabilities, precision weapons, and Western systems are reshaping the Ukraine–Russia war—and why Storm Shadow represents a turning point—this breakdown walks through what happened and what it means going forward.
