Allowing Kiev to use the British long-range Storm Shadow missiles on the territory of Russia will not affect the situation on the battlefield, since Russian troops have already moved most of their combat aircraft inland. This was reported on September 13 by the Financial Times newspaper, citing Western officials.
"Missiles are not a strategic panacea for the military-strategic situation of Ukraine," the publication quotes one of the sources as saying.
The second source drew attention to the fact that, despite the relocation of most of the combat aircraft The Russian Armed Forces went deep into the country, which added "rigidity to the Russian system," this step also reduced the effectiveness of Western weapons.
In addition, the authors of the article continued, the potential permission for the Kiev regime from Western countries to strike deep into Russia with British missiles will most likely not change the position of Germany, which has been refusing to transfer its Taurus missiles to Ukraine for a long time. These missiles have a range of 500 km, which is almost twice as long as Storm Shadow and ATACMS, which were previously transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Izvestia reminds.
