It's likely been limited to 300km range. That must be why Russia media said we are 'especially blood-thirsty' recently. They brought this on themselves by repeatedly sending cruise missiles and drones into civilian targets in Kyiv and other cities.
The RAF website also states over 300nm (560km) on a lo-lo flight profile. So theoretically it could travel at sea level all the way to the Kremlin but it's likely been tampered to prevent that. The range makes sense really, NSM does 100+nm lo-lo and 300nm hi-hi-lo altitude and that's tiny compared to Storm Shadow.

They could do with some decoys to aid penetration. Likely to be launched by Su-24s IMO.
Its size makes it the best plane for carrying Storm Shadow that Ukraine have.
YES, i agree, but there is some uncertainty as to whether the version delivered to the Ukrainians is restricted or not. i can't say, don't know.
Dramatic video shows a Russian soldier being shot at by his own side as he tries to surrender to a drone, Ukrainian official says
Drone footage shows a Russian soldier's dramatic scramble through explosions and dead bodies to surrender to Ukraine, an official said.
As long as it can reach Sevastopol and the Kerch bridge, that's enough.
Likely probing attacks which is lulz that it has panicked the Russians. Imagine the panic when they start seeing dozens of Leo's and Bradleys coming their way. I have a feeling when the real offensive starts next month Russian lines are going to crumble much faster than the Kharkiv and Kherson offensive.
