Before that, analysts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) compiled a map with about 200 military facilities in the ATACMS and Storm Shadow range. However, only some of the facilities are on it. Ukraine may have more extensive information from intelligence, so strikes may be on command headquarters and other russian facilities that change their location.
The publication recalled that permission to strike at russian territory with long-range weapons was issued for so long that the russian military leadership transferred planes and helicopters out of the ATACMS range. However, now it takes more time and more fuel for russian aircraft to arrive.

Including one general.
Bloomberg stated on November 20 that the Ukrainian Defense Forces first used British Storm Shadow cruise missiles on military facilities on the territory of the aggressor country of russia. It was noted that the strike was carried out the day after Ukraine first used ATACMS to strike a military facility in the western Bryansk Oblast.
