Speaking of Crimea, there are rumors that the UK might supply Ukraine with Storm Shadow cruise missiles:

Ukraine Should Have No Problem Arming Its Old Soviet Jets With New British Cruise Missiles (forbes.com)

A low-observable (a.k.a. stealth) cruise missile with a range of 250km that can be launched from a Ukrainian fighter jet could be used to once again strike the Kersh bridge.

However, I have some doubts about these rumors. Each cruise missile costs $3M, and Ukraine will probably want to launch them in a salvo, so the UK might have to supply at least a dozen.

Plus the UK would put themselves at considerable risk of retaliation if they supplied these cruise missiles JUST for striking that bridge. I know, I know, PooTin is all talk when it comes to striking NATO, but there are still many in Europe who don't want to take the chance.
