Storm Shadow will not be wasted on oil refineries. They are too expensive. The better target are radars of air defense sites. Those are extremely expensive as well and hard to replace. They also can not be easily targeted by cheaper long range missiles. However more of those missiles can reach deep into Russia, when air defense is in worse shape.
