You mention that IMC LL strike means Storm Shadow.

Surely, since you were once a pilot, you can appreciate there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Why does the target need need to be bombed from LL in this day and age? What’s wrong with a GPS guided munition from an aircraft that can’t be seen on radar?

It may not be as much fun but it’s just as efffective and potentially far less risky.

As much as we all love a bit of low level, times have moved on. Thankfully we are getting the tools to move with them. Even if they are a little pricey!
