London has already delivered some of these projectiles, which have already been adapted to the bombers of Soviet origin that Ukraine has.
The United Kingdom not only announced on Thursday the shipment of long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine. The information goes further, because a senior London government official has revealed on the CNN channel that kyiv already has them in its possession and that, in addition, They have already been adapted to aircraft of Soviet origin that owns the Ukrainian aviation.
These missiles give kyiv some attack capabilities that include the Kersh bridge connecting Crimea with mainland Russia and the entire corridor between this peninsula and Donbs. Ukraine in turn agrees with the United Kingdom not to use them to attack Russian soil. In theory they will be mounted on the Su 27 that Ukraine still has in its possession and that it can launch without having to fly over the areas occupied by the Russians. Each projectile is worth 1.4 million euros and flies over the battlefield 30 or 40 meters above the ground, making it difficult to detect and shoot down.
The United Kingdom will be the first country to supply Ukraine with long-range missiles in response to Russia’s “continued aggression,” British Defense Minister Ben Wallace announced Thursday. “The UK is going to deliver Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine,” Wallace told Parliament.
For some analysts, this British offer seeks to unlock the delivery by the US of Atacms missiles, with a range similar to Storm Shadow (about 250 kilometers in range) but operable from the same launchers used for the Himars.
With this weaponry, another supposed “red line” of the Kremlin, Ukraine acquires offensive capabilities who are seen in Russia as a great threat. Dimitri Peskov, the spokesman for Vladimir Putin’s regime, assured that this delivery would receive “a forceful response” from the Russian army, which is actually the same thing that it has said before other shipments of material that seemed unthinkable, such as the MiG29 fighters, Himars missiles or Leopard 2 battle tanks.
