What is known

In any case, even the export version withwith a range of 260 km is enough to hit targets in the territory that is temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation. Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said that every Storm Shadow launch ended in the destruction of the target. So far, British missiles are showing 100% accuracy.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine use front-line Su-24MR aircraft to launch missiles. MiG-29 fighters cannot carry Storm Shadow due to the heavy weight of the cruise missiles.
In the future, Ukraine may receive even more long-range weapons. In particular, France has an analogue of the Storm Shadow called SCALP EG, and an official request for the Taurus has already been sent to Germany.
