SIREN, SIREN, SIREN.

“Britain has delivered long-range ‘Storm Shadow’ cruise missiles to Ukraine ahead of expected counteroffensive, sources say”

“The Storm Shadow is a long-range cruise missile with stealth capabilities, jointly developed by the UK and France, which is typically launched from the air. With a firing range in excess of 250km, or 155 miles, it is just short of the 185-mile range capability of the US-made surface-to-surface Army Tactical Missile Systems, or ATACMS, that Ukraine has long asked for.”

“UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace confirms delivery of Storm Shadow to Ukraine.”

“Wow. CNN writes that the UK has supplied Ukraine with multiple Storm Shadow cruise missiles with a striking range of 250km, citing multiple senior Western officials. Ukraine assured the UK they will only be used inside Ukrainian sovereign territory.”

“This must mean that in the intervening period a way has been found to integrate these missiles with the Su’s or Mig-29 fighters used by Ukraine. Just like US engineers did with the AGM-88 HARM, integrating them with Ukrainian Mig-29’s.”
