Not silly. It is big news that France is contributing.

Also, the UKR jets that are upgraded to launch Storm Shadow will not require any additional modification to launch Scalp.

“Following the United Kingdom’s announcement that it had sent Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron has said his country will provide Kyiv with virtually identical weapons called SCALP-EGs.”

New favorite slogans:

Time to Scalp those RuZZian Boys.

Storm is casting a Shadow...
