"STEALTHY & DEADLY: Sources report that Poland will help UKR adapt its Su-24 strike fighters to carry NATO ‘Stormshdow' missiles. Stealthy, transonic Stormshadows will give Ukraine a precision deep-strike capability in contested air defense environments." https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2022/11/01/storm-shadow-deep-strike-missile-on-ukrainian-supersonic-fencer/

350 miles just about puts Moscow in range.

Storm Shadow is an Anglo-French low-observable, long-range, air-launched cruise missile developed by Matra and British Aerospace.

350 miles just about puts Moscow in range.

I believe that STORM SHADOW / SCALP is an export version of Storm Shadow which limits effective range to 155nm.

Also, the export version does not have IR or IIR terminal guidance. It can only be used against fixed or stationary targets.

I hope that this integration effort doesn't take a long time and that Poland has a lot of missiles they are willing to sell or donate to Ukraine.
