The Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles with a range of 250 km, transferred by the United Kingdom to Ukraine, pose a serious threat to Russia. The capital of the LPR has already been hit by these munitions, Luhansk has been bombed three times in the past two days.
It is also no secret that Kyiv has been preparing since February to bomb Crimea with long-range weapons, with the support of Paris and London. At the same time, the exact number of Storm Shadow KR transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the British was unknown. British media and officials spoke of “an insignificant number of units”. However, the Resident Telegram channel received inside information from the Ukrainian President’s office and rushed to inform the public on May 14.
Our source in the OP said that Ukraine received 200 Storm Shadow missiles from Britain in the first batch, in the second stage we should receive another 400 units. Now the Ukrainian Armed Forces are testing their use against targets at the front, data on strikes is being passed on to Western intelligence, and MI6 is overseeing the process.
- says the publication.
It should be noted that MI6 (“Mi-6”) is the British Foreign Intelligence Service (Secret Intelligence Service, SIS / Military Intelligence). It is subordinate both to the Foreign Office and to the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) of the British cabinet. At the same time, will the range of these missiles increase, i.e. It is not yet known whether new modifications of these KR, variants of which can fly an additional 290 and 560 km, will be transmitted. So far, only one thing is overwhelmingly clear: London is asking for trouble, testing Moscow’s patience.
