'Russia must recognise that its actions alone have led to such systems being provided to Ukraine,' British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said on Thursday.
Long-range missiles supplied to Ukraine's armed forces will present tough new challenges for Russian defenses,On Thursday, British Defense Secretary, Ben Wallace, told U.K. lawmakers that long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles"are now going into, or are in, the country itself." He did not confirm how many missiles in total would be sent to Ukraine.
However, Ukraine has insisted it would not use such capabilities to attack targets inside Russia's borders. Ukrainian Defense Minister, Oleksii Reznikov, said in early February that"we will not use weapons supplied by foreign partners to fire on Russian territory." The missiles have a far better chance of striking a specific target than more basic military drones, he toldThe air-launched missiles have a range in excess of 155 miles, according to the manufacturer. They are designed to"meet the demanding requirements of pre-planned attacks against high-value, fixed or stationary targets," even in extreme conditions, MBDA Missile Systems said of the Storm Shadow.
