The missile can theoretically be fired into Russian territory, which Ukraine has promised not to do.
"While Storm Shadow's range is only slightly less than ATACMS, it has other major advantages - like nap of the earth terminal guidance and capability for 'painting' a target - that gives it greater strike capability over the US missile," Mark Hertling, a former commanding general of U.S. Army Europe, tweeted Thursday."Well done UK."
The Storm Shadow missile is also equipped with fire-and-forget technology and fully autonomous guidance. "The donation of these weapon systems gives Ukraine the best chance to defend themselves against Russia's continued brutality, especially the deliberate, which is against international law," Wallace said, according to video published by Sky News.
"Ukraine has a right to be able to defend itself against this. The use of Storm Shadow will allow Ukraine to push back Russian forces based within Ukrainian sovereign territory." Emirati and foreign visitors pass behind the French-made Storm Shadow/Scalp EG cruise missiles at the opening of the five-day Dubai Air Show on November 20, 2005. The U.K. on Thursday announced the sending of multiple Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine.The decision was made, Wallace added, to provide a"calibrated & proportionate response" to Russia's escalations.
