The Storm Shadow deliveries to Ukraine occurred prior to the authorization from the US and Britain for Kiev to conduct strikes deep into Russia, according to reports from Bloomberg.
Sources indicate that Britain supplied "dozens" of additional long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine to address dwindling stockpiles. These shipments, which were not made public, were said to have been completed before the UK, US, and France granted Kiev permission for expansive missile operations targeting Russian territory.
According to individuals familiar with the situation, the UK-produced munitions reached Ukraine “several weeks ago.” However, details regarding shipment dates and the specific number of missiles provided were not disclosed due to operational security concerns.
The British Defense Ministry declined to provide additional information, stating, “we do not comment on operational details, as it would only benefit” Russia, while reaffirming that UK support for Ukraine remains “ironclad.”
Since the conflict escalated between Moscow and Kiev in February 2022, London has supplied an unspecified number of Storm Shadow missiles. The last confirmed delivery of this munitions type by UK authorities occurred in April.
The Storm Shadow is a precision-guided, air-launched missile with a range exceeding 250 kilometers. Jointly developed by London and Paris, the French version is referred to as SCALP.
Recent reports indicate that the Ukrainian military utilized the first Storm Shadows against internationally acknowledged Russian territory, specifically targeting the Kursk Region. The Russian Defense Ministry claimed to have intercepted two UK-made missiles on that day, although they did not disclose the precise location of the incident.
This use of Storm Shadows coincided with a Ukrainian strike on Russia's Bryansk Region the day prior, employing US-supplied ATACMS missiles.
Russia has consistently cautioned the West about permitting long-range Ukrainian attacks, suggesting that this would lead to NATO's direct involvement in the conflict given Ukraine’s limited capacity to operate sophisticated weaponry independently.
In response, Russia deployed its new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile against a Ukrainian military industrial facility in Dnepropetrovsk last Thursday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin characterized the strike as a “combat test” of advanced weaponry, emphasizing that such "tests" will persist as conditions dictate. He stated, “We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow the use of their weapons against our facilities, and in case of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in mirror-like manner.”
