The UK has supplied Ukraine with multiple Storm Shadow cruise missiles, a Western official has said, making it the first country to send long-range missiles to the country in its war against Ukraine
The £2.2m Storm Shadow is a long-range missile with stealth capabilities and has a firing range of more than 155 miles, which is sufficient range to strike deep into Russian-held territory to the east of Ukraine. The missiles will Ukraine new long-range strike capability ahead of the highly-anticipated spring counter-offensive.
A Western official told CNN, who first reported the decision, that the UK has received assurances from the Ukrainian government that the Storm Shadows will only be used within sovereign territory and not inside Russia.
A senior US military official told the American news outlet that the missile is “a real game changer from a range perspective”.
