Ukraine can get from Britain Aviation Winged Storm Shadow missiles - Wallace (video)

The high-precision SCalp EG/Storm Shadow rocket "Air Earth" is designed to damage the fortified objects at a distance of more than 250 km. UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace stated during an interview with Times Radio that he did not exclude the possibility of providing Ukraine with long -range weapons, including Storm Shadow Aviation Winged missiles.

The head of the British Defense Office explained that officials could not speak directly about plans for the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since this information would help Moscow. Therefore, London will discuss the supply of weapons directly with Kiev. "I am not going to engage in the assumptions about the supply of weapons. The minister also noted that the United Kingdom is not going to attack Russia, but in this case it is said that Ukraine can protect itself, so help it will continue.

The Air Earth-Earth rocket Scalp EG/Storm Shadow is one of the most famous aviation winged missiles created at the turn of the XX and XXI centuries. It is a common British-French technology that has two modifications-"Scalp Naval" and "Black Shaheen". The rocket can be included in the F-35 combat aircraft, Panavia Tornado Gr.

Earlier it was reported that the US Defense Ministry has confirmed plans to transfer to Ukraine the missile defense systems Patriot. The transfer will be possible after the approval by the Minister of Defense Lloyd Austin, after the plan will be sent to President Joe Biden for signing.
