The Storm Shadow missile has a range of 250-300km, length of 510cm, width of 63cm, and height of 48cm. They are characterized by the ability to fly towards designated targets very low to the ground, making them difficult to detect by the enemy, even with the best air defense systems.
The Ukrainians fire these British missiles from Su-24 fighter jets specially modified for the above missiles. The missile is equipped with an efficient Turbomeca MicroTurbo turbojet engine, allowing Storm Shadow to accelerate up to 1,000 km/h.
According to media reports, Ukraine on Monday stopped using British-made weapons after US President Joe Biden authorized Kyiv to use long-range US missiles to attack targets on Russian territory. It was decided.
