What is known about the supply of SCALP missiles to Ukraine
Let us remind you that today French President Emmanuel Macron, upon arriving in Vilnius for the North Atlantic Alliance summit, announced the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine, without specifying their type.
According to information, we are talking about SCALP missiles (flight range – about 300 km), which are an analogue of the British Storm Shadow.
The first missiles were delivered at the moment when Macron announced it, – said an agency source.
According to Reuters, we are talking about a significant number of missiles. It is noted that the missiles are not intended for use on Western-made aircraft.
The agency also reports that Paris does not consider the transfer of these missiles as a step towards escalation.
