OUR Britannia supplied in Ukraine several Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles, CNN reported today, citing senior Western officials.

The British Ministry of Defense declined to comment.

His representative Kremlin Dmitry Peskov, in response to a question about this information, said that “our armed forces will give an appropriate answer.”

Last week, a group of European countries, led by the UK, asked companies to express their interest in supplying Ukraine with missiles with a range of up to 300 kilometers, but yesterday, Tuesday, the UK said that no final decision had been made on sending these weapons.

This year, the UK and other Western countries have increased their military aid commitments to Ukraine.

In January, the UK announced it would send 14 of its own Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine, prompting other countries, including the US and Germany, to send the tanks as well.

According to the company’s website, Storm Shadows, manufactured by the European missile company MBDA, are air-launched long-range missiles designed to strike high-value targets such as hardened bunkers and critical infrastructure. According to the manufacturer, they have a power reserve of more than 250 kilometers.
