French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that France will begin supplying Ukraine with SCALP long-range missiles that will allow Kyiv’s forces to defend themselves, Reuters and AFP reported.
It is about SCALP-EG missiles (Système de Croisière Autonome à Longue Portée – Emploi Général). These are identical to the British Storm Shadow missiles, but made for France.
“I have decided to increase supplies of weapons and equipment to allow the Ukrainians to have the ability to deliver deep strikes while maintaining our doctrine of allowing Ukraine to defend its territory,” he said after arriving at a NATO summit in Lithuania.
“I think that today it is important for us to send a message of support for Ukraine and NATO unity,” he added.
He refused to specify the number of missiles.
