Storm Shadow Missiles Received By Ukraine Capable Of 'Covering' Lukashenka's Palace

A map has been published.

Defense Express expert Oleg Katkov stated that Storm Shadow's warhead is twice as powerful as ATACMS. The day before Britain officially announced about the transfer of long-range Storm Shadow missiles to Kyiv.

They have a range of more than 250 km. The AFU has not yet received anything more powerful from the West.

In an interview with TSN, Defense Express editor-in-chief Oleg Katkov gave his opinion on how the missiles can change the course of the war itself.

On the one hand, Kyiv has been asking the US to provide long-range ATACMS missiles for a very long time, however, the British ones are better than the American ones.

Storm Shadow is a mobile missile with an advanced targeting system.

Moreover, the British missile can hit not only a stationary target, but also a moving one. The warhead is also much more powerful than that of the American missile. It is capable of penetrating ground and reinforced concrete.

The missiles are ideal for destroying heavily defended military targets. The missiles are ideal to use even against a reinforced enemy air defence system.

According to Katkov, the missile can be programmed to bypass air defenses. Military experts believe it is 97% effective.

The British missile can be used against the Crimean bridge, but the expert is confident that the AFU will hit military facilities in the occupied Crimea, as there are many military airbases on the peninsula.

In addition, as the map shows, Storm Shadow missiles are capable of "covering" Lukashenko's palace.
