Storm Shadow and Scalp in Ukraine for six months: analysts have summed up the strikes on the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

Winged rockets of Great Britain and France are applied about once every 2-3 weeks, but still remains a mystery how to program ammunition for targeting, and how the Soviet Su-24 became their carrier. The United Kingdom and then France handed Ukraine winged rockets Storm Shadow/Scaple-EG for strikes in depth of Russian military sites. The Polish resource of Defense 24 summarizes the first results in 6 months.

Thanks to the integration of winged missiles into Soviet bombers Su-24MR Ukraine, Ukraine has the opportunity to strike from a safe distance from the front line. The authors of the publication say that the launch of missiles occurs 100-200 km from the fighting. Currently, it is little known about how missiles integrated into Soviet aircraft.

There is information that used the suspension block from the written Tornado IDS aircraft, but even more questions about electronic integration, how to program the missile to the missile. For the first time, the Storm Shadow in the Armed Forces arsenal became known in May, when the military object of the occupiers in the Luhansk region was attacked. ADM-160B Mald was used with rockets.

During the months of application, Russian blows to the airfield in Starokostiantyniv have probably did not become critical for the Su-24MR and continuing the strikes with winged missiles. France added its own Scalp-EG in about August. During the celebration of Air Day, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed on one of the Scalp-EG, which was hung on the Su-24 wing. The Russian Federation claims that they knock down Storm Shadow and Scalp-EG.

In particular, during a strike on the basis of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol, the enemy stated that 10 missiles were flying, of which 7 were knocked down. However, the authors point out two points: the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is not a reliable source, and Ukraine could use imitators. In general, according to open sources, Ukraine launches missiles at a frequency every 2-3 weeks.
