"Unveiling Ukraine's Air-Launched Cruise Missile Arsenal: Insights from BBC Ukraine"

Ukraine's old Soviet-era aircraft, including Su-24M bombers and converted Su-24MR reconnaissance aircraft, equipped with British-French Storm Shadow missiles, remain the main air threat to Russian invasion forces until the Ukrainian Armed Forces receive Western fighters. The 7th Tactical Aviation Brigade has been dealing significant strikes against Russian forces, using the missiles to target enemy arsenals, headquarters, and bridges leading to Crimea. The Ukrainian Air Force managed to re-equip Su-24MR reconnaissance aircraft, turning them into strike aircraft, effectively creating a whole bombing squadron. Despite regular missile strikes on the air base, the Air Force continues to perform missions, with recent attacks damaging infrastructure. Ukrainian forces have also fired long-range missiles at the Chonhar Bridge, severely damaging it and disrupting military supply routes to Crimea.

"Russia's Strategic Strike: Targeting Ukraine's Vital Air Base for Storm Shadow Missile"

Russia launched a barrage of cruise missiles and exploding drones at a key Ukrainian air base, aiming to ground the planes that carry Ukraine's Storm Shadow missiles. Ukrainian air defenses successfully shot down 36 cruise missiles and destroyed several suicide drones, but some damage was inflicted by air-launched Kinzhal missiles. The extent of the damage is crucial as the base houses the only regiment that flies the Su-24 aircraft capable of carrying the UK-supplied Storm Shadow missile, which has been touted as a game-changer for Ukraine's counteroffensive.

"Ukraine's Lethal Missile: A Bathtub Buster"

A video has emerged showing Russian air defenses attempting and failing to intercept a Ukrainian Storm Shadow cruise missile, highlighting the struggle of Russian short-range air defense systems to track and intercept the low-observable missile. This revelation poses a significant threat to Russian rear areas, as a few incoming missiles could overwhelm their point defenses. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian counteroffensive continues, with Ukrainian troops establishing a bridgehead over the Dnipro River and making gains in various frontline sectors. Ukrainian forces are pushing towards the occupied city of Melitopol, and footage shows Ukrainian tanks engaging Russian trenches. Concerns also persist about a potential radioactive accident at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, prompting the deployment of a U.S. Air Force surveillance aircraft to Crete. The ripple effects of the recent coup attempt by Wagner PMC leader Yevgenny Prigozhin continue, with influential mil-blogger Igor Girkin criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin. Propaganda pamphlets found in a Russian trench near Bakhmut depict soldiers under the Russian flag doing good deeds while those under the Ukrainian flag engage in evil acts.

Ukraine's Defense Gets a Boost with New Weapons Against Russia's Modified Bombs.

Ukraine has received significant support from NATO members in the form of high-tech weapons, including more than 230 Western main battle tanks, mechanised infantry units, and HIMARS precision-guided rocket systems. The UK's recent donation of hundreds of Storm Shadow cruise missiles will also complicate Russian military plans. The Ukrainian military has undergone intensive training in the use of combined arms, and air defence systems have been effective in defending the capital, Kyiv. The coming weeks are likely to see a bloody counteroffensive as Ukraine aims to take back territory Russia took from it in the opening weeks of the invasion in 2022.

Ukraine receives British long-range missiles for counteroffensive.

Britain has donated Storm Shadow cruise missiles to the Ukrainian air force, providing Kyiv with a substantial step up in capability to mount long-range strikes against invading Russian forces. The Anglo-French-developed missile has a range in excess of 250 kilometers and is particularly effective against hardened and buried targets. The donation of Storm Shadow missiles means the British are the first nation to supply Kyiv with long-range weapons. The move comes ahead of a long-expected offensive by Kyiv against Russian forces occupying parts of the country.
