Britain to share classified missile tech with Ukraine to boost long-range strikes

Britain says it will share classified missile technology with Ukraine to bolster Kyiv’s ability to strike targets behind the front lines, including the use of long-range ground-launched weapons like the SCALP missile with a 225-kilogram warhead. The move builds on prior UK missile support (including Storm Shadow in 2023) and is part of broader collaboration with defense firms to develop systems surpassing 500 kilometers in range. Moscow condemned the move, while analysts say such capabilities would complement Ukraine’s drone power and firepower.

Ukraine’s Voronezh Strike Fuels Storm Shadow vs ERAM Debate

Ukraine reportedly struck the Voronezh VZPP plant (a maker of electronic components for Kh-101 and R-500 missiles) with cruise missiles on June 22. While Storm Shadow is the most widely discussed option, some sources point to new ERAM missiles (AGM-188A) with a range over 930 km, and there is speculation about a two-wave attack to overwhelm air defenses. The visible damage—collapse of two floors and extensive destruction—also raises questions about warhead size, suggesting a possible mix of weapons, but verification remains pending.

"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.
