Storm Shadow missiles can hit targets up to 250km from their launch site – meaning that they could strike well within Russian territory.
Developed in an Anglo-French collaboration, they are armed with a penetrating warhead capable of destroying hardened and buried targets from long range.
Speaking in St Petersburg, Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a clear warning to the West: don’t allow Ukraine to use your long-range missiles to strike Russian territory.
Moscow, he said, would view that as the “direct participation” of NATO countries in the war in Ukraine.
