Britain has sent Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine ahead of Kyiv’s long-awaited counter offensive against Russian forces, the Defence Secretary revealed today.
The 620mph, air-to-surface weapon, which can fly just 130ft off the ground, is a long-range missile with stealth capabilities that can evade enemy radar defences.
The 2,900lb, 6ft 9ins missile, which is made jointly by Britain and France, can hit targets 155 miles away.
