3D MODEL OF STORM SHADOW MISSILE
The delivery of the Storm Shadow to Ukraine has been rumored on several occasions but this time it seems it is for real. According to the WAPO(and other major news outlets):
“In a procurement notice posted May 2 by the British-led International Fund for Ukraine, a group of northern European countries that has set up a mechanism to send weapons to the battlefield, the United Kingdom’s Defense Ministry asked for“ expressions of interest” in providing strike capabilities with a range of up to 300 kilometers, or nearly 200 miles. The notice asked for responses within three days.
No final decision has been made, according to a British official who declined to confirm the type, timing or quantity of weaponry under consideration. But the notice is a substantive step toward Britain itself supplying such munitions, and the requested specifications and capabilities closely match its air-launched Storm Shadow cruise missiles.”

We should find out shortly if this is going to happen. Will the United States step in to squash this plan? It would appear the Europeans are together on this and want to see it done. I say Go For It.
Tallyho!
