The Storm Shadow deliveries were made before the US and Britain allowed Kiev to strike deep into Russia, the agency has said

Britain recently gave “dozens” of additional Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine as Kiev’s supplies were running low, informed sources have told Bloomberg.

The deliveries, which were not publicly announced, were completed before the recent approval of Kiev’s strikes deep into Russia by the US, UK and France, the news agency said in an article on Monday.

The UK-made munitions arrived in Ukraine “several weeks ago,” people familiar with the matter said. The sources declined to reveal the dates of the shipments or the number of missiles supplied, citing the need for operational security, Bloomberg added.

The agency sought clarification from the British Defense Ministry but was informed that “we do not comment on operational details, as it would only benefit” Russia. The ministry said UK support for Ukraine remains “ironclad.”

London has provided Kiev with an unspecified number of Storm Shadow missiles since the escalation of hostilities between Moscow and Kiev in February 2022. The last time the UK authorities confirmed a delivery of the munitions was in April.

The Storm Shadow is a precision-guided, air-launched missile with a range of over 250km (155 miles), which has been in service since the early 2000s. London developed the munitions jointly with Paris, and the French variant is known as SCALP.

According to British media reports, the Ukrainian military fired the first Storm Shadows into internationally recognized Russia territory a week ago, targeting Kursk Region. The Russian Defense Ministry reported shooting down two UK-made missiles on that day, but did not say where exactly it occurred.

The reported use of Storm Shadows came a day after Kiev’s strike on Russia’s Bryansk Region using US-supplied ATACMS missiles.

Moscow has repeatedly warned the West against allowing long-range Ukrainian attacks, arguing that they would make NATO a direct participant in the conflict, due to Kiev’s inability to deploy sophisticated weapons on its own.

Russia’s response came last Thursday, when the new Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile, equipped with a conventional warhead, was used against a Ukrainian military industrial facility in Dnepropetrovsk.

Russian President Vladimir called the strike a “combat test” of the state-of-the-art weapon and warned that such “tests” would continue depending on the circumstances. “We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow the use of their weapons against our facilities, and in case of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will respond decisively and in mirror-like manner,” Putin stressed.
