Ukraine uses British Storm Shadow missiles to strike Russia for the first time
Ukraine has reportedly used British-made Storm Shadow missiles inside Russia for the first time. This follows a recent U.S. decision allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russian forces, marking a significant shift in military strategy. The Storm Shadow missile has a range of about 155 miles and is designed to fly low to avoid detection. Previously, long-range strikes were limited to targets within Ukraine and occupied Crimea, but this new development expands Ukraine's operational capabilities. The U.S. has been cautious about escalating tensions with Russia, but the recent changes in policy come amid concerns over North Korea's support for Russia. Other countries, like Germany, continue to resist supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine, while France is open to discussions on the matter.
