UK Shares SCALP Missile Technology with Ukraine Amid Russian Threats
The UK has agreed to share classified technical information on British components of the SCALP (Storm Shadow) long-range cruise missile with Ukraine, enabling Kyiv to assemble these weapons domestically. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham visited Kyiv on Ukraine's Independence Day, reaffirming continued military support despite Russian warnings. Moscow condemned the move, accusing Britain of escalating the conflict and threatening to target missile production facilities and British factories involved in military equipment manufacturing. Experts note operational missiles may not be ready until next year, while Ukraine and France work on assembly lines.
