greetings military enthusiasts welcome back to our Channel where we bring you the latest
updates on warfare technology in today's video we're diving deep into the incredible
success of the Storm Shadow missiles in the ongoing Ukraine Russia conflict
is
over the past months Storm Shadow missiles have been making headlines
for their astounding accuracy hitting 100 of their intended Russian targets these
Advanced Precision guided missiles have become a game changer in the
conflict delivering devastating blows to key enemy installations
the United Kingdom has stated that the Storm Shadow missiles supplied to Ukraine are
achieving highly precise strikes on their intended targets causing disruption to Russian operations
UK defense minister Ben Wallace emphasized the significant impact of the Storm Shadow missile
on the battlefield in a statement to the house of comets he praised its exceptional accuracy and
consistent ability to successfully deliver the intended payload as designed by the ukrainians
the missile manufactured by mbda is air launched and has a range that surpasses 155
miles it is specifically designed to fly at low altitudes after launch aiming to avoid detection
the Storm Shadow missile
the Storm Shadow or scalp EG is a long-range air-launched cruise missile developed through
collaboration between Matra in France and British Aerospace in the UK it was designed
with the objective of effectively neutralizing significant fixed targets particularly bunkers by
bypassing air defense systems the missile measures approximately 5.1 meters in length and can reach
a maximum flight weight of 1300 kilograms it carries a warhead weighing 450 kilograms
originally developed in the late 1990s to the early 2000s the Storm Shadow scalp EG
is currently manufactured by the mbda Consortium
this enhanced range capability grants Ukraine the ability to conduct Precision strikes
the Storm Shadow missile is equipped with a broached tandem War hit specifically
designed to penetrate hardened targets such as bunkers the Warhead employs a precursor charge
to initiate penetration of fortified structures followed by the main charge that could be fused
for penetration mode this allows the missile to detonate after successfully breaching the target
in terms of guidance the missile incorporates a combination of inertial navigation system GPS
and terrain referencing these systems work together to ensure accurate navigation and
targeting capabilities for the missile during its flight throughout its flight trajectory
towards the target the Storm Shadow scalp EG missile relies on a triple navigation system
this system combines inertial navigation GPS and terrain tracking to ensure precise guidance
[Music] the integration of Storm Shadow scalp EG missiles has been successfully
accomplished in various aircraft platforms including the eurofighter
typhoon du so rafale panavia tornado and desso Mirage 2000.
notably the Ukrainian Air Force has recently employed these missiles on
their su-24 aircraft further expanding the utilization of Storm Shadow scalp
EG in their operations in order to utilize Storm Shadow cruise
missiles Ukraine has undertaken the task of modifying soviet-era Ukrainian aircraft
on May 24 2023 Ukrainian defense minister Alexi reznikov disseminated
a leaflet featuring an su-24mr Frontline reconnaissance aircraft
suggesting that it has been equipped with a Storm Shadow cruise missile
in June 2023 photographs circulated on social media showing a Ukrainian su-24 aircraft with
two British missiles attached beneath its wings the aircraft was engaged in the combat Mission
aimed at neutralizing Russian targets within the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine
to ensure compatibility between the su-24 aircraft and the Storm Shadow missiles
Ukraine likely Drew upon its experience and Technical expertise gained from adapting
soviet-made Ukrainian warplanes to accommodate American harm anti-radiation missiles and J Dam
equipped bombs which you creating an aviation employs in strikes against Russian forces
according to the Minister of Defense Alexi reznikov the Ukrainian military has achieved
a perfect success rate in utilizing the long-range Storm Shadow missiles
reznikov stated that out of all the Storm Shadow missile launches conducted thus far 100 of them
have resulted in accurate hits on the targets designated by the general staff in other words
every single missile launched has successfully reached its intended target with precision
Storm Shadow missiles have demonstrated their capability to penetrate Russian
air defenses in occupied territories and effectively Target significant
military objectives controlled by Russian forces
the integration of British cruise missiles into Ukrainian combat aircraft
has significantly enhanced the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian military
it is important to recognize this psychological impact on the enemy
resulting from the utilization of these missiles the enemy now possesses first-hand
knowledge of the Ukrainian Army's capacity to deliver precise and impactful Strikes
