Vähän jytkympää ohjusta Ukrainalle
Tämä on toivottua kaukovaikuttamista
Koska kyseessä on FRA/UK yhteisprojekti niin vaati molempien hyväksynnän. Macronin eilinen kommentti että nyt tulee tavaraa pitää täysin paikkansa, Ranska on herännyt.
Instead of ATACMS: Storm Shadow, cruise missile with 300 km range and 450 kg warhead, is about to be fitted to the first Ukraine SU-24 jet in Poland.
Poland will integrate Soviet Su-24 bombers with NATO SCALP missiles. The Polish military is waiting for the arrival of the first Su-24M bomber of the 7th brigade of tactical aviation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Experts plan to ensure the integration of the Ukrainian aircraft with NATO-standard missiles.
Ukraine’s closest ally has two large aircraft repair factories that work with Western weapons. These are the WZL aviation military factories in Warsaw and Bydgoszcz, as well as the PZL State Aviation Plant in Mielec, next to which the Rzeszów military airfield is located.
The Polish factories already have experience equipping the MiG-29 with HARM AGM-88 anti-radar missiles. Now military engineers are faced with the task of equipping Su-24M with Guided Cruise Missiles Storm Shadow or SCALP. These missiles have an infrared homing head and a range of up to 300 km. They are in service in several NATO countries and have already been effectively used in the Middle East.

The BROACH warhead (Bomb Royal Ordnance Augmented Charge) features an initial penetrating charge to clear soil or enter a bunker, then a variable delay fuze to control detonation of the main warhead.
Intended targets are command, control and communications; airfields; ports and power stations; AMS/ammunition storage; surface ships and submarines in port; bridges and other high value strategic targets.
It is a fire and forget missile, programmed before launch. Once launched, the missile cannot be controlled or commanded to self-destroy and its target information cannot be changed. Mission planners programme the missile with the target air defences and target. The missile follows a path semi-autonomously, on a low flight path guided by GPS and terrain mapping to the target area. Close to the target, the missile climbs and then bunts into a dive. Climbing to altitude is intended to achieve the best probability of target identification and penetration. During the bunt, the nose cone is jettisoned to allow a high resolution thermographic camera (Infrared homing) to observe the target area. The missile then tries to locate its target based upon its targeting information (DSMAC). If it can not, and there is a high risk of collateral damage, it will fly to a crash point instead of risking inaccuracy.

Storm Shadow / SCALP is the air-launched long range, conventionally armed, deep strike weapon, designed to meet the demanding requirements of pre-planned attacks against high value fixed or stationary targets.

Edit:
Uutinen puhuu 300km rangesta, valmistajan sivut +250km, wikipedia 560km ja limited vientiversio saudeihin 250km.
Primäärilähteeksi mainitaan Royal Airforcen dokumentti jossa kantama on jo +560km.
Tomahawk painaa saman 1300kg, moottori on hieman hiljaisempi ja hitaampi ohivirtaussuihkumoottori kun stormissa on turbojetti. Tomahawkin kantama perinteisellä 450kg taistelukärjellä on 1700 km (Block III TLAM-C,), joten paljon uudempi STORM tuskin jää kantamasta polttoainekuorman ollessa molemmissa sama.
Edit 2: Tomahawk käyttää TH-Dimer (RJ4) rakettipolttoainetta joka on hyvin energiarikasta, googlesta en saanut selville mitä ajoainetta Stormin Microturbo TRI 60-30 moottori syö.
Kun 560km piirretään kartalle niin näille päästään UA:n ilmatilasta moskovaan
Jos mennään 300 km mukaan niin ei sekään ole huono
