    I really like the wording here. My initial thought was “how the fuck did Putin get his greasy hands on Storm Shadows - oh. Heh heh heh.”

      They’re pretty easy to get a hold of nowadays, just send the adress of any known officer HQ and we’ll send them over, express arial delivery :)

      British/French made an air-launched cruise missile with a 550km stand off range. They are fairly low profile so hard to detect and the high stand off range makes it safer for the pilots flying the launch platform.

        Notably the missile also has antibunker capability. Which is why Russian command centers are blowing up regularly.

      It’s a British cruise missile. IIRC it was co developed with the French but the French call it SCALP. It’s been fucking up targets deep in Russian controlled territories.

      it’s a death missile. [edit] it is a boring bomb. if russia left ukraine today, that stupid missile would be nothing more than a boring bomb.
