The Annihilator Projectile That Ukraine Is So Anxious to Shoot

  • In the crucible of the 2003 Iraq War, under the relentless sun of the desert battleground, a new era of warfare was dawning.
    As the conflict began, the Royal Air Force’s 617 Squadron swept in armed with an unprecedented weapon system. Their aircraft carried an experimental marvel, an air-launched cruise missile of such advanced technology it still lived in the realm of dreams for most.
    Though this tech was not yet meant to see the light of day, the turbulent times called for desperate measures. Veiled under the guise of an ‘accelerated testing schedule,’ the RAF opted to unleash their precious Storm Shadow missiles on the battlefields of the Middle East.
    Undetectable by most conventional methods, these projectiles sliced through the air at near-supersonic speeds, streaking across 340 miles. The RAF Tornados were now armed with technology decades ahead of anything the enemy could possess.
    Twenty years later, the stealthy projectile continues to redefine the fate of nations across the globe. Experts speculate its potency could tip the scales in Ukraine’s favor in its struggle against Russian aggression.

    whilst Storm-Shadow is a joint UK / France project, there was an earlier stand-off missile the UK was playing with - BAeD Mantis (not the UAV) - it was designed to be launched from a Tornado and fly down a runway dropping special kinds of muntions to crater then deny repair, the main body would then fly off to a secondary target to hit - it did not go into production, as i believe the JP233 was choosen over it (after losses of tornado's it was also stopped) - the French were playing with their own version called ASMP C which did go into production - probably why both countries play together with Storm Shadow
    there is a famous picture of two marines pointing a hole in a HAS, each pointing from different directions - the first storm shadow hit the HAS going inside it and then a second went down the hole made by the first - whilst the HAS was slightly damaged externally, nothing survived internally - that BROACH warhead is extreme good at destroying anything it hits or gets inside of
    there is another quite famous video taken from the belly of a tornado showing the luckest driver in IRAQ - a car drives past as the first storm shadow hits on side of the bridge and as the car clears the final side of the bridge a second storm shadow hits that side - the bridge was almost totalled with vast amounts of it missing after the attack

    STORM SHADOW (song by Cat Stevens)
    Yes, I've been hit by a storm shadow
    storm shadow, storm shadow
    Leaping and hopping 'cause of storm shadow
    storm shadow, storm shadow
    And if I ever lose my hands
    Lose my plow, lose my land
    Oh, if I ever lose my hands
    Oh, if, I won't have to run no more
    And if I ever lose my eyes
    If my colors all run dry
    Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
    Oh, if, I won't have to scream no more
    Yes, I've been hit by a storm shadow
    storm shadow, storm shadow
    Leaping and hopping 'cause of storm shadow
    storm shadow, storm shadow
    And if I ever lose my legs
    I won't moan, and I won't beg
    Oh, if I ever lose my legs
    Oh, if, I won't have to run no more
    And if I ever lose my mouth
    All my teeth, north and south
    Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
    Oh, if, I won't have to talk
    Did it take long to find me?
    I ask the faithful light
    Oh, did it take long to find me?
    And, are you gonna stay the night?
    I've been hit by a storm shadow
    storm shadow, storm shadow
    Leaping and hopping 'cause of storm shadow

      It was considered long for an air-to-surface missile of this caliber in the 90s when people designed it.
      It's still much longer than usual surface-to-air countermeasures and "long-range" artillery. So it's still, in that particular sense and according to its role, "long range", even 560km (348 miles) is rather short for a cruise missile.

      Iran and North Korea both allowed Russia to use their weapons in a defense war in Ukraine. With a stipulation that it won't be used on NATO countries. This leads to some complications because without their weapons Russia would have lost on the battlefield as they are not able to produce weapons of their own.
      They are using EU money to expand their war production as they are in a 14% deficit just this year alone and owe the EU more than a trillion dollars.
