No Storm Shadow: Baiden stated that Ukrainian UAVs are more effective than rockets - the media
The American official noted the success of the Ukraine's program for creating long -range drones. He also pointed to the benefits of Ukrainian drones over Storm Shadow's Western missiles. "They have demonstrated the ability to impress some of these airfields that are out of reach of Storm Shadow, with the help of their own UAVs, which they built independently," said the representative of the US Presidential Administration.
The White House was also told to reporters that most aerodromes where Russian strategic bombers are based do not fall into the area of Storm Shadow of 250 kilometers. At the same time, other sources of publication in the defense department of Britain have stated that in fact the range of Storm Shadow flight is more than 480 kilometers.
However, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said, commenting on a successful UAV strike on Russian airfields, which are missions that cannot be fulfilled with the help of drones alone. He later added that the offensive on the Kursk Arc could be avoided if the Armed Forces could have been western weapons before Russia.
"We would not have to physically enter, in particular, in the Kursk region to protect our Ukrainian citizens in border settlements and eliminate the potential of aggression by Russia," said Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Former British Defense Minister Ben Volles noted that Storm Shadows missiles would really help Ukraine in the Kursk region, but German Taurus would come better because they carry warheads capable of destroying bridges more effectively.
"We should not have problems with the start of Storm Shadow in Russia, but it will not be the turning point that people imagine," Ben Volles said. - "What we really need, so that Germany is activating and setting its large Taurus reserves. " We will remind, according to The Times of July 27, the British Prime Minister Cyrus Starmer declared his readiness to weaken the restriction on the use of Storm Shadow Ukraine.
