"And Storm Shadow, and Scalp, and the same in the future, I hope, Taurus is a missile that fly quite low. Caring them with the usual air defense products is extremely difficult," said Yuri Ignat. However, Storm Shadow is a winged rocket. The enemy attacks Ukraine with rockets that are the same in the class-X-101. In particular, they have similar speed and flight parameters, so Ignat believes that it is impossible to exclude the option that Russian air defense is knocking down Storm Shadow.
"But rockets have already shown that they come. And they come very well, that we really like it, so we need more such weapons in making decisions from our German partners would be very time," he explained. Storm Shadow is an inconspicuous winged winged rocket for a long air base. The rocket flight range is approximately 560 km at low altitude. This is a "shot and forgot" rocket, programmed before launch. After starting, the rocket cannot be monitored or given a self -destruction command.
We will remind, on July 29 Ukrainian fighters hit the Chongar bridge, which connects the mainland territory of Ukraine with the occupied Crimean peninsula. Kherson collaborator Vladimir Saldo said that the bridge had attacked 12 British Storm Shadow missiles, and allegedly all were knocked down. While the Colonel of the Armed Forces in stock, military instructor Roman Svitan estimated that only 5-7 British Storm Shadow missiles needed a serious disruption.
