France to send SCALP long-range missiles to Ukraine, Russia fumes with anger | Oneindia News
French President Emmanuel Macron has confirmed that France will provide Ukraine with SCALP long-range cruise missiles to help Kyiv’s forces strike targets deep behind Russian lines.
Speaking on arrival at a summit of the 31-member NATO alliance in Lithuania, French President Emmanuel Macron said he had decided to boost military aid to Ukraine to help its counteroffensive.
He said that the delivery would follow French policy of assisting Ukraine to defend its territory, implying that Paris had received assurances from Kyiv that the missiles would not be fired into Russia.
SCALP missiles have been already supplied by London under the name "Storm Shadow".
The SCALP-EG/Storm Shadow cruise missile is a British-French weapon developed in the 1990s by Matra and British Aerospace and is now manufactured by the European missile maker MBDA.
This weapon is capable of striking targets at a radius of 560 kilometers.
However, the export models have been specifically modified to operate at a reduced range of 250 kilometers.
On his state visit to Germany, French President Emmanuel Macron called on Europeans to "wake up" and resist the growing influence of far-right parties, criticising countries that accept EU funds but undermine democratic principles.
