Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles at nearly 100% accuracy — Zelenskyy
Anglo-French Storm
Shadow/SCALP-EG cruise missiles in service with the Ukrainian military have
so far hit intended targets with nearly perfect accuracy, Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at press conference in Kyiv on Aug. 23.
The president added that Ukraine is continuously working to acquire more long-range weapons from its international partners.
“We are lobbying for this through various channels, but we will definitely get results,” said Zelenskyy.
“Just as we received serious missiles. It was not easy; we have Storm Shadow, as well as from Rishi [Sunak, UK PM] I agreed with Emmanuel Macron about SCALP-EG, we received them. They work well. The military is very pleased, almost 100% hits on the enemy.”
Zelenskyy noted that the issue regarding other long-range weapons is not simple, but results will definitely come.
"We have various types of missiles, even on our [Soviet-era] warplanes we found an opportunity: that's how we are using Storm Shadow, Scalp, and other types of missiles. The question now is not about missiles, or not just about missiles. The question is about aircraft.”
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
