Handout photo dated December 2015 shows a Dassault Rafale fighter aircraft of the French Air Force equipped with SCALP long-range air-to-surface cruise missiles prepares to take off from an airbase in Jordan. Storm Shadow is an Anglo-French low-observable, long-range, air-launched cruise missile developed since 1994 by Matra and British Aerospace, and now manufactured by MBDA. "Storm Shadow" is the weapon's British name, in France it is called SCALP-EG. Ukraine fired a volley of British Storm Shadow cruise missiles into Russia on Wednesday, the latest new Western weapon it has been permitted to use on Russian targets a day after it fired U.S. ATACMS missiles. The strikes were widely reported by Russian war correspondents on Telegram and confirmed by an official on condition of anonymity. A spokesperson for Ukraine's General Staff said he had no information. Photo by ECPAD via ABACARESS.COM
