Western sources say Kyiv has received several hundred Storm Shadow and Scalp‑EG cruise missiles from the UK and France since 2023, though the exact numbers have not been disclosed. Military analysts estimate the total deliveries are between 200 and 400 missiles, making them a key long‑range weapon for striking strategic targets deep inside Russia. Ukraine is believed to have fired at least 250 of these missiles in various operations, which may explain the recent decline in launch frequency. The Storm Shadow and Scalp missiles have a range of over 250 km and are designed for precise attacks on command centres, ammunition depots, bridges and other military infrastructure.
