I really like the wording here. My initial thought was β€œhow the fuck did Putin get his greasy hands on Storm Shadows - oh. Heh heh heh.”

They're pretty easy to get a hold of nowadays, just send the adress of any known officer HQ and we'll send them over, express arial delivery :)

British/French made an air-launched cruise missile with a 550km stand off range. They are fairly low profile so hard to detect and the high stand off range makes it safer for the pilots flying the launch platform.

[–] bouh@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Notably the missile also has antibunker capability. Which is why Russian command centers are blowing up regularly.

It’s a British cruise missile. IIRC it was co developed with the French but the French call it SCALP. It’s been fucking up targets deep in Russian controlled territories.

[–] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I just realized that SCALP is a mild pun in reference to Tomahawk... hm.

it's a death missile. [edit] it is a boring bomb. if russia left ukraine today, that stupid missile would be nothing more than a boring bomb.

what? the missile "arrived"?

you can say it. the missile blew up some crap.
