[CTID1977]

Storm Shadow and the French job are the same missile with different names.

I know the Russians have said crossing a certain line results in an escalation but surely at one point a line is going to get crossed?

The line was crossed way back when they were routed at Kyiv.

Do we know if they've done the rail bridge as well.

I see Moscow are claiming it's Stormshadow on the orders of London.

Im not so sure about storm shadow.
It has a delayed detonation and firstly penetrates the target and then detonates.
Would it not of detonated in the water?

Ukraine Update: The one war stat that tells us what’s happening with Ukraine’s counteroffensive

There’s much fretting about Ukraine’s pace in its counteroffensive, having liberated only a handful of small settlements despite two weeks of heavy fighting. One of the reasons is certainly ...

It's only moscow claims, for all we know they're that incompetent they could have mistakenly bombed it themselves.

Storm Shadow is just a delivery mechanism that comes in different favours, what they are saying has been used is exactly what I said they needed to use last night on the thread. Its the storm shadow with the french KRISS submunition which is used for destroying runways. Its a type of cluster bomb but the submunitions are not as small as the bomblet type that were outlawed.

Whilst they call it Apache its the same missile as Storm Shadow but with the cluster munition warhead.

Apache (Anti-Runway Cruise Missile) - Air to Surface Missiles - Missiles - European Defence Equipment - Armed Forces Europe - edmis3a3

Apache is Europe's first operational conventional warhead air-to-ground missile which can be launched from outside of the range of all anti-aircraft defences

Thats a standard warhead though this one I think will be the Apache (Arme Planante À Charges Éjectables) version. So not a single bomb, but 10 smaller 50kg bombs inside that are dispensed just before impact. They would devastate a bridge deck as they aren't designed to penetrate the surface but instead detonate on the surface.

These are the different variants of the same platform which are all generically the same but with different warheads.

Devious as f*ck. And ingenious at the same time.

Right,gotcha......i did not know there was different versions of Storm Shadow.Knew it was a French/British thing,but just thought it blew the fuck out of what it hit.
Some of the Western weapons really are incredible how they work.
Cheers for that.
