Happy to be corrected,just wasn't sure if they could be launched from anything they have got.They didn't have aircraft to launch Storm Shadow / Scalps from either. The SU-24 has hard points that can have mounts fitted to carry the Tarus weight.
Problem is, you know that they are constantly lying. Why would Ukraine admit, or deny anything like this ?Anyone know if Russians claims that they hit and destroyed a stock pile of storm shadows are correct no denial from the Ukrainians
Whilst its clearly an indication of a lack of resources, it is financially more efficient. Radiation hardened chips are orders of magnitude more expensive than normal semiconductors and that's if you can source them, but the functionality is still the same.
Sadly, its probably still very effective.
The Germans use Tornados to launch them.Happy to be corrected,just wasn't sure if they could be launched from anything they have got.
I know they have tested it with the Gripen Aircraft and said it could be fully operational within 5 years.
That was a long time ago though..........I'm certain Ukrainian pilots have had training on Gripen.
Slava Ukraini.
Pretty intense fighting at Kozachi Laheri,Kherson Region....Left bank.
This is about 20km up river(Dnipro) from previous crossings.

They've used ex-RAF Tornado pylons for the Storm Shadow integration. This means they've probably (I'm guessing here) using the Def Stan 1553 data bus standard to control the munition. 1553 is used across NATO and, more recently, civil aviation.They didn't have aircraft to launch Storm Shadow / Scalps from either.
The SU-24 has hard points that can have mounts fitted to carry the Tarus weight on the air frame. I'm sure the Ukrainians will work it out - in fact the mount for the Storm Shadow will probably do as all things are standardised in NATO these days.
