France has already begun deliveries to Ukraine of SCALP missiles with a range of over 250 km, which were developed by Matra and British Aerospace. This was reported by the French version of Huffingtonpost, according to the AFP agency.
According to media reports, the first missiles were delivered at the moment when French President Emmanuel Macron announced this.
According to Reuters, 50 SCALP missiles will be handed over to Kyiv.
Earlier today, Macron announced the decision to transfer long-range SCALP missiles to Ukraine. According to the French president, taking into account the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the situation on the battlefield, he decided to increase the supply of weapons and equipment to Ukraine.
The Kremlin reacted to the decision of France to transfer long-range missiles to Ukraine. They said that it remains to be seen what kind of radius they are talking about. “This, from our point of view, is an erroneous decision, fraught with consequences for the Ukrainian side, because, naturally, this will force us to take countermeasures,” said Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
