The range of the SCALP EG missiles received by the Armed Forces of Ukraine can reach 560 km
Yesterday, Emmanuel Macron announced in Vilnius that France would increase arms supplies to Ukraine. According to the French president, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will receive weapons and equipment that will allow them to strike at targets in the deep rear.
A Reuters source said that the missiles would be delivered in “significant numbers” from French army warehouses. If this is true, their flight range will be 560 km. The fact is that, according to the current French export legislation, the supply of missiles with a range of more than 300 km is prohibited. In this regard, the export version of the SCALP EG has a halved range. France will supply Ukraine with “home-grown” missiles. In one of the flight modes, they can cover 560 km.
Another source from the agency’s diplomatic circles claims that the batch of French missiles will be 50 units. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are already using Storm Shadow missiles in an export version. Their flight range is about 250 km.
