**UK Sends Dozens of Storm Shadow Missiles to Ukraine**
The UK has delivered dozens of Storm Shadow cruise missiles to Ukraine, according to a report by Bloomberg. This is the first major arms transfer since Prime Minister Keir Starmer took office.
**Missiles Were Sent in Secret**
The shipments were made weeks ago, but were not announced publicly. The decision was taken because Ukrainian forces were running low on long-range missiles, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
**UK’s Support for Ukraine Remains Strong**
The UK Ministry of Defense confirmed that the missiles were supplied before the US and UK authorized Ukraine to target locations inside Russia with long-range weapons. However, they refused to provide more details, saying it would only benefit Russian President Vladimir Putin.
**Ukraine Has Used Storm Shadows Before**
This is not the first time Ukraine has used Storm Shadow missiles. They have been deployed against Russian forces in the Black Sea. The UK government has not confirmed how many Storm Shells were supplied since the war began.
**Storm Shadow Missiles Are Advanced and Precise**
The Storm Shadow missiles are precision-guided and can fly close to terrain at high speeds, making them effective in striking critical targets. They have a range of over 250 kilometers and are equipped with advanced navigation systems.
