MBDA Storm Shadow

Storm Shadow is a low-observable, long-range, air-launched cruise missile developed jointly by France and the United Kingdom and now built by MBDA. The British name is Storm Shadow and the French name is SCALP-EG. It descends from the French Apache anti-runway missile but carries a single penetrating warhead instead of cluster munitions. The missile weighs about 1,300 kilograms, flies at about Mach 0.8 on a Microturbo turbojet and has a range of roughly 250 kilometres. It follows a low path guided by satellite navigation and terrain mapping, then uses an infrared camera in its final dive. Royal Air Force Tornados first used it in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and it has since been supplied to Ukraine in large numbers.
