French SCALP EG Missiles Are Now In Ukraine | Aviation

A video from Zelensky’s visit to a Su-24 units shows that the French variant of the Storm Shadow has arrived in Ukraine and has already been put to use.

The SCALP EG missiles promised by French President Emmanuel Macron to Ukraine in the last few months are finally in country, as shown by videos released on social media. Ukrainian President Zelensky was seen signing one of the missiles during a visit to a Su-24 unit. While the date of the video is unknown, it was released just as new strikes with cruise missiles were performed against Crimean bridges.

The missile signed by Zelensky might be the first one delivered, as it was decorated with the SCALP EG writing painted in the French flag colors, the Coat of Arms of Ukraine with a superimposed Eiffel Tower and a logo which merges the Su-24 and Mirage 2000 shapes. Another writing between the two logos has been obscured. The aircraft carrying the missiles in the video was reportedly the same used in yesterday’s strikes in Crimea, according to a post from the Ukrainian MoD.

The SCALP EG (Système de Croisière Autonome à Longue Portée – Emploi Général / Long Range Autonomous Cruise Missile System – General Purpose) is the French variant of the MBDA Storm Shadow cruise missile, which has been in use in Ukraine since May. Just like the Storm Shadow, the SCALP EG is carried by the Fencer by using modified Tornado pylons.

Hide and seek. Last night, dozens of russian missiles and Shaheds searched for Ukrainian planes and Storm Shadow missiles at the airfields. But it wasn’t until today, in Chonhar and near Henichesk, that the russians finally found them. pic.twitter.com/Ei09qyFwR2
