UK officials have stated that the United States has granted Ukraine permission to use Storm Shadow missiles for strikes on Russia. Now, US approval for the use of Storm Shadow missiles is expected, especially given that Ukraine has already used American long-range missiles in strikes against Russia. Storm Shadow missiles are compatible with Ukrainian Soviet-era jet aircraft. Depending on the variant, SCALP/Storm Shadow missiles have a range between 270 and 560 km. Background:Senior government sources suggested that Starmer's change in tone was deliberate, implying that the previous US objections to the use of Storm Shadow missiles had now been lifted.
