It is now known that three countries are already supplying Ukraine with missiles of this type: Great Britain, France and Italy.
The supply to Italy was announced by British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps during his visit to the MBDA UK production site, where these British missiles are being assembled and modernized.
I consider Storm Shadow to be an extraordinary weapon. Britain, France and Italy are preparing it for use, in particular, in the occupied Crimea, Shapps said in an interview with The Times and added that the British government plans to speed up the production of these cruise missiles.
Officially, the Italian government did not report the transfer of missiles of this type to Ukraine.
In total, according to unofficial data, the Italian air force has received 200 Storm Shadow missiles since 1999.
