Paris will also continue its training program for 2,000 Ukrainian military personnel, who are being trained on French equipment.

France will supply Ukraine with a new batch of long-range SCALP missiles. French Defense Minister Sebastian Lecornu announced this in an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche.

The partners should keep aid to Ukraine at a stable level, he said, as this would also allow the Ukrainian authorities to consider policy decisions when it decides to do so.

The official emphasized that France will continue the training program for 2,000 Ukrainian military personnel who are training on French equipment.

The official predicts that Russian attacks deep into Ukrainian territory may intensify in the winter. He added that France will transfer the Mistral man-portable air defense system and SCALP missiles to Ukraine.

“To allow Ukraine to carry out strikes on the front line, in recent days I have signed a new transfer of about ten SCALP missiles, as promised by French President Vladimir Zelensky,” the minister said.


SCALP is the French version of the Storm Shadow cruise missile, a joint development between Britain and France.

The French and British versions of the missile are almost identical. The differences are only in software and carrier aircraft.

The range of SCAL missiles is 560 km, but there is an export version with a reduced range of up to 290 km and a smaller warhead.

We remind you that Russia has evacuated the Russian Black Sea Fleet from Novorossiysk due to expectations of a long-range missile strike from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
