Few thoughts on the story about Storm Shadow/SCALP. 1) It is unlikely that such production could realistically be set up on Ukrainian territory in the current situation. No need to talk about concealment of actual missiles deliveries either: in London and in Paris no one makes any secrets of the missile transfers, and they are very proud of it. The missile is, indeed, a good one. 2) It is not entirely clear how the transfer of technology to Ukraine would help to address the ‘bottlenecks’ in the production of such items. Engines, guidance systems and penetrating warheads cannot, strictly speaking, be produced ‘in a garage’. 3) Use of certain technologies in domestic Ukrainian missile and drone development is entirely possible, including at the level of general engineering solutions. That said, it is worth bearing in mind that, firstly, the Storm Shadow missile itself was developed quite some time ago, and France and the UK are currently working on a next-generation family of missiles as part of the Stratus programme. 4) Finally, this is a yet another nail in the MTCR coffin. Sad.
