Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on August 25 that the United Kingdom and France have approved the production of Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles in Ukraine. During a press conference with Estonian President Alar Karis, Zelensky confirmed that French President Emmanuel Macron had lifted restrictions on the SCALP missiles and related licenses.
This decision will help Ukraine move closer to producing the long-range cruise missiles at home. The UK government stated the agreement on August 24, allowing European defense company MBDA to share classified technical information on British-made parts of SCALP missiles with Ukraine.
