UK Will Share Classified Information on Long-Range Missile Tech With Ukraine
Russia took a dim view of the UK’s announcement, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying it viewed the development 'extremely negatively.'

This development allows the arms manufacturer MBDA to disclose details on British components for the SCALP missile, which is the French version of the UK’s Storm Shadow missile. The SCALP is described as a long-range autonomous cruise missile system.
