Ukraine has escalated its response to Russian aggression by launching UK-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missiles at targets within Russia for the first time. This bold move comes just days after US-supplied Army Tactical Missile System missiles struck Russian targets as well. These actions mark a significant shift in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
Former senior British officer and assault helicopter pilot Mikey Kay sheds light on how these advanced missiles will be deployed against Russia and how they could potentially disrupt President Putin’s plans in the Kursk region. With their precision and range, the Storm Shadow cruise missiles have the capability to change the military strategy in the area and pose a real threat to Russian forces.
The use of these sophisticated weapons highlights the increasing involvement of Western powers in supporting Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression. The decision to deploy British-made missiles underscores the international community’s condemnation of Russian actions in the region and their commitment to helping Ukraine defend its sovereignty.
As tensions continue to escalate between Ukraine and Russia, the introduction of these advanced missiles could potentially shift the balance of power in the conflict. It remains to be seen how Russia will respond to this latest development and what impact it will have on the ongoing military dynamics in the region.

Sounds all great, Nobody is talking about a possible nuclear war this might cause.
storm shadow can disrupt plans"??? what planet you on? last night Russia hit Ukraine with ICBM. this dwarfs all storm shadows,atacams,f16s, leopards and hundreds of billions of dollars put together. this was imitation of nuclear strike. just this time with conventional warhead.
To see these two talking like this is a disgrace! this decision has to go down as the most brainlessly moronic actions in our history! It would be a good start for the BBC to stop behaving as this idiotic governments propoganda armm!
Let us hope they do because the quicker he realises he is about to lose then he must Surrender and I am eluding too Putin.
Are you sure that Biden approved those flaming missiles? Did you watch G20, he is not even on the photo and did not behaved rationally ( for a few years now). It is just convenient for someone to blame later on an old sick man.
This what USA wants. They only want to be number one by destroing everybody else by manipolations that lead to wars.
They simply don't have enough to overly worry Russia the 12 they just shot off is probably a full quarter of there entire stockpile… were not making them in anywhere the quantity the Ukrainians would need to make even a minor dent in Mainland Russia military infrastructure..and that the simple truth of it, and at around 2 million a pop, the UK government can't just ramp up production and start shipping them in bulk either
So BBC back to game changers! Like all the F-16s, HIMARS and Leopard tanks.
BBC are propagandists for Keir Starmer's corrupt Labour government. Why do the BBC always back warmongers like Tony Blair and Keir Starmer?
Might stop my plans for the future as well as the rest of us!
And he fired icbm…report that too😂😂😂
These are not 30 year old missile systems by the way. They were originally developed 30 years ago, yes, but have been iterated , updated, and maintained at the expense of the tax payers. They're not laying in a bunker collecting dust waiting for a new modern super weapon to take its place. YouTube channels are filled with 3rd party bot farms spreading bull on both sides of the fence. Just be careful what you choose to believe. Saying these weapons are "30 years old" would be liken to saying the computer you're using is over 50 years old because it was developed in the 70's. They are over 1 million a piece, and should not be used as an artillery shell. You have to have a combined effort air-sea-land to make use of any one weapon or else you're just trying to create as much destruction as possible with no end goal for the war.
Zelensky can reach Smolensk, Kaluga, etc…
Putin can reach the South Pole.
Seems like a stupid idea for Zelensky to use his new toys.
Idiots
Why UK wants start 3WW?! do not speculate, just tell us truth!
Which part of the world do you guys actually live in BBC?
I thought are leaders were dumb… your leaders are even dumber than ours. It will only make it worse. ICMB's (if true) are being used now and for all the arm chair experts out there, a nuclear warhead can be attached to an ICBM.
It's going to cost russia a LOT to keep hold of Ukrainian land.
Bad still photo in thumbnail, dude look smug while people are dying and we move closer to a hot war with russia
Russian bots are running hot…
0:05 Oh look, Mikey's here
Here come the rusky bots to tell us that WW3 is starting because of this.
I'm guessing there won't be a single word said about the consequences of using Storm Shadow missiles in Ukraine. Of course Britain's Storm Shadow missiles are useless without American satellite guidance and targeting.
America and England are at war with Russia if you didn't know
Hope labour government are right this time they seem to be getting things wrong hopefully this ends well
Why is the 'independent' BBC so pro war?
HELP FOR UKRAINE-INSANITY/MADNESS .UKRAINE HAS HELPED GERMANS MURDER SINCE THE STARTING OF WWII. GERMANY ATTACKED GREAT BRITAIN (as, only, germans)…
2025 is very difficult to predict due to tech developements……for example: Palantir AI is now being used by Ukraine which allows Drones to operate on their own and LEARN. November 2024 is the smallest dataset that they will ever have…."blade runner world" is here…
Putin launched this war with the rather childish delusion that only he could bxxb and destroy cities and it would not be done against him . too late to stop now
Why why why why do we go on about it just let it happen, the more you discuss the more you play into Putin's mind games.
There is only one thing you should be saying and that is get the FCUK OUT OF UKRAINE and we wouldn't be sending them Storm Shadows.
Putin is crippling his own country thousands of Russian people will freeze to death this winter, due to the fact that all the engineers are either dead or dieing on Ukrainian soil.
12 more months of this Zar Putin otherwise known as ( Dick h..D in Ukraine) will be running a third world country
This is the correct policy. Get tough with Putin as it's all he understands. Putin invaded a sovereign country, attacked and killed many civilians and troops, plus infrastructure, brought in N.Korean troops, fired missiles and drones from Russia, covered the place in permanent mines, tortured people, stole kids to take to Siberia, stole property from people and businesses, stole millions worth in grain from Ukraine fields.
Nuclear cloud on the sky of UK
Nothing is more annoying than seeing these warmongers talk 😡🤬🤬
Just like all other "game changer" weapons they'll be obsolete.
A point to note, the delivery system for storm shadow is SU 27 not F16 does that mean the F16 were all destroyed?
Here we go guys. Damn
Why we getting involved with America's beef 🤦🏿♂️
Had Ukraine given 2 states that Russia asked for initially, so many state would have not been destroyed and there would have been peace. Fault lies at both sides.
Here we have the Biased Broadcasting Company doing what it does best. Spreading the government line, combined with disinformation, to manipulate public opinion.
The use of storm shadow cruise missiles supplied by the UK will only place this country at the top of any list of targets that Russia may consider. If you have children, give them a hug. You may not get too many more opportunities.
The day the BBC finds itself unable to continue cannot come too soon.
