major difference for ukrainian forces? some differences. it has a slightly longer range than what the storm shadow provides. the difference is that the storm shadow has some capabilities that the atakams does not have. they include a gps map of the earth navigation capability and the reason for that, it allows for more efficient use of fire power and effective targeting. a little less range, more capability and noting ukrainian forces are preparing for a counter offensive right now and this new weapon system, missile system, will give them the capability they didn t before. thanks so much as always. with a name like storm shadow it is begging for a g.i. joe reference, and i am here to deliver. as ukrainian ukraine gets ready, former president trump in his town hall would not commit to supporting ukraine if he wins the presidency again. here s the moment.
jim, is quite profound because it s about triple the distance of the weapons ukraine has. this is the export version of the storm shadow. the version of france and britain use actually has a double range as well. so what you re talking about is a cruise missile with stealth capabilities, and it also has earth navigation capability. it flies about 150, 130 feet above the ground or a little less than that. so this is a very important missile from that standpoint. that can allow them to full fly under russian missile defense? i ve seen these flying in ukraine. it s scary to see one because they don t fly that fast. you can see them as they move around, anyway, it s threatening if you see one come your way. the ukraine map, distance is key here. in my reporting, the agreement between the uk and ukraine to get these weapons which they ve been begging for for a long time from the u.s., and its allies, is that they will only fire inside ukrainian sovereign

officials, i should note again, ukrainians have said they will not. why does that concern u.s. officials? what they want to do they want to make sure no russian territory is in range of any ukrainian weapons system and the reason they are doing that is because, for example, right about here is bell ga rad and that is an area that has nuclear weapons. it also has a russian military base, and it s so close to the ukrainian border that it would be within easy range even of the weapons systems that ukraine currently has. they want to make sure the ukrainians live up to this promise so they don t elevate the tensions and bring the russians into a higher level of fighting. we know, for instance, that ukrainians have been asking for this. this is the a u.s. long-range missile system known as the based on its acronym there, 185 miles, a little bit longer, they wanted this. instead they re getting the storm shadow.
