Russia ‘seizes Brit-supplied Storm Shadow missile’ so experts can ‘learn its secrets’

Pro-Moscow sources claimed to have successfully “evacuated” one Storm Shadow missile from Ukraine as Russian weapons experts are set to dissect and analyse the weapon

Russia claims to have seized an intact British-supplied Storm Shadow missile as a “war trophy” to “learn its secrets.”

Pro-Moscow sources claimed to have successfully “evacuated” one Storm Shadow missile from the war zone to allow Russian weapons experts to dissect and analyse it.‌

Russian state media war correspondent Andrey Rudenko alleged Ukrainian forces “sold one Storm Shadow rocket to our [Russian] comrades.” But the former head of the Russian Space Agency, Dmitry Rogozin, said the missile had been shot down – apparently in a cornfield.

Rogozin said Ukraine shelled the area around the downed missile and sent troops to block Russian forces from securing the Storm Shadow parts. However he claimed that these efforts were “promptly suppressed,” according to the TASS News outlet.
