A Russian military source reported that Russian experts were able to uncover the secrets of the European “Storm Shadow” missile, which was seized by Russian forces.
The source explained that this knowledge will help determine the appropriate methods for shooting down this type of missile and how to construct the necessary fortifications to prevent it and achieve “zero” performance.
The source indicated that Russian experts will be able to develop effective countermeasures against models of these missile weapons.
The warhead of this missile is cylindrical in shape, approximately half a meter long and of the same diameter, with an internal concavity.
The source added that revealing the depth of the fortifications capable of being penetrated will help determine the nature and method of building the fortifications necessary to prevent it.
The source continued that the warhead of the “Storm Shadow/SCALP” missile consists of a protection layer and two charges: primary and primary, where the primary charge creates a hole in the targeted obstacle due to the cumulative effect before the violent explosion occurs.
The source confirmed that Russian experts understood the depth of penetration caused by the missile and its area on surfaces and learned about the models of sensors used and the potential depth of penetration.
It is noteworthy that the West provided Kiev with this type of missile within the framework of Western military aid, as it was developed jointly by France and Britain, and in France it is known as “SCALP.” Britain provided these missiles to Kiev in May 2023, with a range between 250 and 560 kilometers.
