Ukraine gains ability to domestically assemble SCALP/Storm Shadow missiles

The post describes the UK sharing classified design details for British-made SCALP/Storm Shadow components, enabling Ukraine (with existing French licensing) to move toward domestic assembly/production of the cruise missile. If realized, this would shift Ukraine from recipient to local producer of a Western long-range strike weapon, potentially improving sustainment and scaling over time despite manufacturing constraints.
