🇬🇧British and 🇫🇷French mass media are interested in what type of cruise missiles the Ukrainian pilots sent the vessels "Minsk" and "Rostov-on-Don" after "Moscow".

It is quite logical, because you cannot think of better advertising for a national arms manufacturer.

I report!

Aviation ✈️ Air Force has two types of cruise missiles provided by partners to fight the occupier.

We hang the British "Storm Shadow" under the left wing of the Su-24M, the French "Scalp" - under the right

Both rockets work great, no chance for the occupier!

Under the wings of our bombers there will be a place for the German "Taurus". Then it will be possible to continue the "city game" even more effectively.

🤝 Once again, I thank our Western partners for the weapons and equipment that help destroy the aggressor and liberate Ukrainian land!

🇺🇦 Together - to victory!

No, nothing about that crap is "logical".

They are both the same cruise missile with a different paint-job, originally co-developed by a british and a french company and for quite some time only produced by a single multi-national company.

If anyone believes that production for either the british or french missile is completely done "in-house" instead of sourcing exactly the same components from exactly the same suppliers, I have a bridge to sell you...

That's just bullshit nationalism over which name your military is using for the same item.

Are we comparing to see which country send the best Leopard-2A4 next... Spoiler: they are also the same model with some instrument labels translated

Yeah, but the french ones just feel much nicer, it's a more refined explosion and not that plebeian bang of the British ones.

Please tell me the French also have their own more refined made-up backwards acronym for the warhead to compete with "BROACH"...
