Sharjah 24 – AFP: France has started delivering a significant number of SCALP cruise missiles to Ukraine, which will be integrated into non-Western warplanes, a French military source said on Tuesday.
The missiles, which can reach 250 km (about 160 miles, would only be used within Ukraine's internationally-recognised borders, the source told reporters in a briefing at a NATO summit in Lithuania.
Paris did not consider it as an escalation given that Russia was firing missiles with a much larger range, the source added.
