Doesn’t Storm Shadow require Western operators to program targets? I want Ukraine to win this war of national survival (unlike the US administration) but Western operators programming missiles to hit targets in Russia does sound escalatory to me. I’d rather see Ukraine receive a decent number of F16s (i.e. much more than currently pledged) with corresponding munitions. There’s a lot of really useful stuff in the Western arsenal that would otherwise remain unused forever, including older-gen glide bombs & standoff weapons. It’s not going to be the Wunderwaffen winning this war, anyway. But an ample supply of decent weapons could work wonders. Just look at the success of Russia’s cheap glide bomb upgrades. (Sorry for the wall of text, by the way, but I can’t get Connect for Android to retain line breaks)
