France has blocked an EU initiative to let Ukraine use a European loan to purchase British made Storm Shadow missiles, according to The Telegraph. Paris says the money should be spent within the EU, while several other member states support looser rules. #Ukraine

That’s a bit petty, isn’t it? What’s the best tool for the job?

The German Taurus is the best. French/UK produce the Scalp/Storm Shadow, which doesn't have the range Ukraine really needs, but it would help a lot. They are developing a better family of cruise missiles together, but these are a long way off (years).

Ta! So am I reading it right that Scalp and Storm Shadow are the same rather than similar?
