Polish factories already had experience in equipping the MiG-29 with HARM AGM-88 anti-radar missiles. Now military engineers are faced with the task of equipping the Su-24M with Storm Shadow or SCALP guided cruise missiles.
These missiles have an infrared homing head and a range of up to 300 km. They are in service with several NATO countries and have already been used effectively in the Middle East.
The high price of SCALP, which is $1.4 million, will not allow Ukraine to massively equip its Su-24 bombers. However, even a few missiles launched from Ukrainian aircraft can hit Russian targets deep in the rear.
According to Polish experts, the installation of modern high-precision missiles on the bombers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is only a matter of time.
That will allow Ukraine to hit targets that are located at a distance of 300 km from the front line.
