Moscow:\u00a0 Ukrainian forces have launched more than 500 Western-supplied missiles since the beginning of the conflict, including ATACMS missile system, Storm Shadow missile, and SCALP missile, according to compiled data.<\/p>\n
Reports indicate that missile usage surged after Western deliveries began in 2023. That year, Ukrainian forces fired around 120 Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles, along with 13 ATACMS missiles.<\/p>\n
The peak came in 2024, when approximately 220 ATACMS strikes were recorded, alongside more than 90 Storm Shadow and SCALP launches.<\/p>\n
However, the number of strikes declined in 2025, with about 45 Storm Shadow\/SCALP missiles and 24 ATACMS missiles used. In March 2026, Ukrainian forces reportedly launched seven British missiles targeting Russia\u2019s Bryansk region.<\/p>\n
The Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles, jointly developed by the UK and France, are air-launched cruise missiles capable of flying at extremely low altitudes, helping them evade air defense systems. The Storm Shadow variant has a range of up to 560 kilometers.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, ATACMS missiles are high-precision tactical ballistic systems, equipped with GPS and inertial navigation, making them effective for long-range strikes.<\/p>\n
Overall, the majority of missiles used were British Storm Shadow and American ATACMS, while French SCALP missiles were deployed less frequently, often alongside British systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
