The warhead of the Storm Shadow missile was received and studied by Russian specialists
Russian engineers managed to obtain and study the cumulative warhead of the European Storm Shadow/SCALP missile. They determined the penetration depth and the firing range above the earth's surface.
The most important part of the rocket is a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 50 cm and the same length. The bow is in the form of a funnel directed inside the hull.
The cumulative projectile of the rocket penetrates an obstacle, makes a hole due to the cumulative effect, where the inertial warhead penetrates, and an explosion occurs.
The study of the missile will make it possible to take countermeasures to protect against such weapons, including to create shelters with the necessary characteristics.
Storm Shadow is an inconspicuous cruise missile launched from airplanes. The range of damage is from 250 to 560 km.
