Storm Shadow: The weapon that makes enemy targets very vulnerable

Ukraine has hit a Russian chemical plant using Storm Shadow, the UK-made long-range missile, according to the country's military.

The "massive" hit was on the key Bryansk plant, a facility which is important to Russia as it makes gunpowder and explosives.

Storm Shadow missiles have been used in conflicts all over the world, as the precision-guided cruise missile can be used against ground targets and is particularly effective against large static targets such as bunkers.
