The Ukrainian military claimed that the strike was carried out by SCALP-EG (Storm Shadow) cruise missiles. According to open sources, indeed two Ukrainian Su-24 carriers with cruise missiles were shot down by Russian air defense forces 125 km northeast of Nikolaev.
Cruise missile strikes were launched from a distance of 370 km. Ukrainian reserves of Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles with a range of 300 km have reportedly been exhausted, and now the Ukrainian military is forced to switch to missiles with a range of 550 km.
