@HagwithAttitude@Ferretgrove@gingerrtom Pressing charges is an American thing, in the UK its the police/CPS that choose to prosecute. A victim can only choose to report and co-oporate.

Ukraine needs these sorts of missiles now and will take pretty much anything that would help.
UK knows from Ukraine that it needs to build a large stock of good enough missiles should we go to war. We dont need a thousend or so high-end, we need tens of thousands of good enough. We are no longer conducting strategic COIN OPS.
The same day the British government announced Storm Shadow cruise missiles would be phased out, citing "lessons" learnt "from Ukraine", the Ukrainian government announced negotiations to manufacture Storm Shadow's French variant, SCALP-EG, in Ukraine.
