Newsweek: Russia Says It Shot Down Seven Storm Shadow Missiles in a Day 

Russian air defenses shot down seven of Ukraine's newly-promised long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles, Moscow's Defense Ministry said on Tuesday. 

Russia's military "intercepted seven Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles, three HARM anti-radar missiles, and seven HIMARS multiple rocket launchers" in a day, the government department said in a statement posted to Telegram. 

On Monday, Russia said it had shot down a singular Storm Shadow missile. 

On Thursday, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace confirmed that the United Kingdom was providing Ukraine with the missiles. The move gave Kyiv what is thought to be its longest-range strike capabilities yet.

WNU Editor: Russia has provided no evidence yet of shooting down 7 Storm Shadow missiles on the same day. But these missiles are not hypersonic missiles, and like America's HIMARS, they can be neutralized or shot down.

Good for Russia for standing up to the woke west. If I had kids or grandkids here I sure as hell wouldn’t want them to be transvestite boot licking slaves, let alone being brainwashed at at 5 yrs old into actually becoming one. Shame on anyone who supports that. 🌈 👢 👅 😢
