We have written more than once that Ukraine is using Su-24 bombers to launch British Storm Shadow missiles. Now more details about the modification of the planes have appeared on the internet.
Here's What We Know
Ukrainian bombers have been fitted with pylons of decommissioned British Panavia Tornado jets. This was revealed by analyst @Osinttechnical. Judging by the photos, parts of the Tornado pylon were installed on a stock Su-24 pylon. The Storm Shadow missile is then hung from this structure.
By the way, Ukraine has modified not only Su-24 bombers, but also Su-27 fighters. They are capable of carrying AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles.
