Kyiv expects to receive Turkish missiles KHAN.

The UK may refuse to transfer Storm Shadow long-range missiles to Ukraine, as the process of adapting missiles to new aircraft may drag on indefinitely. Defense Express expert Ivan Kirichevsky argues that these missiles, although successfully tested in combat, are not the best choice for a confrontation with Russia, as they can be shot down by modern Russian missiles.

Kirichevskiy suggests that the UK could provide Ukraine with Turkish missiles instead of Storm Shadow. He notes that the Turkish KHAN ballistic missile, which has a range of up to 300 km, may be a more suitable option for the Ukrainian armed forces, as it has more potential compared to ATACMS.

Kirichevskiy also added that Ukraine already has Turkish jet systems, and KHAN long-range missiles can be provided in the shortest possible time, which is a key factor in light of the current situation.

Since the beginning of the conflict, Ukraine has insisted on obtaining long-range weapons from its allies, but so far this has been denied to Kyiv.
