 Russia, Paris getting more and more involved in conflict with Moscow. France is getting more and more indirectly involved in a war against Russia by providing weapons to Ukraine, Russian Ambassador to Paris Alexei Meshkov said. Obviously, it cannot be said that the entire French society supports this decision because everyone understands that France is getting more and more involved in a war against Russia, albeit indirectly. Still, it is in no way in line with the interests of French society. The envoy told the Rossiya 24 TV channel commenting on France's move to send 50 scalp long-range cruise missiles to Kiev. What the French government did deserves the strongest condemnation, the diplomat stressed. Scalp is a 1,300 kilogram missile armed with conventional explosives usually launched from aircraft such as the UK Air Force's Eurofighter Typhoon or France's Rafale. The missile is capable of striking targets far into Ukraine's Russian occupied east well behind front lines that have remained relatively fixed for months. The missile uses inertial navigation, GPS and terrain referencing to chart a low altitude course to its target to avoid detection. The warhead can be programmed to detonate either above the target in what is known as an airburst or on impact or after penetration. Such capabilities are critical for Ukraine's forces to disrupt Russian logistics and command and control.
