WASHINGTON — The US quietly allowed Ukraine to use American intelligence to strike targets inside Russian territory with British-made and supplied long-range missiles earlier this week, multiple sources tell The Post.

The Storm Shadow cruise missile slammed into a Russian explosives and rocket fuel plant Tuesday in the Bryansk region , which borders both Ukraine and Belarus — a strike that blew through Moscow’s vaunted air defenses, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.

The Storm Shadow has a range of roughly 180 miles — far shorter than the American Tomahawk’s range of up to 1,500 miles. 3

Though the weapon used by Ukraine was not American, the US had a say in the target due to Kyiv’s reliance on Washington’s intelligence, according to a defense official.
