UK to complete delivery of 1,000 more surface-to-air missiles to Ukraine

The assistance seeks to protect Ukraine’s key infrastructure from Russian attacks.

UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has confirmed that the country will soon conclude the supply of 1,000 more surface-to-air missiles to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The military assistance seeks to strengthen the Ukrainian troops’ air defence capabilities to shield their key infrastructure from Russian attacks.

Featuring launchers and missiles, the equipment can eliminate air targets, including drones and cruise missiles.

According to the UK Ministry of Defence, the missiles can function in combination with the Ukrainians’ existing capabilities.
