The United Kingdom is supplying Ukraine with a small number of Stormer armored personnel carriers equipped with Starstreak anti-aircraft missile launchers to boost the country’s air defenses, stated Defense Minister Ben Wallace. The Stormer has an eight-charge launcher on the roof and space inside to accommodate eight more missiles. These missiles can shoot down enemy planes and helicopters flying at low altitudes. According to Wallace, Starstreak MANPADS have already been deployed and been in use in Ukraine for the past three weeks.
