Britain will supply Ukraine with anti-aircraft missiles.

STARStreak high-velocity, man-portable, anti-air missiles

 Britain plans to provide anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine to help protect its skies from Russian aerial attacks, stated British Defense Minister Ben Wallace, reported Reuters. He told British lawmakers that it was crucial for Ukraine to maintain its ability to fly and suppress Russian airstrikes. “In response to Ukrainian requests, the government has decided to explore the donation of STARStreak high-velocity, man-portable, anti-air missiles. We believe that this system will remain within the definition of defensive weapons but will allow the Ukrainian force to defend their skies better,” said Wallace. The British government is working on how to deliver them to Ukraine and teach Ukrainian forces how to use them.
