Britain is considering donating Starstreak high velocity anti-air missiles to Ukraine to help the country defend its skies, Ben Wallace has announced.
The defence secretary also told MPs the latest UK military intelligence showed that Moscow had only been successful in one of its main military objectives since the invasion began 14 days ago.
While he described the situation in Ukraine as “grave”, he insisted the Kremlin had failed in its mission of targeting air defence, “preventing total air dominance”…
… According to arms manufacturer Thales, the Starkstreak high-velocity anti-air missiles were designed to “provide close air defence against conventional air threats such as fixed wing fighters and late unmasking helicopter targets”.
They are capable of being launched from “lightweight land, sea and air platforms”.
