Britain will provide Ukraine with hundreds of air defence missiles and further unmanned aerial systems, including long-range attack drones
met Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the British leader’s Chequers country residence, where the pair also discussed Ukraine’s request for Western fighter jets.
Sunak said Britain would provide Ukraine with hundreds of air defence missiles and further unmanned aerial systems, including new long-range attack drones with a range of more than 200 km, to be delivered “over the coming months”.“The Ukrainians made the decision to train their pilots on F-16s and you will know the RAF don’t use those,” he said.
Zelensky won additional pledges of tanks, armoured vehicles and other weapons in recent days from Germany and France. Last week, London announced it was sending Ukraine its air-launched Storm Shadow cruise missiles, with a far longer range than Western weapons sent previously, breaking a taboo against arms that can strike deep behind Russian lines.
