UK will give Ukraine anti-aircraft guns

LONDON, 26 April 2022, (TON): The UK will transfer Stormer self-propelled anti-aircraft guns equipped with Starstreak missiles to Ukraine. This was officially announced, speaking in the House of Commons, the head of the Ministry of Defense of the kingdom, Ben Wallace.

The minister said “as Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced, £100 million [$130 million] worth of first-class military equipment will be delivered, including 120 armored vehicles, anti-ship missiles and high-tech loitering munitions for precision strikes.”

He said “but as we see from what Ukraine is asking us to do, more needs to be done.”

The head of the defense department said “so now I can announce before the Chamber that we will donate to Ukraine a small number of military vehicles with launchers for these anti-aircraft missiles. Machines Stormer will increase the potential of Ukrainian troops in the fight against air targets at short distances both in the daytime and at night.”
