Military aid to Ukraine from Great Britain
Great Britain sent to Ukraine an improved model of a high-tech missile with a
Brimstone 2

Brimstone 2 missiles are usually launched from fighter jets, but the Ukrainian military uses modified trucks as a launch platform.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, during a recent visit to Kyiv, announced a
new package of military anti-aircraft aid
, which will include 120 special anti-aircraft guns and anti-drone equipment.
Next year, Great Britain will hand over to the Ukrainian military
