Ukraine gets British anti-tank missiles (VIDEO)

Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Petrenko said the new weapons “will be used exclusively for defense purposes,” to protect troops and civilians against “any actions that could lead to escalation.” Petrenko thanked London for the shipment.

Ukrainian media reported that the shipment contained shoulder-fired missile systems known as the NLAW. They are designed to destroy main battle tanks and other armored vehicles, and were jointly developed by Sweden and the UK.

Ukraine has become increasingly reliant on military assistance from the West in recent years. In 2021, Kiev received 30 Javelin anti-tank missile systems from Washington.
