Britain has announced it will send 650 air defense missiles to Ukraine, valued at £162 million ($213.13 million), to bolster the country’s defenses against Russian attacks. The decision was made public on September 6, 2024, during a meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group, which British Defence Minister John Healey attended at a U.S. air base in Germany. This support follows Russia's largest air assault on Ukraine since the start of the conflict in early 2022. The new missiles are intended to protect Ukraine from increased drone and missile strikes. Ukraine has repeatedly sought enhanced air defense capabilities amid ongoing aggression.
