The UK intends to transfer advanced weapons to Ukraine in the form of powerful Nightfall long-range ballistic missiles capable of hitting Russian targets at a distance of over 300 miles, according to the Daily Mail.
“Nightfall missiles are equipped with warheads weighing about 200 kg, can be launched in series, and have a range that allows them to reach Moscow, among other targets. The UK Ministry of Defense is currently looking for British companies to develop, build, and supply the first three test missiles as part of a £9 million contract,” the report says.
The announcement of the Nightfall project coincided with the defense minister’s announcement of the UK’s plans to spend GBP 200 million.
As reported, The Independent, citing British Defense Minister John Gilli, said that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland would spend GBP 200 million to prepare British troops for deployment in Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire with Russia.
