Britain plans to send 600 Brimstone missiles to Ukraine to support the country in its fight against Russia, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said on Thursday.
Wallace was meeting with other defence ministers at the Tapa army base in Estonia.
He outlined a previously-announced package of military support for Ukraine, including sending Challenger tanks, and added detail on the types of missiles Britain would supply.
“I can say we’re also going to send another 600 Brimstone missiles into theatre which will be incredibly important in helping Ukraine dominate the battlefield,” he said.
Wallace also said Western unity against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion remained strong and that allies were “in it for the long haul”.
“If President Putin is banking on us getting bored this year, he’s wrong. We will plan for this year and next year and the year after and beyond,” he said.
‘A whole new level’ of war if NATO arms Ukraine, Russia warns
Al Jazeera – Jan 19, 2023
Russia is warning of an “extremely dangerous” escalation if NATO deploys heavy weapons such as battle tanks and long-range missile systems to Ukraine.
The cautionary statement from the Kremlin on Thursday came before a key donor meeting as Western countries consider sending more powerful military equipment to Ukraine with Russian forces intensifying attacks to secure territory.
Germany, in particular, has faced mounting pressure to supply tanks to Kyiv and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has aired frustration about not obtaining enough heavy weaponry.
Since the United Kingdom announced last week it will send Challenger 2 tanks, Berlin has faced increasing pressure to supply its Leopard 2 tanks or at least clear the way for others, such as Poland, to deliver the German-made equipment from their own stock.
The Kremlin pressed the West not to give Ukraine heavy weapons capable of striking Russian forces and territory.
“Potentially, this is extremely dangerous. It will mean bringing the conflict to a whole new level which, of course, will not bode well from the point of view of global and pan-European security,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
‘We will destroy it’
On Friday, the United States will gather its allies at its airbase in Ramstein, Germany for a new round of talks on backing Ukraine militarily.
US defence chief Lloyd Austin will host the coordination meeting. He said “we’ll renew our united commitment to support Ukraine’s self-defence for the long haul” – but did not mention specific new equipment.
Western partners fear Ukraine could use long-range weapons to hit deep inside Russian territory or Crimea – a peninsula Moscow annexed in 2014 – despite Kyiv promising it would not do so.
Peskov spoke after Moscow’s ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, said Russia would retaliate if Ukraine uses Western-supplied weapons to target Russia or the Crimea Peninsula.
Just when you think the UK Pomgolians can’t get any more stupid…
They can’t accept loss…they have no reverse gear…it’s baffling and mind blowing in it’s arrogance and recklessness.
UK doing everything it can to start WW3
The use of western tanks is only actually as useful as the means to service them so they’re a provocation that offers little gain. Small anti-tank weapons to disable the tracks and the tank is over as a weapon of war, but once it’s disabled it must still be destroyed because of its stock of shells and bullets.
Their deployment endangers the crews who face slaughter while not affecting the overall war. This smacks of desperation by the west and suggests they intend to stay in the fight until they can do something drastic.
They just can’t help themselves…
THICK Brits just BEGGING to be OBLITERATED! 😂
If the missile is called that, it won’t help to stop Putin calling us Satanic. Some of Russia’s are called Satan, but that is a nick-name we gave them
…and just when you thought Brits couldn’t possibly get any THICKER!😂
What else would we expect from satanists.
What most dummies’ don’t get, is that this is a coordinated MASONIC operation to wipe s many white men as possible. ALL parties to these events are masons, only an idiot will fail to se this. The enemy is not a polarized factor, its is the grand lodges through out Europe, US and Russia, with its masters at Switzerland. Look up: the Swiss beast, on Rumble, it will help.
Get the head out, people.
@ Randolph Bang on mate!
