Britain has tested new long-range weapons that could soon be delivered to Ukraine to allow Kyiv to strike Moscow.
New systems that can attack targets more than 300 miles away have been tested at a range in the Hebrides, with further trials taking place in the UK over the coming months.
The experimental platforms, each carrying a 250kg warhead, could potentially reach Moscow, which came under intense Ukrainian drone bombardment earlier this week.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) challenged firms to build long-range strike weapons that can fly at more than 370mph, cost about £400,000 each and can be built at a pace of 20 a month.
Some 27 bids from industry were made with Dragon’s Den-style pitches held last February, before six UK companies were awarded contracts worth around £5m each to design prototypes for testing in just seven months.
By last December, only three suppliers remained: MBDA UK, which makes the Storm Shadow stealth missile, MGI Engineering, a UK small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) with a background in Formula 1 technology, and Rotron Aerospace, another UK SME with a history of working with the MoD.

It is understood that the Hebrides launches saw all systems fire despite some minor technical hiccups, which were to be expected as part of the “fail fast” approach to the project, and which firms will now work to iron out before further trials.
The second phase of so-called Project Brakestop is now under way, with companies awarded follow-on contracts worth around £15m for further development. British officials hope to deliver the first of the new systems to Kyiv within a year.
Louise Sandher-Jones, the new Armed Forces minister, said the weapons would “complement” others, such as Storm Shadow missiles, which allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russia but carry a higher cost.
“The UK stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine, and we will continue to provide the support it needs to defend itself against Russian aggression,” she added.
“Project Brakestop shows what happens when we combine that commitment with the talent and ingenuity of British industry. In less than a year, UK companies have taken an ambitious concept from the drawing board to flight testing, delivering a new generation of capability at remarkable speed.”
Western officials say Kyiv’s battlefield performance has improved significantly in recent months, with Ukrainian drones pinning down Russian troops on the front line.
Ukrainian forces launched nearly 200 drones at Moscow on Thursday, about 310 miles from the Ukraine-Russia border. It was the third consecutive day of attacks, which saw more than 1,000 drones fired at Russia in total.
Russia pledged to retaliate, with Sergei Lavrov, the foreign minister, warning Kyiv that “massive group strikes” would now be carried out “on a regular basis” against Ukraine.
Between late Thursday and early Friday, the Kremlin launched 90 drones at Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian air force, reportedly killing three people, including an eight-year-old girl.
A separate Russian attack on Ukraine’s southern Odesa region killed one person, while strikes on the eastern city of Kramatorsk killed one other, according to authorities.
G7 leaders promised Ukraine more air defence capabilities earlier this week, without specifying what type of weapons. Britain pledged to deliver 150,000 drones this year.
If Puttin had any sense he’d ‘Sarmat’ pUKe Kay and wipe it off the fece off the earth..
“Tom Cotterill” seems to have “forgotten” the rape gangs. queer starmer’s “legacy” is rape and murder. And he’s very very proud of it.
Whenever commies are being bombed its a good day.
Never forget that the carbon (((they))) want to reduce is YOU.
Yes JEWK GO ON with jour jew deepstate MI6 etc !
GO ON DIGGING YOUR GRAVE !
LONDON BRIDGE IS TUMBELING DOWN .
britain no more rules the waves .
Frankly, it doesn’t look good for the Russian Federation. Putin has lost the sense of urgency intrinsic to every existential war. Strike first, strike hard, give the enemy hell when possible, and don’t let the enemy regroup, resupply, rest or breathe. War must be conducted in a hurry all the time, a run for the finish line. Whilst the Jewish clown is fighting with his gloves off long ago, Moscow is not fighting a war but administering a ‘Special Military Operation.’
The Jew has managed to infiltrate active combatants inside Russian territory, they have inflicted significant pain. Notice these drones are not launched from Ukraine. They don’t have the necessary range to strike deep inside Russia. Instead the drone swarm comes from the target’s proximity, launched by infantry. Satan’s Synagogue opened up a second front for Putin to handle. They swapped the game, they are using Russia’s vast territory to the attacker’s advantage. It has nothing to do with civil war, this is behind the lines guerrilla warfare with partisan combatants moved by ideology, money or both. In a time of Mammon worship we can expect mercenary partisans popping up everywhere the Jew needs. Do you see where this is headed? Whether Moscow changes strategy or the bear will bleed white, sooner or later.
Russian Federation is screwed on many levels, they need to learn with Hitler’s mistakes. You can’t fight a war with the Jew while taking some ‘good Jews’ in your ranks. The ‘good Jews’ bring with them spies, saboteurs, informers, double-agents, assassins. Jews must be banned from the state altogether for security reasons. Americans demonstrated unfair but effective solution with internment camps for citizens of Japanese descent. Russians can’t do that because they are terrified of being called Nazis, though Jews have been banned many times before, for good reason.
To fight the Jew one must not play ball with Jewish finance. Only two guys in the modern era got free from Jewish financial supremacy: Lincoln and Hitler. JFK tried but was short-lived, unfortunately. One cannot fight Jewish magical finance with work (real finance). In order to put the conflict in arms parity Russia, or any other would-be sovereign nation for that matter, has to make use o magical finance too. Lincoln created his ‘greenbacks’ directly from Treasure, free from fraudulent debt-for-the-Jew certificates. In other words: debt-free unlimited money for the state to finance itself – a necessity in wartime.
Peak 21st century perfidious Albion.

Yes . and the ukrainian agents on russian
territory have the advantage to speak perfect
russian + look like russian . big problem for
Russia . reason also why ukraine spies are
able to find out living adresses of theirtargets
to assassine them . they are roaming freely in
russian territory from Wladivostok to Minsk .
