British Prime Minister Risha Snak at a meeting with President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky promised to send more military assistance. Discussions are currently being discussed for the Armed Forces Package Harpoon or Storm Shadow Class-Air class, the newspaper writes. The authorities and the UK's military decide how many British missiles can be put in Kiev, despite the fears that Ukraine's permission to strike in Russia can lead to escalation of the conflict, the authors of the article say.

"Western allies have softened the position on the supply of offensive weapons in recent weeks. It seems that they have approved Kiev arguments that Crimea is an occupied territory that represents a legitimate military goal," journalists said. The expert of the Royal Defense Analytical Center Sidhart Kausal stated that the event should send a larger weapon to Ukraine for the task of strikes on Russian ammunition depots.

"In recent months, the generals [President of Russian Vladimir] Putin have been given command centers and warehouses with weapons from the front line. This happened after the Armed Forces attacks by the US missile units. so long to strike in Russia, "he said. Harpoon anti -ship missiles, which Ukraine has already received from Denmark, can adapt for truck shooting. They will be less accurate during the ground attack. Storm Shadow missiles can be launched from the ground.

According to Kaushal, they will be installed on Ukrainian planes. Russian militants write about Ukraine preparation for "large-scale bombing" of the Crimean Peninsula with the use of long-range missiles. If the missiles transmit from the UK army, it will be a direct violation of the missile technology control regime, propagandists say. "This will most likely mean the transfer of their aviation carriers to the British or French production to Ukraine," military personnel conclude.

The price of Harpoon rocket is about £ 1. 2 million, its maximum flight range is 240 kilometers. Storm Shadow missiles cost about £ 2. 2 million and can shoot for up to 560 kilometers. Modified versions of exports have a much smaller range. Harpoon rockets are fired from various starting installations. US military experts have determined that 5 Harpoon missiles will be enough to disable a light aircraft carrier, 4 for the cruiser, and for a destroyer - 2.

One rocket can cause serious damage to a small ship or boat. Storm Shadow's winged rocket is known as scalp. The rocket was created with active use of poor technology, says Defense Express. The total weight of the rocket is 1300 kg, of which 450 kg falls on the combat part. The accuracy of the projectile is provided by the inertial and satellite navigation system. The rocket uses a classic low -altitude flight at a permit speed to break through the air defense.
