Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Britain on Sunday announced it was developing a new ground-launched tactical missile with a range of more than 300 miles to bolster Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion.
Under Project Nightfall, London seeks to provide Ukraine with what London is describing as "a powerful, cost-effective long-range strike option, with minimal foreign export controls."
According to Britain's Ministry of Defense, the missiles will be capable of being launched from a range of vehicles in rapid succession in high-threat battlefields with heavy electromagnetic interference.
The missiles will give Ukraine the ability to rapidly hit key military targets and withdraw within minutes before Russia can retaliate, it said.
