Britain tests new long-range strike weapons for Ukraine
Stay up to date with notifications from The IndependentNotifications can be managed in browser preferences.AllNewsSportCultureLifestyleBritain has successfully tested new long-range strike weapons, with the government aiming for delivery to Ukraine within months. The Ministry of Defence challenged UK firms to develop these munitions, which are designed to be more affordable and quicker to produce than existing systems like Storm Shadow. These new weapons are capable of hitting targets at least 500km away, carrying a 225kg warhead, and travelling at speeds exceeding 600km per hour. Trials for 'Project Brakestop' took place in the Hebrides, involving three remaining suppliers: MBDA UK, MGI Engineering, and Rotron Aerospace. Armed Forces Minister Louise Sandher-Jones highlighted the project's importance for developing sovereign defence capabilities, independent of US International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
