"We are protecting": The Armed Forces will use British missiles for strikes in the captured Crimea - the media

Journalists write that Ukraine can convert the Harpoon anti -ship missiles to defeat land purposes. They can affect the targets at a distance of 240 km. Ukraine is ready to use British long -range British missiles to defeat goals in occupied Crimea. About it writes the edition of The Times with reference to its sources to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky met with European parliamentarians in Brussels, where he again demanded NATO sample fighters.

"We are defending ourselves from the anti -European power of the modern world," the President said. Journalists write that Harpoon missiles cost about £ 1. 2 million each. They have a maximum flight range of about 240 km. But Storm Shadow missiles cost about £ 2. 2 million and can shoot for up to 560 kilometers, although modified export versions have a much smaller range.

The material states that negotiations are currently underway to decide how many British long -range missiles can be sent to Ukraine, despite its former fears that it can lead to escalation of conflict. Sidhart Kausal from the Royal Defense Analytical Center stated that the event should be given to Ukraine with weapons of greater range in order to continue to strike the Russian ammunition.

He added that Harpoon's anti -ship missiles, which have already been transmitted to Ukraine by Denmark and used to sunk the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of Moscow, can be adapted for firing from trucks, although they will be less accurate during ground attack. But Storm Shadow can also be launched from the ground, but more likely they will be installed on Ukrainian aircraft. Earlier, Focus wrote that experts named four major problems that Ukraine would face upon receipt of Western aircraft.
