Following the Defence Secretary's statement that the government is exploring providing man portable anti-air missiles to Ukraine, James raised the importance and challenges of providing training so this capability can be used to defend Ukraine.
In a statement to the House of Commons, the Defence Secretary announced that the UK has so far provided 3,615 New Light Anti-tank Weapons (NLAW), and continues to deliver more, and will shortly start the delivery of a small consignment of anti-tank javelin missiles too. He further announced that the government had taken the decision to explore the donation of Starstreak high velocity man portable anti-air missiles. The government considers this system will remain within the definition of defensive weapons and allow the Ukrainian forces to better defend their skies.
More details on Starstreak is available here.
