UK gave Ukraine over 4,000 anti-tank missile systems - MoD

The UK has provided Ukrainian forces with more than 4,000 anti-tank missile systems to help with "their resistance against Russian aggression", Qazet.az reports according to the Ministry of Defence says.

In a series of tweets, the ministry says the devices sent were NLAWs (Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapons).

The ministry also refers to a video it describes as "Russian propaganda". It appears to be referring to footage published by two prominent Russian hoaxers who asked UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace about an alleged nuclear weapons programme for Ukraine, and who appeared to suggest the UK was running low on anti-tank weapons.
