UK to send Ukraine powerful new rocket launchers

A top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the UK has agreed to supply the M270 multiple-rocket system to Ukraine, seen as a military game-changer, Qazet.az reports.

"The M270 long-range rocket systems that Ukraine will receive from Britain, together with the American HIMARS, will significantly strengthen our armed forces. We are grateful to the allies for them," presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak said.

"We persistently explain to our allies why weapons for Ukraine today can not only help liberate all our territories but also prevent many threats to the West. And it works," he wrote on the Telegram messaging service.

It is not yet clear how many M270 systems the UK will send.
