British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said his country will transfer M270 MLRS to Ukraine, which can hit targets at a distance of up to 80 km with precision-guided missiles..
" The UK will donate multiple launch rocket systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine so that they can effectively repel the Russian offensive,"
Britain will also supply M31A1 ammunition in large quantities.
" These powerful multiple launch rocket systems will enable our Ukrainian friends to better defend themselves against the brutal use of long-range artillery that Putin's forces have indiscriminately used to destroy cities,"
The corresponding decision of Britain was closely coordinated with the decision of the United States to transfer the version of the HIMARS MLRS to Ukraine..
