Britain will supply Ukraine with armored Mastiff-type vehicles and Jakal reconnaissance patrol vehicles. But these are not all the surprises for the occupiers.
This is reported by Reuters.
Earlier, the British Ministry of Defense considered options for sending Mastiff and Chakal armored vehicles to Ukraine. The main task of the vehicles is reconnaissance and patrol activities.
The weekly added that the UK will announce the dispatch of anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine in the next few days.
It also became known that the U.S. has already sent 100 Switchblade kamikaze drones to Ukraine. This was announced by the speaker of the Pentagon John Kirby.
It is noted that the so-called kamikaze drones are small, portable, they have warheads and explode on impact. The smallest model can hit a target up to six miles (about 9.6 km) away.
At the moment, according to many experts, the AFU badly needs heavy weapons and after seeing the Russian occupiers' atrocities in Bucha, European countries have agreed to supply them to Ukraine.
Minister of Defense of Germany Christine Lambrecht authorized the delivery of 58 units of armored vehicles of "PbV-501" type, left from the GDR period, to the Ukrainian army.
The Czech Republic transferred free of charge unmodernized Soviet-era T-72 tanks, which were in the reserves. BMP vehicles will also be handed over for the needs of the Ukrainian army.
NATO countries will also additionally provide Ukraine with Javelin anti-tank missile systems, next generation light anti-tank weapons (NLAW), Stinger missiles and TB2 drones.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking before the Norwegian parliament, asked for mobile air defense missile systems NASAMS and anti-ship Garpoon missiles.
