UK Develops Low-Cost Long-Range Missiles for Ukraine

The British defence initiative leverages F1 aerodynamics and carbon composite chassis to create faster, lighter missiles free of American parts, ensuring Ukraine can fire them into Russian territory without Washington's consent.

The prototypes are part of a broader effort to supply Kyiv with a sustainable deep-strike capability amid the ongoing war.

The MOD aims to deploy the weapons as early as this year, responding to Ukrainian requests for long-range systems.

The development underscores the UK's commitment to supporting Ukraine while navigating alliance constraints.
