The UK government's website shared the information.According to the ministry, these missiles, manufactured by Thales in Belfast, have been helping the Ukrainian army defend its airspace since the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion. This delivery is part of a large-scale military support program for Ukraine, under which London has allocated £4.5 billion this year — a record amount for British aid to a foreign country.The government also added that a UK trade delegation visited Kyiv this week to strengthen military support for Ukraine."It was an honour to lead this trade delegation to Kyiv, and to see so many other countries participating in the event. Driving industrial partnerships is essential so that we can learn from their expertise and together build the industrial base we need to defend the UK, deter our adversaries and support Ukraine," said Minister for Defense Readiness and Industry, Luke Pollard.
