  1. **From The Telegraph:**

    Britain has sent dozens more Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine since Sir Keir Starmer became Prime Minister in July, according to sources.

    The long-range weapons were sent to Kyiv before Joe Biden gave permission for Western missiles to be fired into Russia, the Telegraph understands. 

    The decision came as Kyiv’s stockpiles ran short, the sources said. 

    The Ministry of Defence declined to comment on exactly when or how many missiles were sent to Ukraine.

    Ukraine fired Storm Shadow missiles into Russia last week for the first time, sparking threats from Vladimir Putin to strike Britain with Russia’s new intermediate range ballistic missile. 

    Storm Shadows have a range of 155 miles and are considered highly accurate.

    Each air-launched missile costs roughly £2 million. The Government has not revealed how many it has given to Ukraine since the start of the war.

  2. Good. Could do more, but this is still very good.

  3. Dozens more somehow sounds less than if you said tens more. Idk why.

  4. My second favourite headline, right behind “Ukraine sends dozens more storm shadows to russia”

  5. It’s time for wartime production damnit. What the hell are we doing

  6. God bless the UK, and thank you to the British people. Feel bad thinking that the US has no balls anymore

  7. That’s dozens, plural. At least 24. Hopefully a lot more. Good stuff.

  8. Let’s face it Europe and United States. They need about 3-5,000 such weapons. Now we need to find a way to make it possible.

    Russians are fielding a murdering raping horde of mindless beasts to Ukraine. North Koreans Yemen Houthi and mercenaries.

    Russian NK and Iranian factories are in overdrive. It’s now or never. Get your head out of the sand and get serious about victory before it’s too late

  9. Good, but didn’t Russia use 85 Kalibr missiles in just one of those recent attacks? that was part of one volley.

    To get anything resembling symmetric war, Ukraine would need orders of magnitude more.

  10. We will support ukraine to the end 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦

  11. I live under the flight path of RAF flights from Brize Norton as they head east over Germany. Even at 30,000ft the high pitch buzz of the A400M is unmistakable. They’ve been flying weekly for several months.

    I also live about 30 minutes from the plant where Storm Shadows are manufactured. Seems they’ve all been busy of late.

  12. Ukraine lacks man power… we can continue this game of sending only aid when the problem is another one, troops should be sent to establish a red line… 🤦‍♂️
