Kyiv.Ukraine.Ukraine Gate –October 30,2021- The new Brimstone Sea Spear missile, developed by the defense company MBDA, can be supplied to Ukraine for use by the armed forces.
This is according to the Department of Military Technical Policy, Armament Development, and Military Equipment of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The agency said: “The British company MBDA is developing a new missile, the Brimstone Sea Spear, which may be delivered in the future including to Ukraine to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”
As previously reported, The Times, citing a Ukrainian diplomat, reported that Britain was in talks with Ukraine to sell arms amid fears that the Russian Federation could take advantage of the current gas crisis in Europe to seize more Ukrainian territory.
In particular, it was about the sale of surface-to-surface missiles developed by MBDA UK, capable of hitting multiple targets simultaneously and carried by warships currently in service with the Ukrainian Navy.
On October 15, Ukraine’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Vadym Prystaiko, told one of the Ukrainian TV channels that half of the funds from a GBP 2.5 billion ($2.7 billion) loan the UK provided to Ukraine will go to strengthen the Ukrainian naval fleet. In addition, Ukraine will purchase two minesweepers, missile weapons, and modern technology to protect its coastline. It is also planned to build two naval bases on the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
