UK to send US-made rocket systems to Ukraine

LONDON, 03 June 2022, (TON): Britain says “it will send sophisticated medium-range rocket systems to Ukraine, in a move coordinated with the United States.”

Defense Secretary Ben Wallace says the UK will send an unspecified number of M270 launchers, which can send precision-guided rockets up to 80 kilometers.

Britain says “the decision has been coordinated closely with a US decision to send Ukraine High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems.”

The two missile systems are similar, though the American one has wheels while the British one also US-built runs on tracks.
