United Kingdom To Provide Ukraine with 150,000 Drones and LMM Missiles

The United Kingdom will provide Ukraine with a new package of military aid worth approximately €865 million.

The official announcement regarding the allocation of military equipment was made by UK Defense Minister Dan Jarvis, according to the country’s government website.

This financial support is being allocated from the Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) loan totaling approximately €2.6 billion, which is funded by proceeds from frozen Russian assets.

As part of the package, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will receive 150,000 Ukrainian-made drones. Deliveries of this number of drones are scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.

By the end of 2026, the British side also plans to transfer more than 350 anti-aircraft missiles and radars, including Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMM).

Belgium also plans to transfer seven F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine by the end of 2026 as part of its military aid.

According to Belgian officials, four of the aircraft will be used as a source of spare parts, while three are intended for combat missions as part of the Ukrainian Air Force.
