The United Kingdom has delivered more than 12,000 anti-tank weapons to Ukraine as part of military aid since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. This information was disclosed by Luke Pollard, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence, in answer to a query from James Cartlidge, Conservative MP for South Suffolk. The UK Defense Journal reported on this.

However, the UK Ministry of Defence did not disclose details of what exactly is meant by the term “anti-tank weapons.” Pollard also emphasized Britain’s desire to cooperate with international allies to support Ukraine. In the UK, NLAW, Javelin ATGMs, and Brimstone missiles are considered anti-tank weapons. Since 2022, Ukraine has received all these types of weapons from various UK governments. In July, it was announced that the United Kingdom would provide Ukraine with a batch of Brimstone guided missiles as part of a new military aid package. These missiles have been used by the Ukrainian Defense Forces since 2022. Ukraine uses them from mobile ground launchers, as they do not have the appropriate carriers.
