Ukrinform<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThe Prime Minister has also announced that they UK will deliver a new mobile air defence capability to Ukraine this year. Gravehawk, a UK designed air defence system, has been rapidly developed to meet Ukrainian needs on the battlefield,\u201d the statement says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project has been jointly funded by the UK and Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is noted that the innovative system, which is the size of a shipping container, is able to retrofit air-air missiles for ground-based air defence, meaning it can use Ukrainian missiles already in the Armed Forces\u2019 possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith Ukraine under constant Russian bombardment, the Gravehawk system will boost Ukraine\u2019s air defences, allowing them to defend their cities, troops and critical infrastructure,\u201d the statement says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also noted that two prototypes of the air defence capability system were tested in Ukraine in September, and \u201ca further 15 will follow this year\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Ukrinform reported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a 100-year partnership agreement in Kyiv on January 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
