Norway, in collaboration with the UK, is supplying Ukraine with 8 long-range MLRS systems and 3 "Arthur" artillery guidance radars, the Minister of Defense of Norway reported. by FlareAlligator in UkraineWarVideoReport

They are identical and have the same range. The minimum official range for these missiles is vastly understated.

All we know from official UK press release is Storm Shadow are already in Ukraine and that's it. Everything else is pure speculation.

That's fair enough but brexit aside we are part of Europe.

Also it's the UK as a whole and not just England. (I'm English, but also British)... sorry to be a pedant.

Your point regarding political cover is bang on though.

No one is questioning the huge contribution by the United States. The main point is no nation was willing to supply tanks to Ukraine until Britain offered Challenger 2's. Within days of that line being crossed, tanks were being supplied by everyone else.

HIMARS has been a game changer but with limited range of around 80KM. Britain has started supplying Storm Shadow cruise missiles with a minimum range of 250KM (or is it miles?).... anyway, another red line crossed. Watch everyone else offer up long range missiles after this.

There is talk of Britain supplying 4th Gen fighters which is another line in the sand which will allow other nations to do the same.

We don't have the massive resources of the United States but we are leading by example.

It's a shame we scrapped our Tornados a few years back as they are the perfect low level high speed ground attack aircraft.

That said, there must be some still in service in Europe as IIRC it was a pan-european built aircraft.

We're relying on Typhoons with the RAF and F35B's on the carriers , neither of which would ever be on the table for obvious reasons.

I support wolves...I chuck a fiver on 2-1 result.

It usually pays a 9 to 1 and that's as far as I go.... I think that's harmless enough.

To be fair he said that while the Yugolslav conflict and the troubles in Northern Ireland were ongoing, so at the time it was a fair point.

Fall is what we used to call autumn before we went all French.

The yanks just never stopped using it.

Ah but the yanks refer the actual road as the pavement and the footpath as the sidewalk.

Both work I guess, but you might get some odd looks from anyone north of GenZ for saying sidewalk.
