Since February 2022, the UK has provided over 1,800 air defence missiles of various types to Ukraine, including High Velocity Missile (HVM) Starstreak, Martlet Lightweight Multi-Role Missile (LMM), Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missiles (ASRAAM) and Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM). The UK has also provided hundreds of air defence systems such as Stormer, as well as electronic warfare systems.

In addition, the UK led International Fund for Ukraine, has provided over 600 Air Defence systems including radars, electronic warfare systems and counter-uncrewed aerial systems.

This government is steadfast in our commitment to support Ukraine for as long as it takes. On 10 July 2024 the Prime Minister announced that the UK will provide Ukraine with £3 billion a year of military support for as long as it is needed.
