In western Ukraine, some 1,100 train wagons carrying grain are stuck near the main rail border crossing with Poland, unable to transport their cargo abroad.

With war raging along the country’s southern coast, and its main ports blocked off by Russia’s invasion, Ukraine is struggling to export its grain and other goods, according to government officials.

STARSTREAK MISSILES.

Starstreak is a laser-guided missile that travels more than three times the speed of sound to take down low-flying enemy jets and attack helicopters. Before this, Britain provided thousands of anti-tank missiles which have helped slow the Russian advance on Ukraine’s capital.

One of the largest anti-aircraft missiles ever developed, the SAM-5 has either a conventional or nuclear warhead, a maximum speed of Mach 4, a range of 155 miles, and a ceiling of 100,000 feet.

STARStreak is a short-range, man-portable, air-defence system manufactured by Thales in the UK and is optimised to provide defence against air threats including fixed-wing Fighter Ground Attack aircraft and late unmasking Attack Helicopters. Depending on customer requirements, it can be configured in both man-portable and vehicle-mounted battlefield roles and is the fastest missile of its type in the world, highly accurate and resistant to countermeasures.

 

STARStreak multi-mission remote weapon systems can be mounted on armoured or protected mobility vehicles to support Divisional, Brigade and Battlegroup level manoeuvre or can be deployed in both Shoulder-Launched (SL) and Lightweight Multiple Launcher (LML) configurations that are suitable for use in the light-role, including for Air Assault and Commando forces. A proven in-service missile, STARStreak first saw active service during the Iraq conflict in 2003 and over the last 19 years it has been deployed on multiple operations by the UK and Global users.
