Britain will send a small number of Stormer armored vehicles equipped with anti-aircraft missile launchers to Ukraine, Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said on Monday.
Wallace added that British assessments showed around 15,000 Russians were killed in the conflict, while 2,000 armored vehicles, including around 530 tanks, were destroyed, along with 60 helicopters and fighter jets.
“I can now announce to the House that we will be giving a small number of armored vehicles equipped with launchers for these anti-aircraft missiles,” he said.
Russian losses
Also on Monday, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said around 15,000 Russian soldiers had been killed in Ukraine since the invasion began, according to British assessments.
Russia’s official casualty figures, however, are much lower than the UK estimate.
In the most recent update on March 25, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed 1,351 of its servicemen were dead in the war and 3,825 wounded.
