The Brimstone missiles the UK will be sending have been in service with the RAF since 2005 and used extensively in Afghanistan.

They can be modified to target ships.

Such missiles will most likely be used to help defend Odesa, a major Ukrainian port city.

Each missile costs around £175,000.

They can hit targets by tracking a laser fired by troops, aircraft or vehicles, or select its own target from a pre-programmed list through the use of an extremely high frequency millimetric wave radar.

This helps the targeting system select the most important targets, as well as avoiding civilian ones.

James Heappey, the armed forces minister, said the Brimstone missiles would be sent to Ukraine in the "next few weeks".

Ukraine and Russia should work on a way to end this war.

The war should have been avoided sef

It will take a lot of years before the two countries recover.

She will recover just like most countries did after WWII. The most important thing at this time is her independence.

ukraine will come out of this war as one of Europe’ military power and maybe a large exporter of military armament; it’s same privilege that brought Russia to where It is today
