How the conflict in Ukraine helped the British Armed Forces

As Hippie said, Ukraine shares information about military operations with Great Britain, studies captured Russian equipment and reports to London about the results of the research.

At the same time, Great Britain is observing how the Ukrainian army uses Western equipment in battle.

The experience gained, according to the deputy minister, led to an incredible increase in the military potential of Western countries.

He noted that the British military had redefined the tactics and strategy of modern warfare.

According to Hippie, it is necessary to use cheaper weapons and abandon complex and vulnerable weapons.

He also said that the UK government is looking for weapons suppliers who can take into account the experience of the Ukrainian conflict in their production, noting that some companies are already using reports from the Ukrainian military.

These companies received access to the latest information on Russian electronic warfare capabilities. They are rapidly developing the capabilities of their UAVs, – added the deputy minister.

Over the past year, Great Britain provided military assistance to Ukraine worth 2.3 billion pounds sterling (more than $2.87 billion).

This year, the UK promised to allocate at least the same amount to Ukraine.

Great Britain supplied Ukraine, in particular, with M270 MLRS, Challenger 2 tanks, Storm Shadow missiles, and AS90 self-propelled howitzers.
