The UK has sent 3,615 NLAW anti-tank weapons to Ukraine to help it fight Vladimir Putin.
A soldier from the Sumy region speaks to the camera as he stands amid the wreckage of a Russian tank.
He said: “We achieved it through gifts from Your Majesty Queen.
“Give us more toys like this and more tanks will be destroyed.
“Civilians also ask for them but we can’t give NLAW to every Ukrainian, even though we want to.”
Another soldier added: “This was shot from this beautiful thing. And I would like to express my deep gratitude to the British comrades who have helped us”.
He is also planning to send Ukraine fastest surface-to-air missile In the world.
Defense Secretary Ben Wallace told MPs that the Starstreak high-speed mobile missile would be delivered to help shoot down a Russian military plane.
Traveling at three times the speed of sound, each split into three darts to pierce armor before the warhead explodes.
The Belfast-made missile can be carried on the shoulder or mounted on a vehicle.
“This system will still fall within the definition of a defensive weapon but will allow it,” Mr. Wallace said Ukrainian forces to better protect their skies. “
He added that “small shipments” of Javelin anti-tank missiles will be supplied to Ukraine.
This longer range missile can hit targets 2.5 km away.
And the NLAW anti-tank weapons given to Ukrainian forces have been used with tremendous destruction throughout the war so far.
In one case, a Russian tank convoy ambushed by the brave Ukrainian army using anti-tank missiles.
The footage shows a missile hitting Putin’s war machine directly.
And the Russian army quickly dispersed after it exploded. Missiles were fired from behind the trees.
Drones are also accused destroy Russian tanks and missiles earlier this week. The video captures the cheers of Ukrainians.
