cruise missile

According to the National Audit Office, the UK has committed nearly £8 billion to Ukraine - air defence missiles, drones, cruise missiles, tanks and ships, as well as clothing and personal equipment.

Unlike the UK, Germany has refused to supply Ukraine with its Taurus cruise missile.

One of their military advantages is their immense speed compared with cruise missiles or drones.

David's Sling is meant to destroy longer-range rockets, cruise missiles and medium-range or long-range ballistic missiles from a distance of up to 300km.

That would make it a slightly larger attack than April's barrage, which saw about 110 ballistic missiles and 30 cruise missiles fired towards Israel.
