Britain has finally decided on the number of M270B1 MLRS long-range multiple launch rocket systems that will be delivered to Ukraine. According to The Times, the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom will give Kiev only three MLRS.

The UK, which has been the loudest in declaring that Ukraine needs to transfer as many long-range MLRS as possible, will eventually transfer them the least. According to the British publication, the United States will send a total of no more than ten HIMARS MLRS to the APU, Germany announced the delivery of four MARS II installations, which are the German version of the M270 MLRS, and Britain only three. However, the newspaper expresses a timid hope that this is just the first delivery, and then the UK will "fill up" Ukraine with long-range jet systems.

Meanwhile, Kiev demands from the West the transfer of at least 60 such systems in order to "reverse the situation" in the Donbas and launch an offensive. As previously reported, for some reason, Ukraine places unrealistic hopes on the MLRS data and even plans further military actions based on their delivery.

But let's return to the British MLRS, which will soon have to go to Ukraine. As British Defense Minister Ben Wallace said earlier this week, Kiev, along with MLRS, will receive M31A1 ammunition, which are guided missiles for M270 MLRS with a range of up to 70 km. These munitions can hit point targets, the guidance system is inertial with satellite correction. The number of guided missiles planned for transfer is not reported, but it is emphasized that ammunition will be delivered to the APU in "large quantities".

The UK also promised to train the Ukrainian military to use MLRS M270B1 MLRS on its territory, explaining that training here will give "maximum effect".
