British ‘missile’ crashes the Russian helicopter.

A British-made Starstreak missile is thought to have shot down a Russian helicopter on its first weapons use in Ukraine.

Such a claim comes at a time when the country’s president Volodymyr Zelensky says the ‘invaders are withdrawing’ from the West.

The Starstreak system is a laser-guided missile that travels at more than three times the speed of sound to shoot down low-flying enemy aircraft and attack helicopters.

Britain is supplying Ukrainian troops with the use of high-speed anti-aircraft missiles, as well as the provision of other military equipment.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has repeatedly insisted that the UK will provide further defense support to Ukraine, including a new package of 6,000 additional missiles.

And recently published footage reportedly shows a Russian Mi-28N helicopter being shot down from the sky in the Luhansk region, splitting in two as its “tail” is hit by a rocket.
