Thales Missile factory Supply 5,000 air defense missiles in Ukraine

The Belfast Thales missile factory is to supply 5,000 Ukrainian air defense missiles, announced the Prime Minister.

The agreement costs £ 1.6 million and it will lead to 3 more employees.

Thales is one of the largest manufacturers of the European Army.

The request is multirole missiles (LMMs), who are using Ukrainian forces.

An announced £ 162 million contract announced in September last year as an initial order to provide Ukrainian production, with some first delivery in December.

The new request is much higher: the initial £ 1.16 million worth adding to the Ukrainian industry partner to add £ 500 million more.

The partner company will manufacture launchers and commands and control vehicles for Ukraine missiles.

The UK Ministry of Defense has said that Thales Belfast has never received the biggest contract ever received.

John Healey’s defense secretary said the agreement will help protect the Ukraine against drones and missile attacks and continue to avoid any fighting to avoid Russian attacks. “

The contract has been placed on behalf of the government’s defense equipment and support for Ukrainian government.

The UK export finance (UKEF) will be financed last year after signing last year, so that Ukraine has a 3.5 million pounds to spend with UKEE in the UK.
