Army Recognition
According to information published by the British Newspaper, The Guardian, on June 24, 2025, the United Kingdom has announced a new delivery package to Ukraine that includes 350 ground-launched ASRAAM missiles and five additional Raven air defense missile systems. The missiles, adapted from their original air-to-air configuration by British defense engineers at MBDA UK and the Royal Air Force, are scheduled for deployment in the coming weeks. The funding, amounting to £70 million, will come directly from interest generated through the UK’s Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) scheme, which utilizes proceeds from frozen Russian financial assets. This represents the first instance in which the UK has used Russia-linked funds to finance lethal aid for Ukraine.
