To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress his Department has made on the interim. Reporting on the U.K., Europe, and the U.S., he works to analyze and understand left-wing and right-wing radicalization, and reports on Western governments’ approaches to the pressing issues of today. Royal Navy ships were to lose surface-to-surface anti-ship missile capability in 2018 when the Harpoon missile was originally to be withdrawn with a replacement not due until ‘around 2030’, the new interim missile will fill the upcoming gap. Jack Buckby is a British author, counter-extremism researcher, and journalist based in New York. “But I do not want to go further into questions about specific donations.” Estimated value excluding VAT: Range: between 100 000 000 and 200 000 000 GBP When Harpoon exits service in 2023 there will be a serious capability gap until the potential entry into service of FC/ASW programme in 2030 if this does not happen, warned a report published by the Defence Committee.
“It is no secret that we donate weapons to Ukraine, and we also coordinate this with the United States and Ukraine,” the government minister said. The cost per missile has been quoted as £175,000 each in 2015, 12 or 'over £100,000'.
When approached for comment by the Wall Street Journal, Danish Defense Minister Morten Bødskov refused to offer any specifics about the deal but appeared to confirm that Denmark is working with the United States to ensure Ukraine gets the weaponry it needs. The Danish government has so far not only refused to confirm what variant of the Harpoon missiles and missile systems will be sent to Ukraine but also refused to confirm the new plans altogether. Some 22 tons of grain remain stuck in Ukrainian ports, with Russia refusing to allow the ships to leave without Western countries lifting some of the many economic sanctions levied against Russian financial institutions in recent months.Įven after Austin publicly expressed his gratitude to Denmark for supplying new missiles to Ukraine, the Danish government refused to comment on the matter. Not only will the missiles assist Ukraine in fighting Russian ships, which may be used as platforms for firing long-distance missiles at mainland Ukraine, but they could also assist in the clearing of the ports.
