C-17 Loads Of Anti-Tank Missiles Arrive In Ukraine Courtesy Of
The United Kingdom
"Officials in the United Kingdom and Germany have pushed back against speculation
that there has been some kind of diplomatic disagreement between the two countries
over a British airbridge operation that is delivering Next Generation Light Anti-tank
Weapons, or NLAWs, to Ukraine.
U.K. Royal Air Force C-17 cargo planes began flying sorties to Boryspil International
Airport outside the Ukrainian capital Kyiv yesterday, taking a route that appeared
designed to avoid German airspace, after British authorities publicly announced the
planned arms shipments. This all comes amid simmering concerns that Russia may be
planning to launch a new, large-scale military intervention into Ukraine, fears that have
sparked anew as Russian troops flood into neighboring Belarus ostensibly for snap
exercises next month.
German authorities have made clear that they did not ban the British flights from
entering their airspace for any reason and U.K. officials had not requested permission to
send the C-17s over their country on the way to Ukraine in the first place. This was
subsequently confirmed by the U.K. Ministry of Defense."
