Peace campaigners warn against government plans to send anti-aircraft vehicles to Ukraine

THE British government’s plans to send armoured anti-aircraft vehicles to Ukraine risk escalating the war, peace campaigners warned today.
The Stormer vehicle, manufactured by British arms giant BAE Systems, launches Starstreak anti-aircraft missiles, which can be used to target planes and helicopters.
The provision of the missile launchers has not yet been officially confirmed, but Defence Secretary Ben Wallace is expected to make a statement on military assistance to Ukraine later this week.
