UK unveils three US-free cruise missiles for Ukraine

Britain is set to supply Ukraine with new long-range cruise missiles that contain no American-made components, according to the Financial Times. This design means Ukraine's use of the missiles will not require approval from the United States, giving London and Kyiv greater operational autonomy. The missiles are part of a broader UK effort to develop sovereign strike capabilities for Ukraine, with prototypes already tested under codenames like 'Project Brakestop'.
