shantnews.am The United Kingdom has tested new long-range missiles that may eventually be deployed to Ukraine, reports The Daily Telegraph.
The tests took place in the Hebrides Islands of the Atlantic Ocean as part of the second phase of the "Brakestop" project. In 2025, British authorities selected weapon projects from three companies—MBDA UK, MGI Engineering, and Rotron Aerospace—from 27 applications.
The UK Ministry of Defence has tasked the companies with developing long-range weapon systems capable of striking targets over 480 km away, carrying a 250 kg warhead, and achieving speeds of approximately 600 km/h. Other customer requirements included a cost of around £400,000 ($530,000) per weapon and the ability to produce 20 such systems per month.
According to the publication, during the testing of the Hebrides missiles, the systems from all three companies operated normally, despite minor technical issues anticipated within the project's "rapid fault detection" approach. The newspaper noted that developers will now address the identified issues before conducting further tests.
