The UK has bolstered Ukraine's ability to detect Russian attacks from the air by gifting dozens of air defence radars. These provide early warning against both Russian cruise missiles and Iranian supplied one-way drones. Training on this capability is underway in the UK for Ukrainian armed forces. UK Teams continue to provide specialist advice on the protection of critical infrastructure and a variety of other protective equipment.
