The UK plans to deliver newly developed missiles to Ukraine by the end of next year.

The UK has signed contracts with multiple companies to develop the country's first ballistic missile in over half a century, aimed at supporting Ukraine and reducing Europe's reliance on American weapons. According to sources, the UK Ministry of Defence has lowered the specifications of the weapon to expedite the development process, with the goal of delivering the weapon to Ukraine by 2027. The Ministry of Defence has declined to comment on the specification changes. Sources indicate that defense companies involved in the "Nightfall" program must successfully conduct tests before winning the missile production contract.
