The British Government is set to surpass its commitment to deliver 12 AS90 artillery guns within 100 days of taking office, with 16 units now on course to be delivered.

A total of 16 units are now on course to be delivered, with 10 already delivered and six more to follow in the coming weeks, the British government reported on its website with reference to the Ministry of Defense.

“Artillery has played a vital role in providing cover for Ukrainian troops and destroying key Russian targets,” the message reads.

The government recalled that the UK recommits to GBP 3 billion a year of military support for Ukraine until 2030/31 and for as long as it takes.

The government have also announced a new joint MOD and FCDO Ukraine unit - led by Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Defence Secretary John Healey –which will integrate expertise and help drive a new whole-of-government approach to Ukraine.

Alongside this, defence is creating a new direct cyber pathway to help boost the UK’s cyber resilience, with different tailored selection and basic training requirements.
