The United Kingdom has announced a competition for the development of a new ground-launched missile for Ukraine. The Nightfall missile will carry a warhead weighing 200 kg, with a range of over 500 km. This was reported by the Ministry of Defence of the Kingdom.

It is planned that production will reach 10 missiles per month, with a price of up to £800,000 (approximately $1.1 million) per unit. UK Defence Minister John Healey noted: "We are committed to providing Ukrainian forces with modern weapons to counter Russian troops."

The UK Ministry of Defence plans to award contracts worth £9 million ($12.1 million) to three industrial groups for the missile development. The first prototypes are expected to be ready for testing within a year. The deadline for submitting applications for the competition is February 9, with contract awards scheduled for March.
