A British-made Starstreak missile is understood to have shot down a Russian helicopter in the weapon's first use in Ukraine - as the country's president Volodymyr Zelensky says the 'occupiers are withdrawing' from the West.
The Starstreak system is a laser-guided missile that travels at more than three times the speed of sound to take down low-flying enemy jets and attack helicopters.
Britain is supplying and training Ukrainian troops in the use of the high-velocity anti-air missiles as well as providing body armour, helmets and combat boots.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has repeatedly insisted the UK will provide further defensive support to Ukraine, including a new package of 6,000 more missiles.
And footage now shows a Russian Mi-28N helicopter being shot out of the sky in the Luhansk region and cut in two as its tail is struck by the portable missile.
The video released on Friday shows the Starstreak missile in action during its first week of use in the war, a source at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) told The Times.
Meanwhile, Zelensky alleged Russian troops were retreating from Ukraine's northern region. He said: 'The occupiers are withdrawing forces in the north of our country. The withdrawal is slow but noticeable.'

Makes you wonder when Putin is going to say, enough of this sh*t and uses the nukes where there’s no defense.
He can wipe out a whole area in a second.
PHOTOS WITHIN —this looks real to me! Not Ukie lies or exaggeration. Now Pooty Poot Poot Poot is steamed at the Brits!!!!
In his bat-cave in the far off Ural Mountains.

The United States will also work with allies to transfer Soviet-made tanks to Ukraine to bolster its defenses in the Donbas region, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing a US official.
The transfers, requested by Zelensky, would begin soon, the unnamed official said. The official declined to tell the paper how many tanks would be sent or from which countries they would come.
And UK defence sources revealed last night that Kremlin forces have run out of vital weapons and cannot now replenish their stocks.
They’ll need to shoot down more than one.
Pooty Poot has made sure it won't be his arse that gets blown up in retaliation. He currently lives in his combo Bat Cave/fallout shelter carved into Russia's Ural Mountains. At any rate, when it comes to firing off any kind of nukes, battlefield included, this retard's orders will be ignored.
“Makes you wonder when Putin is going to say, enough of this sh*t and uses the nukes where there’s no defense.”
Because he knows President Pudding Cup would have to respond in kind. NATO is not going to stand for nukes being used in Europe.

Thanks for the video!!!
Pooty Poot just put up a new dart board with Boris Johnson’s face on it. He will spend today drinking vodka and throwing darts at it.

Everybody is having fun testing their weapons. Right?
“Because he knows President Pudding Cup would have to respond in kind?”
I’ll take the other end of this bet. If a tactical nuke exploded in Ukraine, just where would we attack? Certainly not a Russian city.
And if the Russians threatened us with the next one, I think old pudding cup would just bark a little and then get back up on the porch.
And the Russians know this.
Biden might do that. The rest of Europe wouldn’t. They’d have to.

No indication, other than the reportage, that such a missile, and not some other, was used.
There are sales to be made!
...and Russian tanks and helos to be taken out.
They should get out before they lose Crimea.
I don't think he's likely to do that
How long before Ukraine troops head towards Moscow with all this high tech boom boom?
Wouldn’t that be something?
Every day Putin is grateful for Biden.
