The UK has run out of tanks and missiles to donate to Ukraine, The Telegraph reported.
An unnamed senior officer told the outlet that other countries would have to help now.
The UK has been one of Ukraine biggest allies in the war, providing it with many weapons.
The UK, one of Ukraine's biggest allies in the war, has run out of crucial equipment to donate, a senior officer told The Telegraph.
"We've given away just about as much as we can afford," the military source, who was not named, told the outlet on Monday.
"We will continue to source equipment to provide for Ukraine, but what they need now is things like air defense assets and artillery ammunition and we've run dry on all that," the person said.

And then the US cannot put together a political majority for the big bucks.
Ukraine says they're not worried at all, mostly because their cause is just.
I guess they have Disneyland tickets too.
No equipment? Well, Brits, give them your money and your young women.
Hmm, makes me think it’s time for someone to invade the UK while they are defenseless. No, you are not allowed to think the same thing when we run out of weapons. 😂
Sounds like a good time for Putin to liberate the UK.
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled One of Ukraine's biggest allies has run out of vital equipment to give it, report says, Mariner wrote: Poland, then Slovakia, then the UK. Germany openly states they're out of serviceable equipment to donate. And then the US cannot put together a political majority for the big bucks.

The Ukraine still makes money off child trafficking and organ harvesting, and the money they made selling weapons they didn't like to ISIS. Plus, America's black ops agencies don't have to report funds they use to anyone, not even Congress. It must be how they funded the Maidan Coup in 2014.
This country borrowed (more like paid for) 500,000 artillery shells from South Korea to send to Ukraine back in April.
Well, they haven’t yet forced Grandma and her teen grandkids into the line of artillery yet. They are next. They can use shovels and fireplace pokers.
So it is all good.
“One of Ukraine’s biggest allies [UK] has run out of vital equipment to give it, report says”
They barely had anything to begin with, which leads to the obvious question of why they were so gung-ho to start a war with a Superpower, without even ANY PREPARATION. (and we’re not much better off, at this point)

I think it’s time for the Welsh independence folks to make their move.
Strike while the iron is hot!
“Sounds like a good time for Putin to liberate the UK.”
You’re starting to sound as PSYCHOTIC as BobL.
“This country borrowed (more like paid for) 500,000 artillery shells from South Korea to send to Ukraine back in April.”
They’re long gone now. That’s why we had to move to the Cluster Bombs. Hope North Korea holds back for the next 5 to 10 years, when we’re able to resupply them.
A three front war! Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland!
Saw a Washington Post article today that we're sending Ukraine a version of the ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) long-range missiles armed with cluster bomblets, not just a single warhead.
Also, according to an article from November 2022, that I just came across, we bought 100,000 rounds of artillery ammo from a South Korean weapons manufacturer, and sent them to Ukraine. We also bought howitzers from them to send to Ukraine at the same time.
This is a war of attrition. The first side to run out of men, ammunition and/or supplies .... looses.
LOL!
So, ... the Limeys should send their 17 year-olds, both male and female, with sharp sticks. The Ukraine is worth it.
It doesn’t mean they are out of ammunition and weaponry. It means they are out of stuff they will give away. I’m sure they have reserves for a low level war but they cannot sustain a protracted war like Russia-Ukraine for more than a few weeks or possibly months.
I believe you are correct.
Because they are stupid? Never discount stupidity as a factor in international politics. Or anything really
Unfortunately, no one outlasts Russia. Trying to outlast Russia is a fool’s game.
