Britain just bought more Martlet missiles RAF Regiment servicemen used them in real Middle East operations against real Iranian drones and ran through their stock. More than 100 drone shootdowns later, two new contracts worth £36 million were signed in April and May 2026 for hundreds more. Ukraine has 6,000 of the same missile headed its way, for exactly the same reason Britain bought more. In this video: how Martlet's laser beam-riding guidance makes it specifically suited to the drone threat, why Britain's combat record matters more than any range test, and what 6,000 missiles actually add to Ukraine's layered air defense stack. Deliveries are already underway, RapidRanger is already visible in Ukrainian service, and the additional 1,000 announced in February 2026 appears intended for delivery to Ukraine on an urgent 2026 timeline.
