Britain is helping to tighten up NATO’s eastern flank by sending to Poland its new air defence missile system that is capable of shooting down tennis ball-sized targets, it has been reported.
The Sky Sabre missiles, only unveiled last month by the British military, travel at the speed of sound and have three times the range of the Rapier that was previously used by the UK in Kuwait and the Falklands War.
It can reach speeds of 2,300mph targeting planes, drones and bombs.
