A Belfast factory is set to supply 5,000 air defence missiles to Ukraine as part of a deal announced by the British prime minister. The Thales factory, which is located in east Belfast, had previously been awarded a contract to manufacture 650 lightweight multirole missiles (LMMs) for the country.

The UK has signed a £1.6 billion deal to supply more than 5,000 air defence missiles to Ukraine that will be manufactured in Belfast. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said on Sunday that the lightweight-multirole missiles (LMM) will be made in Northern Ireland, creating 200 jobs.
