I am truly truly truly suprised that the UK has 5,000 launchers in the first place. Given the ranges involved - there is no value in "reload" as the launch crew will have bigger problems on their hands than lugging that thing around after they have launched it ...

A good show of support from the UK and certainly something for the Russians to think about now that they did not have to before.

Not sure what the future holds in this conflict but i am personally proud that we in the UK, are on the right side of history on this one.
