'Speaking in the Commons on Friday, James Heappey, the Armed Forces minister, said anti-tank missiles had "already proven to be invaluable" in the conflict in Ukraine.
Mr Heappey said the Government was "aware of the number of circumstances" in which the anti-tank missiles "have been used to defeat Russian armour, and we are therefore very aware of their utility, both in open battle during the initial phase of the conflict, but also in the urban domain in any resistance or insurgency that might follow".
The Minister also shared insight that Russia's invasion had not been as successful as planned.
He said: "Suffice to say, we are pretty certain that in the Kremlin last night there will have been some pretty urgent reflections on the speed of the advance compared to what they anticipated.
"I think that Russian people should be calling President Putin and the kleptocracy that surrounds him out on that, because young Russian men and women are being sacrificed in the name of President Putin's hubris." '
