It's nice to see the UK pilot being interviewed. I'm glad the US and Nato we have partners that are professional, well trained and confident like the UK.

They fly over my house in the early hours and make the windows vibrate - The dog don't like it but it makes me smile.

Thank you UK and citizens there for all you have done for Ukraine from the USA!!

[@AISWIMING]

Well done lads and girls everyone supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦

[@asicdathens]

The Greek C-130's that flew to Poland with whatever supplies we could send to Ukraine flew with transponders on. I watched them take off from Greece and land in Poland. NATO has to send even more

[@Pesmog]

I have never seen it confirmed before that the UK was sending Brimstone 2. Up until now most of the official communications have suggested that they were legacy stockpiles of Brimstone 1 that were being passed to Ukraine. Maybe I missed the announcement.

Keep supporting Ukraine 🇬🇧

American built C17. We love our UK Allies

[@RichardLionheart12]

Please give more weapons to Ukraine as Ukraine should win this war and Putin should lose the war and Putin should accept defeat. 👍 Thanks to UK, US and EU for sending weapons to protecting Ukrainian sky. Slava Ukraini

Great channel. Well done and keep going.

Most of you seem to have missed what the pilot said, "... to meet some of the people down the back who we're bringing out." Maybe that explains why they are being careful about the location.
