It certainly is, if it provides him a clear land-bridge from Russia to Crimea.
More on the UK MLRS.
"The United Kingdom is asking the U.S. to sign off on a plan to send advanced, medium-range rocket systems to Ukraine within a few weeks, according to a person familiar with the matter and a document outlining the proposal, a move that follows President Joe Biden’s announcement that he’s sending similar weapons.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson spoke with Biden about the transfer of the U.S.-made M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems on Wednesday morning, to be followed by a discussion between U.K. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss and Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday morning, the person familiar with the schedule said. The U.S. must officially approve the move due to export regulations, though the Biden administration is near certain to give the green light."

It looks like UK has 44 of these systems.

If those drones can stay in the air for 30 hours, and carry eight missiles, I hope the Ukrainians use them on Sevastopol. Now, that’s probably a pinprick on a large naval base, but maybe they get lucky and hit a ship rearming. Maybe they damage a sub to where it can’t submerge and get in close to fire off it’s missiles.
There is plenty of room to complain about Germany, France, and Switzerland, but Turkey is not getting enough heat. They are kissing around with Greece, and with the additions of Sweden and Finland. They are not being leaders in opening up the Black Sea.
This article is about them being angry over NATO, expanding its presence on Crete, and at an airbase in NE Greece near the Bulgarian and Turkish borders.

And because they deserve every bit of bad publicity they can get...
LOL-thanks, I thought that was weird even for Russia.That’s crude photoshop on his beret.
The Swedish version of Hellfire meant for attacking ships and being sent to Ukraine.
"Swedish Robot 17 anti-ship missile developed by Bofors based on the AGM-114C Hellfire."
Remind me what party leader said a minor incursion would be ok.
"Canada has asked the government of South Korea to produce and deliver more artillery rounds to backfill supplies that Ottawa sent to war-torn Ukraine.
Last month, Canadian Defence Minister Anita Anand announced that the country would provide 20,000 artillery shells to Kyiv amid an ongoing Russian military offensive.
South Korea is a significant manufacturer of 155-millimeter ammunition since it operates K9 self-propelled howitzers.
According to a recent report by Reuters, a spokesman for South Korea’s defense ministry has confirmed Canada’s request for more artillery rounds.
However, the official did not provide further details since there are still “no official proceedings” related to the request.
In addition to backfilling Canadian supplies of artillery rounds, the request is seen as a move to pressure South Korea to provide lethal aid to Ukraine, even indirectly.
Seoul announced that it has no plans to send lethal equipment to Kyiv to defend against Russian aggression.
Instead, the Asian nation has provided humanitarian assistance and delivered non-lethal items such as bulletproof helmets and medical kits to support Ukrainian soldiers.
Former South Korean President Moon Jae-in rejected the appeal of Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy to supply armored vehicles and anti-aircraft weapons.
According to South Korean broadcaster SBS, the potential deal with Canada could involve the delivery of 100,000 artillery shells.
“We are actively pursuing a plan to provide 100,000 rounds to Canada,” the report said, citing an unnamed high-ranking South Korean defense ministry official."

This works. Korea bills Canada and the US delivers the ammo to a friendly European country.
