Report describes the missiles as P-15 Termit/SS-N-2 "Styx" cruise missiles. They're anti-shipping missiles and are over 40 years old in design. Revolutionary when they came out- it was the first cruise missile to sink a ship (during the 1967 Six Day War).

As long as the UK has nuclear weapons, then I don't believe that we should be telling others not to have them. We should lead by example.


I somehow doubt that unilateral disarmament is going to do anything.

Have you heard of the Borey class?
