BRITISH SOLDIER KILLED IN UKRAINE AS RUSSIA FIRES COLD WAR ERA MISSILES DESIGNED TO DESTROY AIRCRAFT CARRIERS

 Russia fires five-and-a-half ton Cold War-era missiles designed to destroy aircraft carriers at Ukrainian forces in the Donbas after running out of precision rockets, MoD says

• Putin's forces are getting desperately low on modern weaponry, the MoD stated
• Antiquated, inaccurate Cold War-era missiles pose a greater threat to civilians
• 'Intense street fighting' continues in east Ukraine as Russia seeks to tighten grip
• Ukrainian army also accused Russia of deploying flamethrowers on grain fields
• It came as British soldier Jordan Gatley (pictured bepow) was killed fighting on the frontline
  

  Russia is relying on Cold War-era missiles with 'severe' risks to civilians as Putin's forces have run out of modern weapons, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) claimed.

  The government's daily intelligence update on Saturday also offered new details of 'intense street fighting' in eastern Ukraine as Russian soldiers were pushed back.

  Antiquated Kh-22 missiles from the 1960s are extra dangerous as they 'are highly inaccurate and therefore can cause severe collateral damage and causalities', the ministry wrote.
