The strike at the Defence Equipment and Support depot in Beith, Scotland, occurred on Friday and involved more than 50 key workers, media reported.

"The strike action, if it continues over a long period, could eventually have implications for missiles going to Ukraine or Faslane," an insider told UK media.

Workers of the weapons depot, which supplies Storm Shadow and Brimstone missiles to Ukraine, plan to go on another strike over low wages on Monday.
The UK Defense Ministry has reportedly launched "contingency measures" to prevent Ukraine’s weapons supplies from being affected.

In recent months, Ukraine has been pushing to be supplied with fighter jets. The Kremlin has repeatedly warned against further arms deliveries to Kiev.
