By Defence Industry Europe

Special Operations Forces of Ukraine demonstrated the firing of British Brimstone anti-tank missiles manufactured by MBDA.

The Ukrainian SOF official YouTube channel posted a video thath captured the launch of Brimstone missiles. The launcher is mounted on the basis of a civilian truck.

 

 

In November 2022, the United Kingdom delivered Brimstone 2 missiles to Ukraine. The main feature of Brimstone 2 is the combined guidance system, which uses an active seeker, as well as a semi-active laser beam guidance system. This Brimtone 2 is capable of covering a distance of up to 16 km when fired from the ground launcher, and the use of a combined homing head increases the probability of a successful hit.

 

 

The United Kingdom provided Ukraine with approximately 600 Brimstone missiles in both versions. Additionally, it is expected that an additional number of these missiles will be transferred in the future.
