“As part of its aid package, the UK has provided Brimstone 2 missiles, a precision-guided missile, to the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the message reads.

UK media reported the transfer of these missiles as early as the end of November.

Brimstone 2 is a modernized version of the original Brimstone missile. The new missile has an improved millimeter wave (MMV) seeker technology, a more modular design and improvements to airframe and software.

When launched from the air, the missile has a range of up to 60 km or 37 miles. It is possible to launch it from the ground. In this case the missile’s range is up to 12 kilometers or 7.7 miles.

Brimstone-2 is a ground attack missile. It’s reactive radar allows it to track and hit even moving targets. It has a pre-charge of 100 grams of explosives to trigger the reactive armor of Russian tanks, and a 6.2-kilogram main warhead to defeat the tank’s main armor.
