The UK will send an additional 600 Brimstone missiles to Ukraine to help it deal with the Russian invasion, Britain’s defense minister in Estonia announced on Thursday.
The Brimstone is a surface-to-surface or air-to-surface anti-tank missile developed by MBDA for the British Army. It can be installed on different types of armored vehicles. With a range of 60 km, it is equipped with laser guidance and millimeter radar to effectively hit moving targets. Its maximum range, for its improved version from an airplane, is about 60 km.
“Today I can say that we will also send another 600 Brimstone missiles into the theater of operations, which will be incredibly important in helping Ukraine dominate the battlefield,” Ben Wallace said on a visit to the Tapa military base in Estonia.
