Permalink UK confirms delivering Brimstone 2 precision-guided missiles to Ukraine despite Russia warnings

Britain has confirmed delivering precision-guided missiles to Ukraine, despite repeated warnings from Russia that Western weapon only serve to prolong the Ukraine war and will be considered "legitimate targets" for the Russian military. | The announcement was made by British Ministry of Defense via a tweet on Saturday. The ministry acknowledged arming Ukraine with Brimstone 2 missiles, saying the projectiles were meant to be deployed against Russia. 💬 "As part of its aid package, the UK has provided Brimstone 2 missiles, a precision-guided missile, to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This aid has played a crucial role in stalling Russian advances," the ministry said.  The missiles, which each cost about £175,000 ($212,000), are said to be able to hit targets through tracking a laser mark set on them by ground forces, aircraft, or vehicles. It can alternatively scan the battlefield and pick up targets from a pre-programmed list through the use of a radar. Developed by the European missile consortium MBDA, the Brimstone 2 missiles are available in the three air-launched, ground-launched, and ship-launched versions. The Ukrainian army uses Brimstones as part of truck-mounted missile launchers.  The new arms delivery to Kiev comes despite frequent warnings by top Russia officials that such weapon supplies only worsen the plight of the Ukrainian people and prolong the war.
