| British C-17 Globemaster III Aircraft Delivers Brimstone 2 Missiles to Ukraine |
International Military - The British Ministry of Defense recently uploaded a video showing the delivery of military weapons from its country to Ukraine.
The video shows a C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft belonging to the British Air Force (RAF) carrying the Brimestone 2 missile package. These are missiles that have been modified to be launched from mobile platforms on the ground using trucks, to carry out missile attacks against Russian tanks and vehicles. other.
The missiles can select their own targets from a pre-programmed list using an ultra-high-frequency millimetric wave radar, the UK Ministry of Defence has said. The £175,000 per unit missile can also track lasers fired by soldiers, aircraft or vehicles to reach their targets.
Brimstone can be used with great precision in densely populated areas to reduce the chance of collateral damage or death to civilians.
As well as sending Brimestone missiles, Britain recently pledged to supply Ukraine with a large arsenal of artillery pieces, hundreds of drones, 50,000 shells and more anti-tank weapons in the coming weeks. Britain is one of the countries that sent the largest military aid package to Ukraine.
