Brimstone

The legacy Brimstone entered service in 2005, and has since been used by the RAF in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. The missile measures 1.8 m in length and 0.18 m in diameter. Typically loaded on a triple-launching pylon, the missile weighs approximately 50 kg, including its 6.3 kg armor penetrating warhead.8 Because of the missile’s relatively light weight, 12 or more may be carried by a single aircraft.9

The baseline Brimstone can be launched in two distinct targeting modes: indirect and direct. An indirect targeting fire-and-forget mode is used when targets are beyond the aircraft’s line of sight. The missile is pre-programmed to search a specific area to identify, track, and strike vehicles within a designated “kill box.”10 These autonomous capabilities are made possible by the missile’s millimetric Wave (mmW) terminal seeker. The seeker captures images at 94 Ghz (near optical wavelengths), producing high resolution images for the system’s target recognition algorithms to evaluate

“I want to emphasize that Ukraine highly appreciates the relationship of strategic partnership with the US on the basis of clear bipartisan support. Our relations with Washington have never been so efficient and meaningful as today,” Petro Poroshenko noted during the solemn events on occasion of the 27th anniversary of the Security Service of Ukraine.

The Head of State paid significant efforts for that and really appreciates this truly important asset of the Ukrainian foreign policy.

"In this context, I would like to mention the important role of US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch in promoting Ukraine-US relations. And I emphasize that she, as representative of the United States and US President Donald Trump, a great friend of Ukraine and a great friend of mine, enjoys my full support," the President said.
