 UK arms Ukraine with Brimstone-2 missiles. The UK has supplied Ukraine with advanced Brimstone-2 high precision missiles. The precision-guided missiles have been provided as part of the aid package to the Ukrainian army. This aid has played a crucial role in stalling Russian advancements. UK's Minstrum Defense set in a statement on November 27. Being in the service of the Royal Air Force since 2016, each Brimstone-2 missile costs roughly 175,000 pounds or 207,000 USD. The flight range of the missile is 60 kilometers when launched from an aircraft and about 12 kilometers when launched from ground platforms. The missiles can select their own target from a pre-programmed list using an extremely high-frequency millimeter wave raider, or they can track a laser fired by soldiers, aircraft or vehicles to hit their target. The air-launched version of Brimstone-2 is said to be capable of hitting targets up to 60 kilometers, although missiles launched from the ground have a considerably lower range of 10 to 12 kilometers, caused by the rocket's large energy costs to gain altitude.
