UK arms Ukraine with advanced Brimstone 2 missiles

The first version of Brimstone entered the Royal Air Force service in 2005. It was upgraded in 2008 so it could be guided by laser. Brimstone 2, the next improved model, entered service in 2016. With a range, when launched from a jet, of roughly 37 miles (about 59 km), Brimstone 2 is designed primarily to hit ground targets, including moving vehicles.
