U.K. Defense Ministry Confirms It Is Supplying Ukraine with Brimstone 2 Missiles

Nov. 28, 2022 (EIRNS)—The Brimstone 2 missiles which the U.K. is now proving to Ukraine are laser guided and very modern. They are air-to-surface missiles with a range of 60 km; if they are fired from land their range is only 12 km. Since Ukraine lacks much by way of air-launch capabilities at this point, it remains to be seen how much effect this will have on the actual battlefield—although the biggest danger is their deployment as part of a British-authored utopian warfare provocation, such as an attack on ships in the Black Sea, against Crimea, etc.

The British ministry posted a video clip on Nov. 27 on Twitter, showing at least one pallet of the high-precision missiles being delivered from the Royal Air Force Brize Norton base in Oxfordshire to an undisclosed airfield. The missiles were part of a U.K. “aid package” for Ukraine, the ministry said, confirming earlier media reports of such deliveries taking place for some time. “This aid has played a crucial role in stalling Russian advancements,” the ministry claimed in its tweet.
