Brimstone missiles
Brimstone is an air-to-ground missile. They are equipped with an active radar homing head, so they can destroy moving targets with great accuracy.
The latest versions of the missiles are capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 60 kilometers.
As British Defense Minister Grant Shapps said today, February 22, in general, the country will provide Ukraine with 200 Brimstone missiles as part of a new military aid package.
