Media: Aircraft of the British Air Force first hit the positions of the IG missiles "Brimstone"

Information Agency Rider reports that British military aircraft attacked DAISH (IG) militants in Iraq, using high-precision missiles for the first time Brimstone class "air-ground". The news agency refers to the head of the British Cabinet of Ministers David Cameron.

At the same time, according to the tradition established in the camp of the western coalition, neither the launches of the missiles themselves from the planes, nor the results of air strikes were demonstrated. Which objects were hit by missiles with homing heads, is also not reported.

For your information:
Brimstone - air-to-ground self-guided missile that entered service with the British Royal Air Force in 2005. Upgraded Brimstone rockets have the possibility of laser targeting. Start of development is dated 1996 year. The declared range of the rocket is about 22 km. However, the British media write that the radius of destruction of targets for new modifications has been increased at least threefold.

The Brimstone missiles were once actively used against government forces in Libya during the NATO operation, which led to the complete collapse of the once highly successful North African country.

Well, then they’ll figure it out and if they really hit not on peaceful objects, but on militants, then they will show and tell. And now you can simply proudly say that they bombed the terrorists.

They are already sort of like a year and a half dunes open their rockets. The financial result is so decent in terms of expenses. With this money, it would be possible to green everything that they bombed.

with laser? then in the bushes there was a masked gunner with a laser-maser ...

Upgraded Brimstone missiles have the ability to laser targeting.

The article has a typo. They had laser guidance before. The upgraded version received an active millimeter seeker combined with a laser.

In general, a very interesting solution in terms of price-quality ratio. We should think about adapting Cornet to similar tasks.

No not like this.
Designed by the original laser seeker from AGM-114 Hellfire. During development, almost everything was redesigned, AGM-114 was abandoned from LGS
Initially (entering service) had only ARGSN millimeter range.

Experience in Afghanistan (negative), urgently required retrofitting with a dual-mode guidance system. Urgent Operational Requirement in 2008

Added a laser (which allows the "gunner" to select specific targets when it is possible to defeat friendly forces or civilians.

Upgrading to 2 modes cost a budget (from single mode) between £ 35,000 and £ 45,000 plus VAT

laser GOS according to STANAG 3733 (theoretically it can support the 2nd illumination while it does not work)


can hit targets moving at 50 mph

1.) SPEAR Capability 2 Block 1 (the suspension on the Tornado of 11.2015 should have been) targets up to 70 mph (110 km / h)
2.) SPEAR Drop 2 (JSOW-ER) with Hamilton Sundstrand TJ-150 turbojet remote control range up to 100-120 km

version of Brimstone "Sea Spear" and "remained" single-mode (millimeter gsn)



hits targets up to 20 kts ... the truth is not always successful yet (it seems that they drowned fishermen who had nothing to do with it)

Over £ 100 for 000kg and 49m? Blomberg is scandalous, claiming that they cost the RAF £ 1.8 ($ 175,000) apiece. The Daily Telegraph argues that dual-mode missiles cost about £ 263,000.
Sold for £ 10 million Royal Saudi Air Force for use on their Tornados.
It seems that India sent a request for integration into the Su-30MKI fleet.
/ But they promised no more than £ 57000 + VAT

Thanks to read your comments are always interesting. So everything on the shelves!

Amazed. And sho? What was the point of spending such expensive weapons? Ditch the gang of terrorists or their construction? Or their shaitan-arbu, sorry, Toyota Hilux. It is absolutely incomprehensible to me. Scare us? Meaning? We already know that their precision missiles are the most missile in the world.

Tests in conditions close to combat.

[Junior, I]

The main thing is to blather on time that they were applied. Then they’ll figure out where they got !!!

[Mavrikiy]

Well then. The polygon continues to work. Everyone has their own goals, some confidently demonstrate the effectiveness of their weapons, others stubbornly hide their figs in their pockets, "but I have something."

----------------------
I sincerely sympathize with all kinds of pickups and trucks that move there. Above are Brimstone British missiles, below are ambushes by fighters from TOW ATGMs. This is some kind of horror for which anti-tank weapons are used. ANTITANK, CARL, against ordinary pickup trucks!

[vadimtt]

It’s like hammering nails with a microscope.
And what does laser homing mean? Highlighted - launched - then the rocket itself illuminates the target or what? Just in the photo I see a classic head for working on a reflected laser beam, i.e. with external target designation. Or did they illuminate the target — did the rocket calculate the trajectory, go by inertial, on approaching it, take the contrast spot in the IR spot closest to the calculated point and put a jet into it?

[voyaka uh]

"It's like hammering nails with a microscope, for pickups" ////

For the price - yes. And according to checks of the maximum ability of weapons -
another thing. It's one thing - a pickup at high speed rushes along a winding
road, the other is a slowly crawling tank.
If you managed to get on a pickup truck, then even more soak on the tower and the tank when needed.

In Lebanon, Israel had a problem - off-road motorcycles with which militants
Hezbollah remotely fired rockets at Israeli ambush positions in Israeli cities.
To get with the F-16 rocket into a racing motorcycle was an infrequent luck.
Now UAVs do this more accurately with special mini-missiles.

Are there cheaper options?
Well, either the jamming cannon is jammed, or the old 200 / 500kg fabs are jammed. Not very environmentally friendly, especially in the vicinity of peaceful facilities.

And this is an ideal high-precision weapon, for a point defeat

The first version flew on 8 km. The second on 22. So it turns out 3 times.
Plus it has already been said that the first version is laser. The second is a double GOS. Laser + millimeter.

.Three !!!! .... And this is laser-guided ?????.

1.Officially declared range is up to 32 km.
2. She has a 2-mode GOS (94Hz ARGS + laser standard STANAG 3733) and have ANN
theoretically, it can go to the target area without visual identification of the operator.
And in ARGS, the radar picture of targets on this theater is always loaded from the carrier

4. Three (range), this is SPEAR Drop 2 (JSOW-ER) with Hamilton Sundstrand TJ-150 turbojet remote control range up to 100-120 km (trials go from 2014 to Typhoon)

illumination in this case from a drone (BAE Mantis, Avenger, Reaper) with data transfer to the medium.
Tests: Spiral 1 and 2

Based on technologies from Thorn EMI, Hunting Engineering, Texas Instruments, British Aerospace Dynamics and GEC Marconi.

as well as the German Smart Weapon Anti-Armor (SWAARM) from Daimler Benz Aerospace Mehrzweckwaffe 2 which was based on Mehrzweckwaffe 1

had: before the warhead at 300g, tilted down at an angle to make it more effective against reactive armor and the main 6.2kg warhead.

now a slightly different (increased) warhead

not yet (if the laser mode is used)

the operator keeps the cross on the target until it is defeated:

aimed, holds

target destroyed, may not hold
ARGSN millimeter wave can "independently" if the Weapon systems officer ("WSO" - "wizzo") loaded target data into it and such targets WILL FIND.
wizzo can receive data from RAF ASTOR, USAF Northrop Grumman E-8 Joint STARS or local DRG (with connection).
There is no goal in the self-destruction zone.
They also have an algorithm for selecting targets for m / y missiles at group launch of 24 missiles at a group target.
They don’t say exactly, but they hit targets not simultaneously, but in a staggered manner

That is what the Saudis are denying from a bombed hospital in Yemen. Not we, they say, bombed doctors without borders! In the light of this article, maybe they really aren’t? Maybe it’s the British’s missiles, they were fired by militants in Syria, and they’re going to Yemen and the hospital - bang!

The venerable Sir Cameron has established himself as an excellent liar, and therefore the success of the British causes me strong doubts. Moreover, there is no evidence. that these missiles were actually used, and were not photographed for any magazine a few years ago ... Sir.
