The United Kingdom has confirmed the delivery of modern laser-guided Brimstone 2 missiles to Ukraine, according to the British Ministry of Defense(MOD).
In a Nov. 27 video posted on Twitter, the MOD showed multiple bundles of the missiles delivered from the Royal Air Force Brize Norton Base in Oxfordshire to an airfield at an undisclosed location. According to the ministry, the said missiles were part of an “aid package” London sent to Kyiv.
“As part of its aid package, the U.K. has provided Brimstone 2 missiles – a precision-guided missile – to the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the MOD stated, confirming earlier media reports. “This aid has played a crucial role in stalling Russian advancement.”The new Brimstone 2 missiles were only a part of British military support to Ukraine. Last spring, British forces allegedly started delivering previous versions of the missile to their counterparts in Kyiv. The missile shipments first became public on Nov. 21, when initial photos of the cargo were released by the British Forces Broadcasting Service.
According to an earlier report by the Ukrainian News Agency, London will also supply Ukraine with Sea King helicopters. It came following a promise by the British governmentthat it would deliver scores of artillery guns, hundreds of drones, more anti-tank weapons and 50,000 rounds of ammunition.
