United Kingdom defence chiefs have signed a £170 million deal to buy the
world’s most deadly and accurate missile ever built. The missile,
termed 'Brimstone 2' is the worlds most accurate missile and can single
out a person from 14 miles away.
The
1.8metre long Brimstone 2 air-to-ground bomb can wipe out a tank or
kill a person, leaving people just feet away unscathed or unharmed.
A
Military defence expert said to Mirror UK: “The Brimstone can kill a
person in a car parked outside a house and just a few windows in the
home may be damaged.
“It is the best
missile for the current conflict in Iraq and Syria because it goes a
long way to ensuring minimum civilian casualties and maximum
efficiency.”
A spokesman for the MoD
said: “Brimstone 2 has the same heavyweight punch as its predecessor but
can be launched from approximately twice as far away.
“Its
cutting-edge seeker and more flexible guidance system means the new
missile can defeat more challenging targets with greater accuracy.”
Minister
for Defence Procurement Philip Dunne said: “Brimstone has proven to be a
key weapon in coalition operations against Daesh and these
improvements, made possible through sustained Government support, build
on that success.
“The MOD’s £170 million
investment in Brimstone 2 will increase the effectiveness of UK air
power and provide a significant boost to the national economy,
sustaining around 250 jobs across the South West and South East.”
