A Palpable Hit -- The Dew Line/Flight Global
The folks at MBDA Inc in the USA have kindly posted a video compilation showing the results from a series of test firings involving the Brimstone missile conducted from an MQ-9 Reaper UAV earlier this year.
We reported about the test campaign elsewhere on Flightglobal in January, and also in March – it was performed by personnel from the UK Royal Air Force and the US Big Safari project office in California, with support from industry.
As you can see from the video, each of the shots (which used a mix of telemetry- and live warhead-equipped rounds) resulted in a direct hit, despite being conducted against small vehicle targets moving at up to 70mph, and from a maximum range of 12km.
