Operating principle

Brimstone is a light (50 kg) precision anti-armor missile with dual-mode seeker (millimeter-wave radar + semi-active laser). Range 12 km from a helicopter, 60 km from an aircraft (Brimstone 3). The radar mode enables a "swarm attack": one aircraft can release 6 Brimstones against 6 different vehicles in a convoy on a single pass — they autonomously sort their targets to avoid double engagements ("battlefield logistics auctioneering"). UK, Saudi Arabia, French MoD interest; Brimstone 3 in Ukraine (SeaSpear derivative) very effective against Russian Pantsir-S1 and Tor-M2 in 2023.
