Brimstone is an air-launched ground attack missile developed by MBDA for Britain's Royal Air Force.
It was originally intended for "fire-and-forget" use against mass formations of enemy tanks and tank armour, using a millimetric wave (mmW) active radar homing seeker to ensure accuracy even against moving targets. Experience in Afghanistan led to the addition of laser guidance in the dual-mode Brimstone missile, allowing a "spotter" to pick out specific targets when friendly forces or civilians were in the area.
The tandem shaped charge warhead is much more effective against modern tanks than older similar weapons such as the AGM-65G Maverick, while the small blast area minimises collateral damage. Three Brimstones are carried on a launcher that occupies a single weapon station, allowing a single aircraft to carry many missiles.
After a protracted development programme, single-mode or "millimetric" Brimstone entered service with RAF Tornado aircraft in 2005, and the dual-mode variant in 2008. The latter has been extensively used in Afghanistan and Libya. An improved Brimstone 2 was expected to enter service in October 2012, but problems with the new warhead from TDW and the ROXEL rocket motor put back the planned date to November 2015. MBDA is working on the targeting of swarms of small boats under the name Sea Spear.
The RAF intend to fit Brimstone to their Eurofighter Typhoons, and planned to integrate it with their Harriers until the latter were withdrawn from service in 2011. MBDA is studying the use of Brimstone on ships, attack helicopters, UAVs, and from surface launchers; it will be integrated on the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II when the F-35B enters British service. The United States, France and India have expressed interest in buying Brimstone for their aircraft, but Saudi Arabia is the only export customer as of 2015.The cost per missile has been quoted as £175,000 ($263,000) each in 2015,or 'over £100,000'.
he missile was originally supposed to be an evolution of the original laser AGM-114 Hellfire, with the laser seeker replaced by a millimetre wave (mmW) seeker. During development, virtually the entire missile was redesigned, resulting in a weapon that - other than the external shape - bears no relation to the original airframe. It is unrelated to the separate development of the mmW Hellfire for the Apache Longbow.
Brimstone has a Tandem Shaped Charge (TSC) warhead that employs a smaller initial charge, designed to initiate reactive armour, followed by a larger, more destructive charge, designed to penetrate and defeat the base armour. It has been estimated that Brimstone will be 3 times more effective than the AGM-65G Maverick missile against modern tanks, and 7 times more effective than the BL755 cluster bomb. In combat Brimstone has demonstrated accuracy and reliability "both well above 90 percent" according to the MoD Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Dalton has said that 98.3% to 98.7% of Brimstone fired in Libya "did exactly what we expected".
Hope you enjoy!

I worked on the original adaptation of the Hellfire to the millimetre wave version called "Brimstone" in 1986/87. The British mmW seeker was originally conceived for a sub munition to be deployed with Harrier and Tornado aircraft as an interdiction package for tanks moving up to the front. Unfortunately the Ministry of Defense couldn't find the funding for both the sub munition airframe AND the dispersion unit. Hellfire (AGM-114A) was deemed a potential adaptation to the mmW seeker. This piece of technology actually "imaged" a target and compared it to a stored model: It could tell the difference between a T-72 and a M-1 (or other targets). The problem was the seeker was designed to operate to the slower submunition while Hellfire motor produced a burn out of Mach 1.4.... limited the engagement scenario. The carrier air craft would make a "torpedo run" at the armor column. Marconi attempted to speed up the seeker and we tried to slow down the missile. The RAF jets were pushing Mach 0.8. There was politics involved because Rockell had been funding a two color IR seeker; Rockwell had a bad experience with mmW because of less processing power in the 1970's. I didn't expect to see the variant until I saw Apache helicopter with its "mushroom" dome. Another subplot was Hellfire A was prior to MIL-STD-1553 (digital requirements) and "A" was analog.
The British Brimstone seems to be an all inclusive missile, which is indeed necessary in today's complicated battle scenarios...well done! ;-)
And how will the helicopter get past anti aircraft defence?
martinbelmont
Helicopters don't generally fly into areas that haven't been secured from aircraft defense.
Its also being mounted on planes and iirc a ground based system is being looked into?
*****
Yes, there are plenty of videos on the missile. :\
Brimstone's entire original point is that it could be mounted on fast jets (Tornado principally, Harrier was cleared but never carried, Typhoon integration underway at present). Helicopter trials are only underway now as is integration on the Certifiable Predator B (the new Reapers the UK is buying). Ground based systems were exhibited in mockup for the TRACER programme but seem to have gone nowhere.
"Hellfire" and "Brimstone"... great names with a similar themes. Good vid!
Roystone Szweda haha yeah I like the naming! It's a name which shows they are packing a deadly punch! ;-) thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed the video! Have a great weekend!!

The British are good at naming military things.
Good on you Brit's for moving the game forward
James P thanks for watching!!
+Matsimus Gaming where's my hello he got one.
Yep, but we both stole radar from the germans and the CIWS type systems were on Russian ships ten years before us...
10-8 Outdoors you do realise that a British company BAE systems makes a shit load of stuff for the American military? In fact BAE systems does more business with the US than the uk
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't it say in the video that brimstone product is contracted out to the American company manufacturing them ?
We know it s our opinion. Frankly I love the Brits and their advances and this is no exception. Brimstone is a very useful weapon and certainly has its place.
I don't understand why people are getting so upset over a ridiculous thing about the country of origin of a particular military tech. The British and Americans both produce exemplary equipment and have the greatest relations compared to other nations. I'm sure they share massive amounts of intelligence, equipment and often engage in joint ventures. I am sure we are not even privy to half the secret projects that are passed between two great nations. Why argue, and nit pick over origins? So one country may design the the equipment, while the other country provides proven tech or creates some major components for that piece of hardware. The US and England are close allies and friends. So stop bickering over such a tiny thing.
@ mn gaming, crawl back to your dwelling you unfunny troll.
go back to your shit page .
MN Gaming & Tutorials you have no idea what you're talking about. US tanks armor isn't just air. Its extremely classified when it comes down to the actual armor on the Abrams. Its mostly depleted uranium and reactive armor. But the newest model M1A3 is supposed to be switching armor to some kind of new metal foam. So it will be better armored and lots of weight lighter it moves faster and more agile now. Plus a lot of other upgrades. So not that any of this info even has anything to do with the video. But the Abrams is a proven and bad ass tank and a juggernaut on the battlefield.
Bob Smith's LOL, I know right that's funny. Its just hard not to correct these idiotic Russian trolls. I would be willing to bet that 85% of the weapons we design are intended to counter Russia. So my point is i think were covered. We knew that tank was coming for years. So if we were concerned that our Abrams tanks couldn't handle the situation. We would have designed a new tank by now. Were good
You must be new to YT then. The comment section on military vids is usually the best bit
Worked on the R+D of Brimstone in the early 90'S when I worked for Marconi defence systems. An excellent weapon with a good kill zone. Well worth all of the long days and nights sorting out the issues we faced.
Thanx for your service. These days, wars are fought by weapons development engineers and scientists. Greetings from Finland.
Guy on the motorcycle= worst---holiday----ever.

Only Russians go on holiday with RPG's on their back, usually in Ukraine.

The Apache is flown by British Army pilots, not the RAF
yes but he meant for the euro fighters.
Im positive the marines have them as well so they'll e flow by naval pilots also.

*The Brimstone is indeed a fantastic weapon!!* *Thanks for the exceptional review! ;-)*
Matsimus I love to watch your videos,they are educational,interesting,well sourced and most importantly You are not biased in any way!! Pure information on the subject without any national,political and other stuff of that kind. Keep up the great work!!
I'll never forget the day I was sat in my room with the window open. All of a sudden I could hear a deep chopping noise and it was getting louder. I knew it was a low flying helicopter so I stuck my head out. Next thing I knew TWO Apache helicopters flew over my house. Scared the shit out of me and awed me at the same time.
This was a few years back, around about the time of the no fly zone in Libya. I'm assuming they were being moved to an airbase to be shipped to Libya.
TruePrinceOfWales wow i wish a apache would fly over my house
Apaches and chinooks used to fly near me a while ago
TruePrinceOfWales i live next to a small military base, no helicopters as there's no landing spots but one day i also shit one seeing an apache land in there lol
it is shameful that NATO invaded a sovereign country Libya to steal its resources.
Freddy Krueger same could be said for you invading my dreams freddy
Really love and appreciate the content, much respect to you for the respect given to the respective countries and technologies, keep the good stuff coming
Brimstone is a hellfire missile fuelled by tea.
Bet it’s not Earl Grey.
@Baxter James Dumb but still effective.
Again I love the quality and style of the video editing Matsimus! It's like you have been doing this for years! Really deserves a lot of credit, I really hope the channel continues to grow! I enjoy catching up on a few of your videos when I get a chance from work! Where do you get your combat footage from? Hope you are well mate.
Gabriel Butler thanks mate :-) glad you liked it! Take care and stay tuned :)
Love the jazzy lounge background music as the narrator waxes nostalgic for tanks... "I love tanks..." This tickles me to no end.
I'm here more for the military aspect of your video content, keep up the great content
Kam Williams thanks so much :-) really glad you like it!!
Good video man, new Sub here. It really is scary, how easy it is in which armour can be taken out with these kind of systems now, I think in the years ahead we will see more automated armoured vehicles.
michael gentleman hey thanks so much for the sub! And for watching!! I can't tell you how much it is appreciated to get good feedback from my subs :-) and yeah it's really scary for sure. Thanks again for watching and have a great day!! (Check out some of my new tank videos!)
The new samurai sword hellfire is brilliant! No collateral damage , no warhead, but rather 4 swords that come out and do safe eliminating while avoiding anyone else around. A beauty!
I love the military videos. Keep up the great work. Please make more videos like these.
Nice review - and yup, I also agree, the OOB is going to be changing rapidly over the coming decade or two
jtc120880 thanks :-D glad you liked it my friend :) have a good weekend
Nice review, I agree, but someone's gonna be pissed off their brand new white Toyota has a hole in it :o
SiliconBong haha epic!!
The really great plus that the Brimstone brings to the table is that it simplifies logistics a great deal. In the Cold War, fixed-wing aircraft would usually have larger, long-range missiles like the Maverick while helicopters had to make do with smaller, less powerful, and much shorter-legged SACLOS missiles (TOW, Shturm, etc). That's two separate supply chains to be maintained during wartime. With the Brimstone, you get a missile that is compact enough to fit on any vehicle (fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, even tracked ground vehicles) but with features you'd normally only find with larger, dedicated aircraft missiles. Modern technology means that despite the small warhead you can do a disproportionate amount of damage, while propulsion is also much more efficient and enables the missile to have a range that its size normally wouldn't justify. The small size also enables larger platforms like planes to carry much more missiles than they would if they carried Maverick-type weapons, and with a smaller aerodynamic penalty too. Finally, the dual-mode seeker means that the Brimstone not only has superior all-weather capability (thanks to the radar), it also means that it's much harder to jam because it uses two different methods of guidance and fuses the data from the two to determine where it needs to go.
In short, it may be expensive, but it is worth every penny due to the logistics savings and superior combat effectiveness. However it is not a weapon to hunt insurgents with, it is a weapon to hunt massed tank formations. That is its raison d'etre, not chasing turbanhead motorbikes. That's what cannons and APKWS are for.
I would bet the Ukrainians could get it working for a pick up in fairly shorter order
So not just tracked ground vehicles.
@@chrisjones7236 Actually the Ukrainians are already using Brimstone mounted on special vans
I like your informative and discussion-oriented kind of approach.
Subbed... keep it up ;)
Great Channel great content great delivery. Always very informative. Thank you
10:14 daaaaaamn, flying aircraft carrier xd 14:29 still flying, daaaaaaamn
£100,000 per missile and they couldn't animate the wake...
Lol
@@jackhudner3804 Couldn't even make sure the hull was in the water!
Its still amazing to me how you can get a small missile fire from 10 kilometers away, fly faster than the speed of sound, and contain all the seekers and guidance software to successfully track and impact a target literally within an inch of where it wants to go. Admittedly there might be a bias to show it as better than it is, but in all the videos I've seen it hits right in the center with an inch or two deviation max and frankly I doubt anyone would waste that much time and money to display it as hitting within the inch rather than to within 2-3 inches. Its absurd, its accurate enough to hit you in the eye with the speed of a bullet from 20 kilometers as well as tracking, ranking, and picking its own targets independent of any other systems.
You do recognize that this is a marketing video? And that its CGI? Of course they show it hitting accurately. Even if it was real footage, they would only show the accurate shots even if those were 1 in 100.
your getting very personal
It was real footage. The tests are so amazingly expensive that if it didn't hit within the inch (every single time) then they wouldn't bother to redo them. There is no real tactical advantage to hitting within a few inches of the aim point vs hitting within 2 feet of the aim point, both are able to do everything desired. After all theres a reason why they don't really record if the missile is capable of less than 1 meter of accuracy, and usually go beyond. Finally western manufacturers don't tend to lie like that. If anything they've often been conservative with their numbers. After all when someone gets the weapon if they've been sold a lie they remember it and go to a manufacturer they can trust will deliver the capabilities desired. Unknowns are far worse than poor capability in the military sphere.
Also weapons with that level of accuracy are pretty much always laser guided. Indeed you wouldn't fire the missile against a hospital anyway and its unlikely to be very accurate due to the way the seeker works. The same is true of the Maverick, though for different reasons - it can be fired against large targets like buildings or open ground but the accuracy and risk is dramatically worse. Lasers give the operator far more precision, dramatically less risk, and the ability to change the aim point all the way through the missile's guidance. Indeed I can't think of any fire and forget (self guiding) missile with that level of accuracy, much less one which can be fired from over a hill, first spotting the target mid flight, determining which target is which type of vehicle and then striking only the desired targets all whilst retaining that level of accuracy. Its genuinely special in the missile world. Likely as a result of its young age and computing advances, but nonetheless its special.
Think about what all is in your cellphone, and most of that size comes from the screen
@@markdoldon8852 :- Marketing video aside...the images of missile hits are real.
The last part of the video does show an animated version of the missiles' capabilities, but I think we all worked that out.
I also don't believe that Super Mario is a real person. LOL.!!
This is another great video by Matsimus. A thought for future vehicles would be the m-113 (old, yes but a LOT of those still in active service), the Stryker (in whatever configuration), and the vulcan gun system.
Great video. I was a UH-1H then OH-58Di and A/M-6 Little Bird mechanic in the US Army for 13 years. I joined in 1993. I’m glad they have the AH-64 kinks worked out. When I was in it was a maintenance nightmare to keep flying. The OH-58Di was $2500 an hour maintenance to fly the AH-64 was $15000 an hour. The Apache guys always complained how hard it was to stay above 70% OR rate while we got bitched at for going below 95%. It was insane the hiccups it had. So happy they are more reliable now, because they are sexy birds when they fly.
Well just mix the two types and call it Preacher loadout. Hellfire and Brimstone is what you get when you anger him.
Great video and I think I would be very worried if I were a member of any tank crew. This is a fantastic weapon although, as you say, there are probably many nations developing similar and maybe better ordnance. Basically it is one of quite a few game changers. Thanks for a super video I have subscribed as I look forward to more incredible shows
drew walker-armitage thanks so much :-) yeah I would be nervous if I knew I was in the same battle as units that carry these things coming for me. At least it would be a VERY quick death lol. Thanks so much for watching! Feel free to share on social media and such :-) it would be most appreciated. Thanks again and have a great day! (Love your avatar by the way!!)
There's a few really cool features that are overlooked, but this was a really comprehensive breakdown of the Brimstone key selling points.
Love your intro with the Roman Centurion gives me chills every time I see it.
If I were going to be eliminated I hope I'm worth a whole entire missile to myself.
It's certainly a clever bit of kit.
Anyone else think it looks like that aircraft carrier is hovering above the water in the CGI vid?
Is it based on the Avengers carrier?
Really good video m8, and good commentary keep them coming!
Peter F thank you very much :-) means a lot. Have a good day!
Great video. I’m an American. If the US isn’t already working on a Hellfire upgrade or replacement with similar or better capabilities I think we should order and use the Brimstone II. It would actually be useful on the F-35’s. They could creat special racks to fit as many as they can in the bays. These weapons would be really effective. We could purchase a large stockpile and use up our hellfire stockpile first unless a real combat situation occurs with a near peer.
just gotta say 11/10 for the channel intro with the , Spartan? rly good
Actually that was supposed to be Democles a Roman centurion and this specific intro is from Ryse son of Rome, take a look at the game if you had't already, it is kick ass.
You can clearly see that he's wearing late, roman armor.
i like how his name is "ares" implying he knows something about greek history
And then you hear his voice
Bob Woss ikr actually forgot I had commented on this fml,
When I see how this rocket destroy a few tents i remember what Gorge Bush says about one rocket and tent cost 10 dollars.
Ah but if it's an American tent it could be thousands.
Gordon Lawrence lol
what the fuck u on about u crack head
Around £100,000 each.
The battle value does not so much come from a destroyed tent but from what is believed to be inside that tent.
Thanks for your service mate BRITISH FORCES ,,from Australia
Recently enjoyed your post thanks 🙏🏼 then I realised you volunteered to protect us/me 🇬🇧 Thank you for your SERVICE BROTHER ✌🏼 ☮️✌🏼
Haha! Now I get it! The Yanks have their "Hellfire." The Brits have their "Brimstone." "Hellfire and Brimstone," get it?? Hahahahaha!
Damn Straight!
Now that you point it out....
I don't get it 🤔
Fun fact: brimstone is just referring to sulfur (or maybe rock that consists of lots of it)
Your sense of humor is far below Bill Burr's.
Biggest issue with helicopters, is Russians counters include IGLA manpads, TOR-M1, Tunguska and BUK complexes. Even Armata got Ground-Air capabilities and doppler radar. I would focus on improving MBTLAW, which kinda underwhelming now compared to Russian Kornet or Javelin
Bat Hell standoff range on these are 7.5 miles. If an apache gets closer than that to a threat, comand screwed up. The weapon would not be at fault if a crew was lost.
Igla is top notch
Standoff is way, way more than 7.5m. Brimstone 2, which has recently had IOC has a range of over 60km from jets, over 40km from Helos.
60 would still be in range of Russian sams. The only stand of is a cruise missile
This is why you first focus on defeating AA, then you go in with aircraft.
Just found this channel. Love your content! Been hard to find someone narrating and explaining. As opposed to someone just putting up a slideshow, slapping a crappy soundtrack and saying "this is best". I respect your neutral stance on all of your videos aswell. It stops it from being a "This thing is better than that thing, I know because I am from the internet and therefore know more than the designers or users of the - insert subject matter here -" type of video.
Laughed a couple of times when you pronounced algorithm I have to say though! Great videos, cheers man!
Nice. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks
mmm the 40 km range of that missile seems really good , i think using that apaches will be able to fire at standoff ranges away from many enemy missiles that may target the helicopter , hhaha nice coverage of the video bro :D
by the way bro , tanks actually are very viable now , thanks to high tech , tanks now days have APS systems that intercept things like the brimstone in mid flight , some of them have jammers, others are stealth , etc, tanks are still a thing an :D they just need the propper updates
No way that missile this size will reach 40 km :D
12-15 km max is way more realistic.
xmeda well it does seem far but that's what they are saying lol! Thanks for watching :-)
@TJ Murphy that is an interesting point. I wander how many other missile manufacturers cheating that way.
They should test it on the EU session building.
As early as possible !!!
Thanks for posting this. I didn't realise it was quite as flexible a system as this - more like just an updated Brit Hellfire. I say "just"...the later AGM114R Hellfires are not that far away from these capabilities.
Thanks
Great video.
"Nervous as a tanker".
Makes me nervous as an X navy patrol boat sailor.

Weapon systems like these are the future, but also bring up the very important aspect of cost. As technology used in warfare becomes smarter the costs tend to rise immensely. Where as WW2 took years, any sort of conventional (so non nuclear) war would be decided in a manner of day to a few weeks at maximum as both sides would just run out of equipment and smart weapons to deploy. Industrial might does not really come into play as it takes far to much time to rebuild and rearm a modern day militairy. The days when a factory could just pump out multiple planes or tanks a day are long gone. This is also why it is so critical to have large enough stockpiles and this issue has become all to clear in recent conflicts like Libia where allied forces had to ask to the US to supply them because they where running out of ammunition.
The price of fighting becomes ever higher, the Apache might cost you 30-60mil depending on the variant, they can come back from a mission have spend 3+million in ammunition. These are costs often under estimated I find by people as everyone seems so hung up on the price of things like tanks and jets and what not, but tend to forget how much it all costs to keep them in operation in peacetime and gods forbid in wartime.
An other funny example is how the story was there that the US Navy would not buy the rounds for the guns on their new destroyers because at 800,000USD they where a bit expensive, but if you compare that to a Harpoon anti ship missile it is almost a bargain considering those cost 1.2mil a piece or perhaps Tomahawks which will cost you 1.6mil. There is a good reason why the US militairy and others are looking so much at things like railguns and Lasers, the cost of these units might be high, but they are dirt cheap to actually fire.
So bringing that all back to tanks etc do missiles like these make them obsolete? Na they won't sure might make live hell for them for a few years until some one figures out how to deal with them. It is the classic case of projectile vs protection and so far protection tends to be a lot cheaper than the projectiles. Also if you throw enough stuff out there for them to shoot at, they might just run out of the things, as the old soviet doctrine says "At a certain point Quantity has a Quality all of it's own."
Me I am hoping I never need to be on either side of these weapon systems.
i heard the US military was looking into buying this missle from the UK.
US military is developing the Joint-Air-to-Ground-Missile. The JAGM is very similar
That Intro with the Warrior gets me everytime ☺️ Best Intro in the UA-cam-Game😎
Thanks for your channel as a U.S. Army and Iraq War Combat Veteran, I salute you as a fellow Veteran and I commend you for all the good info and knowledge from your channel. Something that I will like to see is a comparison video of the German and French Tiger attack helicopter variants and their upgraded weapon systems and sub-variants. I'm returning into scale modeling hobby as a great therapy and your channel has been a lot of inspiration and reference material for my model kit vehicle builds variations, and the German and French Tiger attack helicopters are my next two projects. thank you I appreciate all your work and Info, Sgt. Ramirez Edwin.
1st 2 minutes. Where is the Earth-shattering Kaboom?
During development and testing, they very often won't use live ammunition for a number of reasons. Firstly it is comparatively easy to make a warhead that can disable vehicles, the revolutionary aspect of this missile is the accuracy and fire & forget aspects which need to be tested thoroughly. Therefore there is no real need to see the explosion for most of the testing, the only thing that matters is if the missile hit the target. Another obvious reason is that live ammunition is very expensive, there is an economical aim to no using live warheads.
Genuinely lol'd seeing the bike being destroyed with a brimstone. Honestly, you want to advertise it against tanks, not pick-up trucks and bicycles.
Alexander Sokolnik haha agreed it is pretty comical
Alexander Sokolnik it's more about its speed and tracking, not its designated target.
The ability to hit multiple fast moving targets is pretty handy.
Currently being tested on ships and the typhoon.
The motorcycle is a small, manoeuvrable target with a correspondingly small heat and radar signature. A hard target to track and hit.
@@attaat I doubt it was tested on moving bikes. Some anime footage do not measure battle capabilities after all.
Hi Matsimus. I really appreciate what you are doing with these videos: particularly the ones that help get Steel Beasts out there in front of potential enthusiasts/players. I have to say this is one of your best yet.
The Americans could really do with fielding Brimstone 2 having repeatedly cancelled attempts to create a similar missile (JAGM). They are now in a bit of a pickle because, having relied on the CBU-105 Sensor Fuzed Weapon, the manufacturer of that system, Textron, has now abandoned it, stating that ceasing manufacture will make its shares more ownable by people and organisations with ethical restrictions on investment. As it was the CBU-105 is a very inflexible system which imposes an attack profile on the launch aircraft that would be suicidal if used against the most likely opponents - nor can it be updated in flight should an enemy formation change direction. Maverick is bigger, heavier and far more restricted in various ways - you get a choice of lock on before launch IIR or semi active laser homing. There is no autonomous lock on after launch option on any in service maverick. The Legacy Brimstone has been used in multi target attack mode (from Wiki):
[The single-mode missile was not fired in combat until 15 September 2011 when a pair of RAF Tornado GR4 of IX(B) Squadron fired 22 missiles (including a salvo of 12 by one aircraft) against an armoured column near Sebha/Sabha, 400 miles south of Tripoli.]
This video of the surface launched anti fast attack craft variant is interesting - the USN is meant to be getting ex US Army MMW HELLFIRE's to perform a similar role on the Littoral Combat Ships:

Chris Werb thank you so so much for your kind words and support. It really does mean a lot and I appreciate it!! Some great info and points there! I just hope we are able to keep up with the arms race that we seemed to have slipped into again. Thanks again for watching and feel free to share the video around in social media and such! :-D Have a wonderful day!!
Nice keep up the great Amazing work! Brimstone 2 Amazing!
3:43 that beautiful machine winked for the camera
I love the gray paint scheme of the apache, see army sky gray trees dont fly except in Oklahoma.
One of the first things I learned when I started designing ATGMs >30 years ago is that I would never want to be anywhere near a tank on a battlefield.
Well done very well layed out I must say you so courteous
Combat tested in 3rd world countries with ex soviet equipment. I am sure with it state of the art features and range you were not really in danger.
Now if you went up against the S400 system and survived then I assume it would be combat tested. Nonetheless I applauded your service.
And exactly what combat testing has the S400 done? Highly likely against ex Soviet equipment aswell lol.
Or, before the stealth aircraft are taken out. They did it with 1960's tech, so why not do it with modern systems?
Good joke... people still think, shooting down ONE jet out of 1500 occasions is an accomplishment. Especially if it hasn't been ordinary at all.
>stealth aircraft
1. there are no stealth aircraft in the world, which can hide from long-wave radar, modern stealth aircraft can trick only shorter wave radars, like on SPAAGs and some mid-range SAM launchers.
2. HARM, which is obviously the best western ARM, has a maximum range of 100km, if launched from high altitude. 20km for low altitude. S400 has 600km detection range and 400km missile range. Of course, 600km is for giants like b-52/C-130, but L-wave radar can be added to S400 radar network, which can detect 0.1 m^2 target at 240km (still more then HARM range, huh) AND will give enough accuracy to missile (older L-wave radars could only detect stealth aircraft, but not to aim the missile)
Also, if the stealth aircraft will use low altitude to get closer,using ground as cover from radar, there is 9M100 with up to 40km range with IR lock-on, combined with guidance to target area. Also, S400 can be used with passive seeking devices, which search for plane radar,communication and ECM emitting. So, even alone S400 is not an easy target
Defeats all possible ERA and APS... Are they implying this missile is more hard to kill than a tank's sabot round? What does it do? Pulls super high-G evasive maneuvers while going hypersonic? One needs to be a bit more critical about what's being said in an advertisement cartoon. Having a high off-boresight capability coupled with a millimeter wave length radar for better accuracy is great, but it hardly helps with penetrating the defensive perimeter.
Get Sideways I'm sorry you didn't like the information presented to you in this video. It was just to inform people it exists and it's rough capabilities. Thanks for watching
Matsimus Gaming Well, I didn't like not the information itself, but rather the conclusion you made that tanks are doomed just because of this missile. There are so many ways one could come up with to defeat it, really. It may be the best or at least close to that AT missile at the moment, I could agree with that. Probably. But what exactly does make it an absolute weapon? It's not even Mach 2. Still too early to dismiss tanks completely, I'd say.
Get Sideways
As someone who watches your videos for tank content this is spooky, well good for a Halloween
Wow beautiful information , British Brimstone and Hellfire rockets looks like the same power , I Love it .
Lots of anti fracticide measures. Safe to sell to the US. ;-)
You don't think countermeasure suites fitted to armour could defeat missile threats?
I personally don't see the tank going for quite some time - e.g. 50-100 years.
Because if a tank can't survive, what can?
The question of whether tanks are needed again - if a tank can't survive what can?
As the most survivable and most destructive ground platforms around, you're always going to want at least a battalion or two of tanks if you can afford them.
Tanks may end up like todays combat aircraft - super expensive and rarely used in their intended roles but you'd have to keep some - just in case someone else has some.
jtan163
Mark Bradley yes?
jtan163
jtan163 It all depends on which 'expert' you talk to as to the armour defense packages and the missile manufactorer what works and doesn't. I was looking forward to hearing and seeing more of the T14 Amatas capabilities. But Russia is only building 55 of the things and they are scheduled never to leave russia.
It would have been great for it to get a complete work out in say Syria. And to see what it can do in comparesson to say the Windbreaker system from Israel
@@okbutthenagain.9402 Yeah! Because IKEA doesn't want the West to know that they are helping the Russians with new flat-pack (MHDFFFALS) Modular High Density Fiberboard with a Formica Fake Armour Layer System. So Russia agreed to keep their 'mobile kitchen unit', tanks at home. Don't want them doing their normal thing of catching fire and burning the woodwor... umm I mean 'armour' whilst in Syria trying to look menacing....Now that would look silly!
a UK Apache will never see a Brimstone Missiles cuz the UK Apache will not be used for much longer were moving on to the Wildcat MK1 witch all ready uses Brimstone Missiles
what next gen Apache were have u got that were even buying it from and the ones the uk have now are made on licenses so they got different stuff on it
well thats bull we dont give thing such shit names as E model so what ur saying isnt true
Zods muffin you're wrong. UK is Tagging the order onto US army production run hence AH64E. Some elements such as the self-protection suite will be refurbished and carried over from WAH64D but the new build aircraft will essentially be the same as the US army's. This means AAC can tap into the much larger US army supply chain making the maintenance costs lower.
no ur very wrong all the apaches we have have bin made in the uk by westland so were did u get that fact from link plz
zods muffin The MOD announced the purchase of 50 new Boeing built AH64Es worth 2.3 billion dollars on 11/07/16 www.gov.uk/government/news/mod-orders-new-fleet-of-cutting-edge-apache-helicopters-for-army
The AW159 Wildcat when used by UK will be a utility/light attack/scout (AAC) or shipborne ASW/ASuW (RN) not a dedicated "gunship"
Great video, thanks.
Crazy what they have these days. Back in World War Two things were different that’s for sure.
I’m glad I’m on the US/UK & allies side of things.
Great video. Thumbs up. 👍
What does that even mean?
APS, ERA and advanced composite armor. I don't think tanks will go extinct anytime soon.
There are currently no APS systems that protect from a top down attack, and neither ERA nor composites generally cover the top. Not to mention advanced tandem warheads go straight through. Several European nations are debating retiring tanks as obsolete. They've faired very poorly in recent conflicts.
@@TheInfamousMrFox There has been no recent large scale conflicts over the years, most are against rebels or extremists waging guerilla tactics in urban environments, tanks are meant for the open fields. A perfect example is how US basically blitzkrieged Iraq with combined arms tactics. Tanks engaged enemy armor and sieged fortifications from a distance while mechanized infantry closed in.
@@13thSystem Not true. Most of the drive to retire obsolete tanks comes from studying large scale engagments. Most specifically, the Gulf war where most tank kills were by missile armed IFV's which could engage at much longer ranges than a tank.
@@TheInfamousMrFox Yeah the gulf war was the war US learned IFVs can't replace tanks due to the losses. Most US vehicle losses in the Gulf war were ICVs and IFVs due to inadequate armor and forcing roles they weren't supposed to be doing. In comparison no Abrams were lost to enemy fire. Also a main factor why there were more Abrams/non ATGM equipped LAVs and less Bradleys in Iraq, the war that came after the gulf war.
@@13thSystem Are you just making up bollocks now? Only 3 Bradleys were lost to enemy fire in the entire Iraq war compared to 2 Abrams.
Several European nations are abandoning tanks as obsolete, including the British who both invented them and lead the world in tank technology.
The US marine corp is also abandoning it's Abrams for roughly the same reasons.
Great video. Sorry you have to spend so much time announcing disclaimers to accommodate ultra-sensitive Russian trolls.
Thanks John!! 👍
Agree with your opinion on tanks and the future of tanks in warfare. Surprisingly no country seems willing to stop manufacturing and deploying them. From one veteran to another a heartfelt thanks for your service!
If you look back people have been prophesying the end of the tank since WWII. The Chieftain really did seem like the end of the road till some clever and crafty buggers invented Chobham. With the new tank layouts being considered there is far more option for almost doubling the armour thickness (due to far less requirement for crew space and none needed in the turret) and it is entirely possible the high power short range LIDAR guided defense system that every man and his dog has been working on might work, or someone thinks of something completely different and new. It has been a game of leapfrog for near 100 years with tanks.
patrick reilly thank you so much for your kind words! And I think they will be around for a lot longer than we think! Haha! Which for me I think is great haha!
Beautiful CG
Oh...don't...well here we go...
*Missiles VS Tanks*
-First thing to note is that the average ATGM takes up to 20 seconds to arrive at a target that is 5 km away (Brimstone takes 11 seconds and has a max range of 60 km from a fixed wing plane) remember most all tanks have systems to detect a missile being aimed at them. (oftentimes showing from where the ATGM is coming and sometimes even automaticly rotating the turret to face the ATGM).
-Nearly all tanks have Active Protection Systems that can blind laser guided ATGMs, confuse heat seeking ATGMs or even shoot down the incoming ATGM. (and fooling radar is nothing too hard either).
-Not to mention there is still armor to go through and we all know how bad HEAT is at killing modern armor...
-Another thing to note is that nearly all small air bombs and missiles can be effectively shredded into pieces by a C-RAM station or a similar system. Whereas you can't counterfire a SABOT. (for now)
*Air vs Tanks*
-Aircraft tend to be like 10 times as expensive as tanks...do I have to say anything else ?
Tadeas Kollar lol. No you are 100% right. Well done.
Tadeas Kollar .. No they don't.. Not many tanks have radar.
Nick Turner You don't necessarily need a radar.
Saft kill systems usually detect only the guidance mechanism of the ATGM (so enemy laser or radar) and then try to disrupt it. Tanks that use saft kill systems are for example the T-90, Challenger 2 or Abrams.
Hard kill systems usually need a radar because they are trying to destroy the enemy ATGM by shooting it and most tanks that use hard kill systems like the Merkava or Armata *have a radar.*
But technically you can also detect enemy projectiles with IR cameras or with some laser grid gizmo things...
Tadeas Kollar ..erm... No they don't.
Nick Turner They do...the radar on the Merkava for example is the EL/M-2133 Wind Guard...The T-90 on the other hand uses a laser warning system to detect ATGMs...
Using a $100,000.00 missile to blowup a pickup truck? Try a $30,000.00 APKWs guided rocket or get closer and use a few $300.00 30 mm cannon rounds.
I didn't see any Stingers in that pick up truck. Not many in Afghanistan or Iraq either in the past several years.
Pilot obviously flew over enemy territory this promotional video is a wishful thinking
yes they are ridicoulosly expensive and they have to see a way to bring the price down. cuz that weapon is an enemy worst nightmare.you need it.
i saw a video of saudi apache gunner saying the enemy in yemen hiding inside a small building is not worth the missile so he used the gun.
then the commander comes on radio and tells him don't worry about it shoot him with the missile.
so it is an issue sometimes
rakanMR
how is 300 dollars per bullet for a minigun better?
Because an Apache gunner would have to use over 330 cannon shells to equal the cost of a single Hellfire missile. If he is a good shot he would need 10 or 20 at the most to pop a pickup. Money doesn't grow on trees.
Ahh, good old hellfire and brimstone. Name a fucking more iconic duo, I’m waiting
It's your channel mate truth is what it is. I live in California near Edwards A.B. for a week or saw saw a British Tornado and a Euro fighter flying low over the mountains here along with F.A. 18
Defuq, who would fire a missile on a Motorcycle going in a straight path? o.O
leepailong123 HAHA I guess a very dumb pilot??
its a multi role missile with a competent tracking system, its the AK of missiles but it have nothing special honestly, its no game changer, its just a bit better than the predecessor and probably way overpriced
Bernardo Grando yeah that's true. I was more just interested in the fact of how it might fair up to modern countermeasures and vehicle protection systems. Pretty amazing stuff. Thanks son much for watching :-)
Really good piece of equipment British Engineering ! Bravo !
Awesome piece of equipment.
With modern air-power, seems to me that tanks are as outdated as battleships!
Alan Thomas then explain why Russia and all other countries are constantly updating their tank fleets? explain to me why you're opinion is smarter and more thought out than the US pentagon staff? explain to me why the mainstay of armored vehicles are constantly used? if air power is so good, how come the drone strikes aren't accomplishing much in the middle east? answer those questions and do some more research and think more thoroughly before you go on the Internet and portray yourself as a fool.
The argument works both ways, air targets can be taken out just as easily as ground targets. Whats your solution we all resort back to linear warfare?
IIRC there is now a movement in the pentagon slowly moving towards the idea of using a universal chassis for troop transport and 120mm gun in a new battlegroup formation to reduce numbers of non fighting soldiers, weight and supply lines due to the heavy tanks of today running into issues.
The mainstay of armor is slowly turning to the universal IFV platform, away from the dedicated tank in most countries.
Drone strikes in the middle east are being done badly, they have little to no controls applied so are killing the wrong people.
Air power is also the thing thats being questioned now in the pentagon, with ADN coverage, artillery(something russia has always relied on) is starting to claw its way back to king of the field if the most recent pentagon document releases are to go by.
All this leads to the need for speed and lack of supply lines, something full MBTs cause an issue for.
*****
Killing the wrong people happens extremely rarely given how many drone strike there are so that is complete and utter bullshit.
Collateral damage often happens due to poor intel about civilians in the area of effect and the use of over powered weapons when a more precise munition is required and this is often due to hellfire being used by the US when a more precise weapon like brimstone could be used but the US do not want to buy weapons made in the UK they would rather make or use their own no matter how outdated or ineffective they are for the task.
The effectiveness of the MBt entirely depends on the situation and terrain, IFVs are becoming used more frequently because of the conflicts in recent years such as afganistan which is a mountainous region where large tanks cannot go and need much lighter vehicles. Less major countrys adopt IFVs and universal platforms simply because they are more cost effective considering their small budgets.
If MBTs were no longer effective major countrys would not continue to construct and research and develop new ones so the opinion of arm chair generals opinions on the matter is somewhat irrelevant.
eraldorh you must be an idiot to think that every time a missile is fired from a drone a terrorist is killed.
Fast forward to 4:30
Thank me later.
Freddy Krueger thanks........
*GREAT EXAMPLES, AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE THESE MISSILES WORK ON MOST PLATFORMS WITH THE USE OF HELICOPTERS AND OR JET FIGHTERS--REGARDLESS OF THE COUNTRY USING THEM.*
*MUCH APPRECIATED!! ;-)*
GOOD video THANK YOU.
100000 pounds per unit for one armored vehicles.... the worst ratio money/kill ever...

Stop repeating unbiased view. We got ya and it’s all going unmanned like Ukraine now 🇬🇧🇳🇿🇫🇰🏴🌏🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🌎🌍
Sure lol 😂😂 whatever you say big man
Amazing footage of those missiles!
Its not 'footage', it is VIDEO GAME captures
The Brimstone is the evolution of the Hellfire missile . With its supersonic speed as you stated will make it more lethal to attack tanks with APS . It is a very good design when the missile can be used on multiple platforms . Good luck in the Canadian armed forces for 2018 . Your tank will love the cold weather in Canada . You will have to teach him to play hockey .
How the fuck does a car compare to a frigging tank, ARE YOU KIDDING ME, might as well use a frigging pea shooter
THINK before you type. You're seeing testing done on a range in 99% of these clips. They're evaluating the accuracy etc not the ability to destroy a tank. Warhead evaluation is done different. Notice how many are dud warheads? Lets you shoot the target more times and makes evaluating of the accuracy easier too.
Now it is killing Russians! Bahahahahahahahahaha
Enjoyed the informative video on Brimstone, but would also like to pass on my compliments on the use of your own video intro featuring the Centurion of questionable health. Did you make the clip or was it made for you? Either way it's exceptionally good. Hats off.
Hello, Matsimus. I watch several of your videos, Which are very objective. I analyzed your assessments, there is nothing to fear about missile against tanks. At the end of the day in any conflict defence wins the game. Also, any Army has to control the ground. Her comes into play the tanks an infantry man. Look at the frustration to control Chechnya and Afghanistan. Afghanistan goes into a 40 years old war. Why? You need the troops in the ground. I am, just like you, retired . I was a freedom fighter once, also a tank crewman.
As a matter of further background, the province were I come from is still with a military government after 59 years of communism in Cuba. My province is called the legendary Camaguey. I do not know if it is because the province feed all the Cubans, they can win wars without it or because we didn't have slaves.
Coming back to the Armor, there has always been defence against air attacks, specially low altitude aircraft. I think the days of the helicopter as we know it, is over. I recall anti-chopper tanks in the seventies. The anti aircraft tank was a double barrel that shot 6 accumulated proyectiles in succession. The color was beautiful, brilliant white, almost blue, it was very fast. Thi kind of weapon are or will be updated to accompany tanks battalions for protection.
Finally, just like you, I hope that we don't have another War. Most people look at it like a video game. People today , generally, are insensitive about the fallen ones in their quest for freedom. Also I want to emphasize that the Tank as in a chess game will always be the Beast.
Sincerely, and most thankful for your insightful videos. Please, never stop.
Afterthought: Somebody will find a way to protect the Beast.
You're rambling on far too much. Keep things concise and only focus on the main point.
Makes me proud to supply components for MBDAs products
Honestly, in it's original mission, I can't see there's anything better than Brimstone.
Throw 18 at an armour column and now there's no column.
Outside of cluster bombs which are kinda illegal now nothing touches Brimstone.
Not in it's smart swarming mode
Love the background music
Our beloved British allie did a great job on this one. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
