Screen grab from a video by MBDA showing a live-fire test of the Brimstone.
The Russian military has destroyed one of the Brimstone precision-guided missile launchers recently supplied to Kiev forces by the UK.
On July 10, RIA Novosti released a video showing the destruction of the launcher. Three heavy artillery rockets struck the launcher, which was camouflaged as a civilian truck, right after it fired a salvo of three Brimstone missiles on an unspecified front.
In April, the UK pledged to supply Ukraine with hundreds of ground-launched Brimstone missiles. The Brimstone missiles supplied to Kiev forces were of the first generation which utilizes an active millimetric-wave radar seeker and an inertial navigation system.
The maximum range of the ground-launched version of the Brimstone is unknown, but the air-launched version can reportedly hit targets more than 20 kilometers away. The missile is armed with a 6,3 kilograms tandem shaped charge warhead.
The launcher seen in the video was reportedly developed by the UK specifically for Kiev forces, by simply bolting a triple Brimstone launcher rack used on aircraft onto the back of a truck.
The first use of the Brimstone missile by Kiev forces was documented in the Donbass region in May. During the same month, Russian military captured a nearly intact Brimstone missile, which failed seconds after being launched near one of the frontlines in Zaporizhzhia oblast.
The Brimstone is without a doubt a lethal precision-guided missile. However, it has not made any real impact on the battlefield since it was first fielded by Kiev forces.
Very good russia keep absolutely pulverizing western JUNK!!!!
Russians are doing very well in the current circumstances and are really on the offensive as Indian generals have said, “the next iron fist will be very destructive for Ukrainian Nazis”. Ukraine has turned all of India against it by mistreating our students. JAI RUS!
Russia needs to take the gloves off,destroy all railways and airports in Ukraine,and take SBU HQ in Kiev off the map.
According to the media discussion we have almost every day now, our generals think that considering the very large numbers of ethnic-Russians and mixed ancestry people in Ukraine, the Russian military took a velvet glove approach initially, but now they realize that they are fighting NATO so the next phase after the G-20 will bring hell to Ukraine.
The Russians have also adapted very fast in the last 4 months and are now barely suffering any casualties and using more battle innovated equipment. Their KA-52 as the Indian airforce chief said is the best weapon in this Operation. India is looking into buying KA-52 as US Apaches are high cost, high-maintenance junk and our army is not happy with Modi’s meddling in defence. Indians want more Russian equipment.
US has been killing million of innocent peoples in the middle east lol.
There is still some confusion in non-military circles about Russian tactics and adaptive battlefield performance. Let’s keep in mind that Russia was forced into Operation Z by NATO and Zionist criminals who had been arming, training shelling, raping, torturing and massacring ethnic Russians, Muslims and other minorities in the Don Bas since 2014.
I explained all these realities in detail on Feb 24th, but please let me elaborate as now we have a good four months of Russian and AFU report card. The Russians from every objective grading would now rate at A- compared to C+ in March, when they moved large units in a slow lumbering manner and suffered casualties. But now they are proving their mettle and fighting like one of the best trained and motivated military they are. They also now realize that they are facing NATO in full, and not mere AFU Nazi drug addicts and pimps.
The fact is that Russia did not declare war on Ukraine and Russian troops were sent to demilitarize and De-Nazify Ukraine, with orders to avoid harming civilians and civilian infrastructure. This strategy has been far different from the indiscriminate “Shock and Awe” strategy of US-NATO genocidal invasions that move at greater speed with much more “collateral damage.” killing millions of civilians from Afghanistan, Iraq to Libya.
The Russians generally took great care not to antagonize civilians as confirmed by independent journalists. Meanwhile the AFU atrocities tells a much different story with Ukrainian forces being consistently blamed for destroying homes and buildings, murdering and raping civilians or using them as human shields. NATO officers directly controlling the AFU deliberately placed heavy weaponry, rockets and artillery in hospitals, homes and schools. There are confirmed reports sighted by myself and most independent analysts that the AFU parked tanks and other NATO supplied weapons in underground Kiev, Lviv, Odessa and other cities shopping center parking lots. The Russian refrained from attacking and thay proved costly.
Did Russia underestimate how fiercely the Ukrainians would fight? Perhaps so, largely due to faulty intel and hesitancy to attack fellow Orthodox Slavs . Did they make mistakes and lose soldiers and generals? Absolutely. Are they losing on the battlefield? ABSOLUTELY NO and this is becoming more apparent to Western media that hasn’t wanted to outright admit it. It has downplayed the fact that Russia has taken much territory including Mariupol, Kherson and now 99% of Lugansk has been liberated from Ukrainian control. Western media outlets, such as Bloomberg News, Reuters, etc are finally acknowledging the Russian victories in this region of the Donbass and that Ukrainian troops are now at risk of encirclement by Russian forces, either surrendering or fleeing ( new parlance “redeploying to more defensible positions). Quite laughable considering 80,000 AFU and NAZI affiliates are dead along with several hundred CIA trained terrorists from 32 countries. 76 NATO officers and NCO have died and listed as “accidents in Europe”. Without hyperbole, I can safely predict that Russians can whup all of NATO in a few weeks and the moronic Americans know it. But the British bastards want to keep the conflict going due to their historical racist hatred of Slavs. Russia will not back down and will defend every inch of Slavic lands even with nukes, if it has to. The Jew cabal should understand that too.
In military terms, Russians are now performing at a A+ grade and their tactics are far more refined and focused. The most stark FACT is that Russians are technically defeating the best of NATO officers, weapons and doctrine. And NO WONDER, NATO GENERALS ARE SHITTING IN THEIR PANTS AT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RED ARMY. Also another glaring FACT, RUSSIA HAS BARELY USED 10% of its TOTAL MILITARY CAPABILITY. So If I was sitting at the round table underground command post in Brussels, I would be very worried at the pathetic performance of NATO. Also the Chinese who are now openly pleased with Russian military performance are taking notes at NATO weakness and confusion. RUSSIA HAS SIMPLY PREVAILED. The Russian soldiers has yet once again proved that they are second to none. Now wonder President Putin is sounding so confident and cheerful. The Ukrainians need to get of Zelensky and sue for peace or they will literally see the full fury of hell in a few weeks.
In total, you’re right, but with some misjudgements, which I will list bellow analytical: 1. Putin’s/politics meddling into military was a very bad move; he obviously ‘delegate’ every single strategy of the army and that’s not good (look the previous orders to rest the troops which participated into Lisichansk fight). The big casualties in the first 2-3 weeks are due to his counsel to not hurt the civilians (?!), as well as the very faulty intel. If he is gonna to learn something from ww2 better to watch Stalin’s let his generals to do what is needed, instead idiot Hitler who ruined his army. 2. There are not 80.000 hohol americunt whores at all. It even not reach the 60.000 KIA till now; but very near 3. ‘RUSSIA HAS BARELY USED 10% of its TOTAL MILITARY CAPABILITY’ is the most wrong statement ever ! Russia HAS used ALMOST ALL it’s military capability and that is showed in many war aspects, like the lack of the so-needed VOLUME FIRE and overwhelming BTG’s. In fact that conflict revealed what a small (but extremely competent) army Russia have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ukrainians have more BTG’s for a 100 less GDP country. Off course not so competitive, off course that ruined the Ukropuzdan GDP, but, and I mention AGAIN, BUT, those numbers PREVENT russians of a rapid victory and mark the war with the word called ‘ATTRITION’. In fact, Kremlin MoD aknowledge that and state that in the nearest future the armed forces of Russia will increase significantly.
Russia has the weaponry required to have ended that war long ago if it had wanted to, but it has delayed not to create civilian casualties, created humanitarian corridors, special operations to eliminate Nazi elements without destroying civilian human lives.
You are angry and confused……. Just look at Russia military parade… count the tanks and soldiers…. its easy.
You will find out RUSSIA IS USING LESS THAN 10% of its military.
Remember parades only include the good looking soldiers, the ones that can match not the ones that can shoot. who sometimes do not look good in uniform
You are confused that is the only explanation.
Russia has since Soviet times underground bases 7 stories high and 10 x 3km long and wide filled with weapons. Ritter, Scott William even spoke about this in his videos, he visited these warehouses / bases during Gorbachev’s time, when atomic bombs were disarmed and destroyed, And he knows what he is talking about. study his video, after all, he is a high-ranking specialist and a specialist in Russia. I think that even 10% of the used material is exaggerated!!

Russia will win this war at a great cost to Russia. However, Russia will learn a lot about how to fight NATO.
The final war would involve CHEMICAL WEAPONS…. The USA will not only be NUKED with ICBMs but also Chemical weapons would be used against the USA to smoke out its leaders and kill everything that moves.
Remember at the beginning of my postings a few months ago when Russia appeared to be losing, I explained how Russia was going to learn very fast from the battlefield how to change tactics and win the war. This has been proven correct. The Russians are learning a lesson, the Russians are cleaning house getting rid of useless Generals and replacing them with effective generals.
Russian soldiers are also getting training on how to win wars against NATO… this will be useful because the first wars against NATO will not immediately be Nuclear. The Nuclear option would come after the USA or Britain make a strategic mistake thinking they can screw Russia. Then the cities of New York (3 ICBMs), Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina would be hit.
Question to anyone who knows… why are the cities of New York, North Carolina and South Carolina targets? Do they have any military importance? I am guessing New York city is deleted from the planet to wipe out the financial strength of the USA. Please feel free to correct me with real information.
Remember I am writing this from dreams I saw of massive destruction. Unfortunately everything seems to be going according to my dreams.
The next phase of this military operation is this:
THE RUSSIANS WILL FINALLY GAIN CONFIDENCE THEY CAN BEAT THE WHOLE OF NATO ….. when this occurs to the generals as well as the recruit of the military at the grassroots, Russia will ask itself, why are we allowing the USA and Britain to limit trade, wealth accumulation and power globally when we can beat them in battle? The USA and Britain cannot go Nuclear …. the moment they do… they lose the war.
The planet can survive a nuclear war….. it would be difficult but the population of humans will drastically be reduced which means they would be enough land to feed and grow a new era with less than 2 billion people. Most people will die of diseases and starvation plus breakdown of law and order.
Those who survive the nuclear war will have a really good life…. initially it would be difficult but their children will live a really good life.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
I thinks nuclear war will not happen by planning but by accidents.
uncle pens wan ts to swallow some amerikan sperm also
Ashok greetings and yes I relied on the military analysis of the Indian generals specially at the beginning of Russia’s SMO since true information was so scarce and the empire of lies including twitter and the entire social media networks were overloading the English speaking world with misinformation and fake pro-Ukrainian propaaganda. What Ukraine did to the Indian and African students by not allowing them on the trains is to expose themselves as the scum that they are to the whole world. India is playing a major role in helping to bring in the multi polar world order. India was one of the first countries to purchase Russia’s oil within the first month of Russia’s SMO when the whole western world was trying to isolate Russia.
western junk that makes a lot of climate change pim pim pum ….Russia ……Kabun sheizen in your nazi anus !!!!
Nothing will change the course of this war even if UK-US decide to supply Ukrop with F-35 ‘lemon’. UK-US imperialists’ over investment in this war is a good distraction that will keep inflation and fall in living standards at home unattended, which is desirable. Meanwhile, western masses still think they live in a utopia of a sort and may sheepishly follow their compromised leaders back to medieval ages.
These Anglo racist bastards and most of the EU lapdogs are in serious trouble as their economies are collapsing and soon if their eunuch population has even microscopic balls will come out in the streets as energy costs multiply. In the meantime, Russia-Iran and India have embarked on the biggest Eurasian infrastructure project in history, totally by-passing the western beggars and all trade in the R3 currencies (Ruble, Rial & Rupee). Our own growing SWIFT.
Work started on the Mumbai (India) to Saint Petersburg trade route – NO SINGLE DOLLAR WILL BE USED ON THIS ROUTE India- Iran- Azerbaijan- Moscow- St Petersburg #Dedollarisation #Gamechanger #BoycottTheDollar Grains- Oil – Coal – Fertiliser trade route without using SWIFT
Iran’s deep water port of Chah Bahar is now the biggest transport hub for India-Russia and central Asian trade. Iranian and Russian navies now hold joint exercises to protect the Persian Gulf from Anglo hyenas.
LOL This is US and EU ally India backstabbing papa America in broad daylight. It is a mind-boggling experience to witness the Americans receiving an epic humiliation in broad daylight. What will be even more tasty is the idiotic Americans making up excuses how India needs Russia blah blah. Such an incredible humiliation.
First, US EU hate India for racist and other satanic reasons. Indians’ know it and they waited for the best time to stick the middle finger to the ugly Anglos who can only bark as their house of cards unravel.

Time will tell. At least if indeed everything is so rosy for the russian army in Ukraine, then why SF is hiding the other side of the tide ?

Pravda ukraine is a reliable source now,that’s funnier than NATO’s game changing weapons,have you tested your water for lead contamination ?maybe you should.
Very good and true statement. And you must mention that after Ukropizdan episode this deep state globalist government will plunge us without any ‘respiro’ into another catastrophe, something like Covid scam or anything other to keep the sheep mesmerized and do not judge for itself.

So far RuAF have destroyed or captured almost every “gamechanger” lol The HIMARS have been destroying ammo depots in Donetsk and Kherson though, as NATO satellites give the UKROPS 100% solid intel 24/7.
It’s pretty disappointing that RuAF haven’t deployed more SA-12/SA-23 S-300V anti-ballistic missile systems to protect entire Donbass/Kherson areas. They are letting NATO cunts give away their depot positions to UKROPS.
Russian Army has in inventory 2200 S-300V1/S-300V4 ABM launchers. That is almost 240 batteries! Ammo depots need to be protected by SA-12/23 gladiator. HIMARS m30 missiles with 70km range travel mach 4. While ATAMC 300km range travels mach 5.
S-300V4 98M2M missile can destroy ballistic target flying up to mach 12! And 98M3M can destroy at mach 8! S-300V1 has max target speed of 8.5 mach for 98M2 and mach 6 for 98M3. RuAF is 100% able to completely protect all of Donbass Kherson Kharkiv from UKROP HIMARS/Smerch/URUGAN/Tochka/GRAD. Time to being in loads of extra S-300V batteries only they can protect from HIMARS. Losing ammo depots isn’t “game changing” like NATO faggots think but it slows down offensives stalls momentum, making longer time to prepare or get more ammo to the front. Sooner or later all HIMAR will be located and destroyed by airforce or counter artillery but the current offensives cant wait for that.
thats another thing that got me wondering. 9+ depots destroyed in almost 2 weeks due to HIMAR. Only solution is deploying lots more SA-12 gladiators which RUARMY have thousands of. What is the hold up? They have them deployed in Belgorod and eastern Lugansk. Time to deploy loads more batteries around all Donbass. losing an ammo depot will slow down operations for sure. 9? definitely. But Russians have always figured out how to remedy the situation and correct it. Just with GAYRAKTAR which are all falling down from being jammed or shot down, UKROPS afraid to even use TB2 anymore. Russians always adapt and learn. They need to learn how to tackle HIMARS until they find and destroy them all.
9 depots? They showed some civilian house in Donetsk claiming it was a ‘depot’.
Ok, I agree with you and with Observer, but can we be sure it is true the ukros have destroyed 9+ in the last 2 weeks?
The Brimstone 3 tested in Sweden -2019 -can fire surface to surface – each missile costs ( net ) £105,000 . One thing stands out here Russian logistics are good that return fire was nearly instantaneous- either satellite or small local surveillance craft.
“which was camouflaged as a civilian truck, right after it fired a salvo of three Brimstone missiles on an unspecified front” It shows once again that the Nazis criminals can’t hide behind any camouflage or civilian building, YOU WILL BE FOUND by the Russian Air Force. Plus, the eyes of the Russian intelligence is everywhere among the enemies, almost 23% of the AFU is formed by ethically Russians, don’t forget that, they are deeply infiltrated.
These fucking UKROP Nazis using civilian trucks and homes to fire their Neptune, Harpoon, HIMARS missiles. Always hiding behind civilians and then blaming Russians. Same tactics Nusra/ISIS uses in Syria. No wonder Liveuamap Jihadmin UKROPS LOVE Syria terrorists.
An active radar seeker can be jammed in many ways and w.o. expensive jammers
Please focus on jerlanski, that monkey is the culprit, it defies the wish of Ukrainians, colludes with the US and its allies, disregards the citizens’ well-being and their future, set high bounty to at all cost inflict harm, deface, this monkey,
destroy its hearing, its vision, its protective skin, its ability to reason and think via drugs, its ability to walk steadily, its ability to make noise, stop its heart from functioning well through poison, anything that results in the above is worth rewarding.
of course, the most ideal outcome is to exterminate this beast.
Just how some mentioned here and what I spoke many times earlier, Russia MUST turn its FOCUS on VOLUME FIRE into strategic important locations never targeted before, like the C3 mobile phones towers, C&C structures inside important cities like Kiev, Kharkov or Odessa, ALL power stations and power hubs, railway junctions and railway signaling stations, and the most important thing: PARTIAL/GENERAL MOBILIZATION ! Squeezing the ukropizdan NATO whores into smaller areas means not only an advantage but also a disadvantage because you let enemy to concentrate and move his power easily on a narrow front, making the clashing more difficult and costly. The BEST way to deal with such situation is, according the respectable Military Academy, is to work on enemy MORALE ! Knowing that this factor is extremely highly ‘contagious’ and more the subjects is going more ‘compact’ the more this infection get it’s grip. For this, the mentioned attack targets are IMPERATIVE ! Hope russian generals are knowing all of that and pound the neo-nazi hoholist colonials with full force. Viva Russia !
All the crap Pirate Rock sends to its Ukrop stooges should be “delivered” right back to the snaggle-toothed evil island monkeys and sundry hindustanner political servants of that unfortunate in bred dystopia.
one of hundreds ? great succes russian!!! so called 2nd army in the world :D. You still need another 10 years to destroy all :D Today another big russian ammo depots has been destroyed + 1x russian c-400 by himars.
Russia is hopeless agains superior HIMARS. Almost 20 big ammo depots destroyed in last 12 days
As much as I’m happy about seeing all of these gifted systems being blown to hell I have to admit that these videos are really shitty. One moment you get a drone close-up and then a quick cut-away to something going up in smoke but to be honest you have no earthly idea if its the same sequence of events or two separate events being spliced together. I’ve seen this again and again and again. Even clips where you’re told one thing is happening, you can make out roads and trees etc, then suddenly its a zoomed out shot with absolutely none of the landmarks from the previous clip. None. Completely different terrain. Its a sad joke.
Launcher clearly fired missiles. But nobody knows where the Russian artillery rockets hit. Yet another bullshit video from southfront.
welcome in russian propaganda website ;)
Looks like they were taken from youtube -same videos -even reddit poster says- “crap videos ” –although on satellite 13 Astra internal Russian media shows better .
The fact that the launcher was discovered by a drone prior to firing its munitions should be indicative that the Russians were aware of its location. I’d like to look at the topic of perfidy, which the UK and Kiev government are now caught red-handed with. The deception to feign a military object as a civilian non combatant. One could argue camouflage, but the intent is clearly to create conditions in which the object is designated to deter targeting due to civilian status.
If the article is fake, then why are you even here? Go to CNN, there they have no fake, at all. Never.
So now they are using civilian trucks to fire these missiles from . In I guess an attempt to get closer to a target without being identified. This nato ordinance has to travel across Ukraine in order to arrive at the front lines. The supply routes I’m sure can be identified along with the times and shipment dates. Probably moving these missiles under the cover of darkness night time. Every one of these missiles destroyed before it arrives at the front lines saves innocent lives.
Poof! and gone are Johnson’s Churchill aspirations
Russians, what are u waiting to sent Sarmat, Zircon, etc? To be hit first? Sent them now!
