Talk:Brimstone (missile)

message: "The missile is a development of Boeing's AGM-114 Hellfire and is designed to meet the RAF's requirement for a long range anti-armour weapon"
I thought that the AGM-114 Hellfire was a Lockheed Martin designed and built weapon, not a Boeing weapon. Can someone backup this statement or if it cannot be verified, be removed or edited? Thanks. ThePointblank 01:20, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Brimstone is based on the original Hellfire missile, a Boeing product.  LM are responsible for Hellfire II.
Is there a source for this? It is quite unusual for a manufacturer like MBDA to get access to the technology of a rival, like Lockheed-Martin or Boeing. Marchino61 (talk) 00:26, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

message: According to www.flightglobal.com, the Dual Mode seeker version (Laser instead of MMW radar) is now in service with RAF, and has flown on a sortie in Iraq. 
Think this can be added - but I'm not sure if this new DMS variant is the same thing as Brimstone 2? 
Anyone know? Bumper12 (talk) 03:08, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

"Previously during combat missions in both Libya and Afghanistan, the Brimstone missile has been fired individually, using laser guidance, with exceptionally accurate results.
"However, it also has the capacity to be fired in a large salvo utilising millimetric radar to guide simultaneously each missile to a separate target. Since a large concentration of former regime armoured vehicles had been located by NATO, this mission saw the salvo firing technique used for the very first time in action, with some two-dozen missiles fired.
"Full battle damage assessment continues, but seven or eight target vehicles were observed on fire, and the precision nature of the Brimstone's warhead means that additional targets were most likely destroyed or severely damaged."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.91.109.191 (talk) 17:18, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

message: The article states:
Once launched, the platform is free to manoeuvre away from the target area or engage another target array.
This is grammatically incorrect: taken literally, it says that "Once [the platform is] launched, the platform is free ..."
It should say something like:  "Once the missile(s) are launched, the platform is free ..."
