Brimstone is an air-to-surface (tank killing) missile, similar to a Hellfire missile. Ukraine have developed a way to launch them from a ground vehicle. Here's a ground launch video.

The "much superior maximum range" of Brimstone 2 will improve the survivability of the ground launch vehicle.

Brimstone missiles can be carried by US/UK drones. I would expect they could be carried by Turkish TB2 drones with minimal NRE.

Thanks for the ping.
