U.K. Prime Minister Cameron Cites Dual Mode Brimstone as Key Precision Missile Against ISIS

On September 26^th U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron cited the Dual Mode Brimstone as a key tool in the Royal Air Forces’ arsenal to combat ISIS:

“The coalition needs our help, in particular with the vital work being done in terms of air strikes. Britain has unique assets that no other coalition ally can contribute: the Brimstone precision missile, which minimizes the risk of civilian casualties and which even the United States does not have; we have our unique surveillance and intelligence capabilities; and we have our highly professional forces, which are well used to working with their US counterparts.

These are some of the reasons why President Obama made it clear to me that America wants Britain to join the air action in Iraq, which has now been under way for several weeks.”
