why would we want to make multiple or 'uninterrupted runs' over the target area.
Have multi-layered air defence systems been abolished or are out of fashion? No runs into target through hot MEZs? Blimey, the world has moved on – anyone want to buy a second-hand S-300?

The official assessment by the UK MoD confirmed the tremendous 96% hit capability, albeit achieved under range conditions (real combat conditions usually show lower hit capabilities for virtually all of the world’s weapon types).
So in an ideal world the 100% thing is rubbish, never-mind a real shooting war

All this is not meant as a criticism of Brimstone, just the over optimistic propaganda being passed off as fact by the MoD
