That's a bloomin expensive way of getting rid of MBTs and APCs. Surely something along the lines of a GAU-8 would be cheaper per mission?
Not nearly as potentially expensive as entering the MANPAD threat range with your GAU-8. (Not that it's a UK option)

I'd like to know whether Brimstone has been guided using mmW in Libya, be interesting to see whether it works as advertised in that regard and whether Toyota pickups are in their data bank.
