700 HP Speedboat Can't Outrun the Brimstone Missile

A Royal Air Force (RAF) Tornado GR4 jet aircraft attacked a remotely-controlled 40ft Fast in-Shore Attack Craft (FIAC) powered by twin 350hp engines.

Two successful shots were taken, one with a telemetry Dual Mode Brimstone missile (non-warhead, data-gathering missile), and one with an operational Dual Mode Brimstone missile. Both missiles were fitted with MBDA Inc's latest anti-FIAC software upgrades which optimized the missile for the unique challenges of maritime engagements.
