“Germany’s Acquisition of MBDA’s Brimstone: A Boost for European Industrial Unity”

MBDA has secured a contract from Germany to produce and deliver Brimstone 3 precision strike missiles for the Bundeswehr’s Eurofighter fighter jets. A final assembly facility and a service center for Brimstone will be established at MBDA’s Schrobenhausen location for this initiative.

Eric Béranger, Chief Executive Officer of MBDA, stated: “The acquisition of Brimstone 3 by Germany is a pivotal step toward the standardization of armaments in Europe and enhancing the Bundeswehr’s munitions inventory. The new manufacturing facility is the first of its type outside the UK and exemplifies the effectiveness of the MBDA collaboration model in guaranteeing a sovereign supply of vital European defense capabilities.”

Brimstone 3 is a tactical precision strike missile distinguished by extremely high levels of combat-tested accuracy, efficiency, and dependability. The Brimstone 3 allows forces to engage both stationary and rapidly moving targets with pinpoint precision under various weather conditions. Additionally, Brimstone is being integrated onto unmanned aerial systems such as the Eurodrone and MQ-9B and serves as a fitting armament option for ground vehicles, helicopters, and heavy remote platforms.
