UK details cruise missile use in Libya campaign

“During Operation Ellamy, UK forces employed a combined total of around 80 [MBDA] Storm Shadow and [Raytheon] Tomahawk land-attack missiles,” armed forces minister Andrew Robathan said in response to a parliamentary question in the House of Commons on 22 October. He declined to provide a more detailed split between use of the types, as this could “prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the armed forces”.

In addition to firing Storm Shadow weapons (pictured above) during multiple sorties flown from the Royal Air Force’s Marham base in Norfolk, the service’s Panavia Tornado GR4s also used “around 230 Dual Mode Seeker Brimstone missiles”, Robathan said.
