NLAW - Game changer against tanks -portability and fire power needed to stop tanks in their tracks.

Game changer against tanks !!!!
The NLAW is a light shoulder-fired weapon with excellent portability that allows the operator to also carry a rifle. The launcher weighs around 27.5 pounds and is easy to fire. It shoots a surprisingly powerful 150mm high-explosive anti-tank missile. The NLAW can take out a tank or vehicle between 20 and 400 meters for moving targets, and up to 800 meters for stationary vehicles.
The Next Generation Light Antitank Weapon (NLAW) was provided by the British before the war in January. The Ukrainians are setting up counter-attacks and ambushes in the suburbs of Kyiv on Russian armored columns using the NLAW. The NLAW system is proving its mettle. Since the NLAWs came over before the war started, they were able to be distributed widely to soldiers, and the Ukrainians are taking the initiative to blast Russian armor.
Ukrainian troops say British NLAW missiles are "game changers" to train to fight Russian troops and warn "crazy" Putin "we kill for hometown"
With tanks playing an increasingly decisive role in complex battle environments, defending forces need an effective anti-tank weapon. Saab’s NLAW system has the portability and fire power needed to stop tanks in their tracks.
The role of main battle tanks (MBTs) in armed conflicts is rapidly evolving.Where tanks once tended to be called on to support the advance of the infantry, they are increasingly being used in complex environments like city centres to provide combat support for dismounted troops. At the same time, tank sensors, countermeasures and armaments are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making them formidable combat weapons.
“In conflicts like Syria, we are seeing tanks advance and fire against buildings where the enemy is located,” says Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt, Manager of Technical Sales Support for Ground Combat within Saab Dynamics. “They are destroying whole buildings at a time and providing a way for forces to advance with some protection. If you don’t have an effective anti-tank weapon, then you have to spend a lot of time and energy finding other solutions.”
Another key advantage is that NLAW doesn’t use active target seeking, instead relying on ‘predicted line of sight’ targeting. “If you have an active seeker, the target will detect this and deploy countermeasures,” says Hovbrandt. “But the NLAW system is passive. Optical sensors detect the target and magnetic sensors rule out countermeasures and the missile hits the correct target.”
NLAW offers operators a choice of two firing modes. Direct Attack is best used on soft targets such trucks, buses and helicopters. Overfly Top Attack, on the other hand, involves the missile flying to a metre above a tank’s hatch and unleashing a powerful downwards attack on the most vulnerable part of the MBT.
Yet another useful feature is the ability to select thedistance at which the missile arms itself. “Say you are in complex terrain where a number of vehicles have been hit and you have a burning vehicle 50 metres in front of you and the true target is 150 metres away,” says Hovbrandt. “You just switch over the arm distance to 100 metres. The missile will fly blind over the first target and then start looking for the target.”
