NLAW (Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapon) anti-tank systems handed over by UK tested in Ukraine.

Militarnyi informs about this.

Today, on the training range of 184th Training Center conducted the first field firing.

Journalist Andriy Tsaplienko showed video of fire activity:

Before that was an intensive theoretical training of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for use in combat conditions of NLAW anti-tank missile systems.

Initially, our soldiers learned the theoretical basis of the use of modern weapons.

This took place in three days of intensive training under the guidance of instructors of the training mission of the UK Armed Forces called Orbital, which continues at the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security of the Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi National Ground Forces Academy.

In addition, at the Battle in the City training complex, the military is training practical actions against enemy armor and vehicles with NLAW missile systems.

It will be recalled that the United Kingdom recently handed over a consignment of anti-tank weapons such as NLAW systems to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This came after British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said during a parliamentary hearing that London would supply Ukraine with light anti-tank defense weapons.

Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapon

The Swedish Saab AB Group in conjunction with the British branch of Thales Group developed the NLAW (Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapon) for the purpose and funding of the Great British Defence Ministry.

NLAW is a manual disposable anti-tank system with an effective firing range of up to 600 (in the new version up to 800) meters. Before starting, the gunner uses a sight for three seconds to track the angular velocity of the target, which is remembered by an inertial missile block, which during flight makes the necessary adjustments, adjusting the direction of motion.
