NLAW revisited 

😂 bro its so good

I think the nlaw is more of a shoulder launched missile

with that cap on, it seems its a live round too.

​@@bensmith7536Exactly 😂

Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are watching 😂

I can assure you the weapon manufacturers are getting daily updates on performance of their weapons

@@SHOT_GUNNER; Neither are producing NLAW, you are thinking of Javelin.

Western defense manufacturers move slower than a snails pace as we've seen, don't get your hopes up.

​@@IFarmBugs They have the tooling and production methods already set. They make exuberant amounts of money in profit per launcher already ( because they have a monopoly on arms pretty much ). It's assumed, since it's in service, that it's performance is satisfactory, per army requirements set in the trials. They won't improve the design, just because it can perform a little better. In fact, from the corporate standpoint - it's more profitable for them, if the launcher performs just barely well enough so that they get a contract, but not too well. It being less effective, or malfunctioning, increases their profits. Since the army has to buy more/more spare parts.

why do you think the russians but also chinese use so crude gear? They focus their strengh on numbers and massive troops. the neither have the money nor the nerves to train every caveman from some corner of their large countries. and if you have no time to train an emergency army in wartime, you cant blame the manufacturer. so give the ukrainians panzerfaust 3, more RPG, carl gustavs etc. I have the feeling that all the javelins and nlaws were delivered just to test em in real combat.

​@@snakeplissken2148 Ok then 😂

Don't think so, leading your target in is correct english, as the military might use it (I suspect it comes directly from his instructor) - tracking is also fine but it's probably a gamer thing.

The computer onboard the NLAW does all the leading for you, that is one of it's major selling points. You the user don't have to do any leading at all. Hence why I thought is was a translation issue.@@user-mc6lv7mu9p

@@user-mc6lv7mu9pnah, leading implies you are moving with the target and the reticle is ahead of the target to compensate for time of flight to target. tracking would be the more appropriate term because tracking implies you are moving with the target but the reticle is on the target, not ahead.

@@user-mc6lv7mu9p i was taught that "leading" specifically meant kentucky windage and that "tracking" just meant following the target.

@@Gunbudder tracking is does mean following the target, leading became very important when machine guns began to be fitted to ww1 aircraft, leading i guess means tracking with the added prediction of the flight of your round, or missile in this case. Tracking would be passive, leading is hopefully going to ruin a Russians day.

I made a custom battery for nlaw

the stuff Ukraine received are probably old stock and Batteries degrade over time so even if fully charged, they probably won't have as much power compared to brand new batteries.

I have seen people make mounts to reuse the acogs on other stuff

he mentioned in a past video they made mounts that would allow them to take the ACOGs off and mount to regular pick-a-tincan rail.

I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah I kept a few of these, there not the same as the Acog that goes on the Rifle but still pretty cool.

the user moves that lever" the one he says breaks off ez" and while moving the lever over, visually tracks the tank, The nlaw has internal sensors that track that movement of the launcher, tracks the tank according the the movement, and hits the tank. only the visually tracking of the target, usng the chevron reticle of the acog is needed. No math :D ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ArD-fzz9f3g.htmlsi=7isknccaVQE2Oucu

@@geek211 wow, thanks for the answer so no need to lead the launcher after tracking the target, just fire and the rocket itself will turn towards the target?

​@@GanyangYourself-pq5snyes it is fire and forget

You track the target for 3-5 seconds, and then fire. Missile calculates how fast were you tracking the tank, and missile will fly the same path

@@janintelkor so after it went out of the tube, the missile will guide itself... or what? man I'm too dumb for this

disposed of

No, it does not. The payload is pointed straight down, regardless of mode chosen. The only reason to use DA instead of OTA is for soft targets like trucks or Helis.

DA fuze can explode on sufficiently stiff brush

I think he means to keep the chevron directly on the vehicle , to track the target

Track target

They aren’t that great because the engagement ranges and bulk/weight make them extremely difficult to close with the enemy. As he mentioned in the video they have multiple significant points of failure, and only a few minutes of battery life. There’s some obvious issues with the fact that the missile cannot account for changes in elevation or direction of the target. At 200m/s maximum velocity and 40m/s at the point of launch, the actual maximum time to impact is going to be up to six seconds, and the reality is that a T90M has third generation thermals that can detect man sized targets well past two kilometres. It just makes it a very rare case for the weapon to even be deployed. It’s just too large and heavy for the trench fighting that goes on now.

@@BotNard Its a disposable light anti-tank weapon. Given to riflemen and not dedicated anti tank teams. Compared to your average LAW like AT-4 or RPG its way better. It has a ballistic computer so is more likely to hit what you shoot at, especially if the target is moving, and has top attack so can knock out a modern main battle tank from any aspect. Neither of which AT-4 or RPG can do. Light anti-tank weapons are used defensively and at shorter ranges, You don't send poor sods out to hunt tanks with them... you use dedicated anti tank assets for that. like drones, ATGM teams, artillery or tanks. Infantry use LAW when dedicated AT assets are absent or busy, preferably when they can ambush tanks. And then NLAW has been proven to blow up lots of Russian tanks. why valgear made this video. poorly trained idiots don't like NLAW. he is trying to dispel that illusion, and doing a good job.
