NLAW (Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapon) anti-tank systems handed over by UK on January 28, were tested in Ukraine at the 184th Training Center.

This was preceded by intensive theoretical training of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the use of NLAW anti-tank missile systems in combat conditions. First, the Ukrainian military mastered the theoretical basis of the use of modern anti-tank weapons.

The NLAW is a light disposable anti-tank system with a combat range of 600 (new version up to 800) meters and weighs 12.5 kilograms. Before starting, the gunner uses a sight for three seconds to track the angular velocity of the target. The target is remembered by an inertial missile block, which during flight makes the necessary adjustments, adjusting the direction of motion.

In January, the Ukrainian servicemen began to master the transmitted American M141 hand grenade launchers.

The M141 Bunker Defeat Munition (BDM) is a single-shot, shoulder-launched weapon designed to defeat hardened structures, make passages in barriers, walls of buildings.
