Is it a British weapon? Or is it a Swedish one?Īs is so often the case, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Many have been surprised just how effective NLAW is, even in the hands of soldiers with little prior training.īut there has also been a degree of confusion around the origins of the system. With a missile capable of penetrating 500 mm armour and a range of 20 to 800 metres, the system has won plenty of admirers in recent months thanks to its ability to defeat main battle tanks. But Saab’s NLAW anti-tank weapon also packs a powerful punch.

It weighs just 12.5 kilograms and measures a fraction over a metre.
