      ​@@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.

    OTA technically stands for Overfly Top Attack. As flies over the target and the shape charge pointing down fires in the target, as opposed to the javelin which flies up, and then flies down directly into the tank, and has a forward facing shape charge warhead.
    And DA stands for Direct Attack.

      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.

    Good stuff as usual. One small English note, “tracking” would be the more appropriate term than “leading.” Tracking means keeping the chevron on target, leading would mean putting the chevron ahead of the target.
    Edit for clarity and knuckleheads like @user-mc6lv7mu9p. You don't need to lead with the NLAW, the computer does all the calculations for you. You just have to track your target for a few seconds while the computer makes said calculations.
    Edit 2: @user-mc6lv7mu9p is doubling down on their ignorance. Folks, don't make wild speculations on topics you know nothing about.

    • @user-mc6lv7mu9p
      @user-mc6lv7mu9p 7 месяцев назад +3

      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.

    • @randyjones7507
      @randyjones7507 7 месяцев назад

      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

  •  6 месяцев назад +9

    Some minor details, you don't get 3-4 tries to aim, the battery can handle at least 20. I would strongly recommend that at ANY armored vehicle you use OTA. If you use DA you only get the detonation effect of the warhead, no shaped charge effect at all, it will all go into the ground. Other than that, great video, and I must say, the part about how lack of training equipment in the beginning is extremely important! Could you maybe make a video where you especially focus on lack of training equipment? I'm thinking both simulators for NLAW and training weapons (9mm and 20mm) for AT-4 and CG? I can't stress enough how much that might help...

    In hunting language, in english, "leading" means to aim ahead to where you expect the target to be when the proyectiles reach it. Leading is what you do when you shoot with a shotgun at ducks or grouse because the shot takes time to reach the bird. I guess what you mean to say is to "track" the aimpoint as it moves, that is, put the chevron on the aimpoint and keep it there if the target moves while the system is doing the calculations with the lever depressed.

      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.

    I just want to see video of Valgear playing with a Carl Gustaf on a range with armored vehicles/bunkers/squad size formation man targets/Lada/etc. demonstrating the vast array of different types of munitions then quietly sharing his opinion of each loading! 🤣 (Anybody here have keys to the SAAB testing facility? Valgear deserves that equivalent of a spa treatment 😆) Or better yet can we just send them in larger quantities along with some REAL military aid for making good Russians out of the invaders? We (the USA) spent $300 million a day for 20 years in Afghanistan alone during the GWOT, not including Iraq then Africa... Now people who were seemingly fine with that are complaining that sending 1990's ATACMS and leftover 1950s designed rocket pods being rigged to SU-25s and M2 brownings with Korean War/Vietnam War production dates is somehow a blank check to Ukraine, bleeding our inventory dry 🤦‍♂️ Yes of all the old shit we were going to pay to de-mil like M113s and Maxxpros for example... I guess it shows the power modern social media and internet can have over otherwise normal, average people who always brag about freedom and democracy yet fighting a Russian invasion isn't a smart investment, but no problem spending 10000X more chasing a few thousand guys around the middle east... 🤨 CCP and Russian misinformation sowing, along with political/popular influencer assets are very effective in the USA and Western countries in general, and a real problem... WW3 has been being fought with 1's and 0's via the internet for over a decade now, most just haven't realized it. Some never will until it's too late. Stay safe Valgear 👍

    Can the ACOG be used for a rifle after the NLAW is fired?

    maybe a protective hard plastic kind of "cup" can be improvised and duct taped over the controls that usually brake....then when its time to fire, you just pull the duct tape holding said improvised cup around and off in one movement, like ripping open a christmas present or a brazilian vaginal wax.
    haha

    Aren't there any of those disabled rocket launchers? I am interested in buying, I have already seen that the British sell them but they are sold out :(

    I remember NLAW was the worst rocket launcher in BATTLEFIELD 4 😂
