How A British-Made Missile Launcher Helped Keep Vladimir Putin’s Army At Bay
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on The Telegraph.
This is the sub-title.
The Anglo-Swedish next-generation light anti-tank weapon (NLAW) has achieved cult status in Ukraine.
But not perhaps in Russia! Unless they worship the devil!
Seriously, though, we may be watching the war, which marks the beginning of the end of the tank.
- A general of my acquaintance told me about ten years ago, that tanks were a nightmare for army commanders, unless the terrain was very tank-friendly. He should have known, as he’d once run the Army Survey, which gives geographical information to the British Army.
- Defenders like the jolly Ukrainian in the video in the Telegraph article, will get better missiles and do more damage to tanks.
- Satellites and drones will get more watchful and intelligent and will direct the firepower of defenders to the inch.
- Tanks could get bigger, but then they would be more likely to get stuck.
My only worry, is will the death of the tank, make chemical, biological or nuclear war more likely?
