British NLAW

[redcoat2]

I’d like to suggest a couple of small tweaks for Unit 235 in obat07: (1) bring forward its availability start date to 2010 and (2) change the unit name to ‘NLAW Team’.

The MBT LAW is also known as the NLAW. I think it is usually referred to as the NLAW (Next generation Light Anti-armour Weapon) in the UK. At least it is at the moment.

It is already officially in service and I think some units have already received training with it. The MoD has stocks, but they haven’t been issued yet. They recently said that it “is likely to be issued to all three services from next year when it will replace its interim predecessor ILAW when current ILAW stocks have been used.” The availability end date of the ‘ILAW Team’ unit (Unit 410) will therefore need to be reviewed at some point.

Edit: I’ve just realised that there are two MBT LAW units (235 and 387) and two ILAW units (236 and 410) in obat07. The same suggestions apply to the extra two.
