NLAW Platoon*
*
The NLAWs FDF bought are used to bolster the operation units' (Readiness Brigades) AT-capability. The NLAWs are best used to destroy enemy tanks in the AOR of attacking jaegers in terrain that doesn't allow long firing ranges (most Finnish terrain doesn't). While the Jaegers can take on the lighter vehicles at short ranges, and the ATGMs can engage at longer ranges, the NLAW fills the need for short-medium range AT weapons, especially when it has enough penetration power to destroy any enemy tank.*

NOTE:*
As the NLAWs are bought, but not yet taken into use, it's not clear how they will be used and how they are organized. One quite possible way of using them would be to form platoons under the Battalions, like the AT-Platoon (Apilas) in Jaeger Battalion. One thing is sure, they are not to replace the Apilas.*
