In 1999, the British Defence Procurement Agency sent requests for quotations for a new man-portable anti-tank weapon, to compete in the “Next Generation Light Anti-Armour Weapon” programme come January 2001 to replace the British Law 80s. Saab Bofors Dynamics MBT Law was selected as the winner over several other offers. Accordingly, the NLAW system-programme became a British-Swedish joint venture. The Next Generation Light Anti-Tank Weapon, also called MBT LAW or RB-57, has been in production since 2008 and is used by the majority of forces throughout the Swedish and British armies and thereby constitutes an anti-tank complement to the existing light and crew-operated medium-range systems. In this video we are going to take a closer look at this weapon and how it is giving Ukraine a helping hand in the ongoing conflict with Russia.
