Molotov




Sticky Bomb

Alternately referred to as a sticky charge, sticky grenade or sticky bomb, the makeshift explosive employed by paratroopers during the Battle of Ramelle (http://www.sproe.com/r/ramelle.html) consisted of grease-covered socks filled with composition B (http://www.sproe.com/c/composition-b.html) or TNT (http://www.sproe.com/t/tnt.html) explosive material. A fuse was inserted into the explosives and lit just before the explosive was placed on its target.
Although the first attempt to use one of the sticky bombs failed, and the paratrooper holding the device was blown apart instantly, two other paratroopers successfully planted two sticky bombs on a German Tiger tank (http://www.sproe.com/t/tiger-tank.html). The resulting explosions knocked off the tank's tread and succeeded in immobilizing the tank and blocking the street.

The British Army will also have MBT LAW Light Anti-Tank Weapon (NLAW)(Rbs57) - all of the missiles will be built in the UK at a modernised or new BAE facility in Scotland; that INCLUDES the Swedish ones.

This is LAW80 the system being replaced by NLAW..........

http://www.army.mod.uk/img/equipment/pw/pw_law/pw_law.jpg

http://www.army.mod.uk/img/equipment/pw/law94.1.jpg

They also have a PANZERFAUST version on order or just being delivered with an anti-material/bunker-busting warhead. These were procured under an Urgent Operational Requirement as a result of Iraq/Afghanistan experience.

JAVELIN is the primary anti-tank weapon for the Royal Marines and the Airborne/Para forces of course.............the rest of the Army follows from 2007 replacing MILAN and SWINGFIRE.

Hi,

[Roy Batty]

BTW Doesn't the CF also use the Carl Gustav?

Yup. The Carl G and the M-72 LAW.

[Hydro]

The British also use the CG AT-4 on an interim basis on operations. Certain units still use the M-72 66mm LAW as well. Javelin should be in most regular Army units by now, even my TA battalion has already had the CLU's and training simulators delivered to our Anti-Tank platoon.

[Assaulter_KFOR99]

CF uses the ERYX and TOW 2 aswell

[King_Cobra]

Milan-II, 9K11 Malyutka, 9K11 Fagot, 9K113 Konkurs and 84mm Carl Gustav

Eryx is supposed to be gone by 2010 and replaced by the Javlin2 from what I heard. Be nice to see a new armour buster in the inventory.

2000 m ATGM Metis-M1. Unlike Milan and Fagot/Spigot, it is really portable, i.e. can be carried for any distance just as infantry machine-gun etc.
http://talks.guns.ru/forums/icons/forum_pictures/000509/509875.jpghttp://www.new-factoria.ru/missile/wobb/metis_m/rash.jpg
Taking into account its moderate cost and versatility of ammunition, Metis-M1 can be highly recommended to illegal military formations.

Good news for the taliban and all kinds of redneck militias i guess...rofl

That's an interesting camo pattern that the Lithuanian SF are using. Any more details on it? It's the first time I'm seeing it. Looks a little like the new French FELIN camo pattern.

The 9M131M Metis-M was supposably used by Hezbollah during the recent Lebanese/Israel War last year.
