Buy a company that's recently oopsied a lot of people, and see how far that argument gets you when the lawsuits come rolling in. When you buy a company, their successes are now your successes, and their fuckups are now your fuckups.
Iirc correctly they were produced by United Defense Industries(UDI) which started as a division of Food Machinery Corporation(FMC). The latter being the designers behind the M113 and Bradley.
In the mid 2000s UDI was the acquired by BAE.
Of course calling the Bradley british because of that is highly misleading.
>Bradly >B R A D L Y

From retarded to worst to best: >Brad

Doesn't make Ziggers mald as hard as Stingers >NLAW
Pretty based, cheaper than Javelin and kills anything short of an MBT real good. >Storm Shadow
Extremely based, makes backline Ziggers deader than ever before and makes survivors mald.
Sure, but they most often were deployed against BTRs, BMPs, and other targets, while MBTs were targeted with Javelin. Also, doesn't NLAW have a less reliable top attack capability than Javelin? I could be misremembering, but I seem to remember NLAW's top attack just being some sort of air burst proximity fuse HEAT thing.
>But they most often were deployed
against xyz >tank front! I only have an Nlaw call up a Javelin
Dont be retarded, whatever they had at the time was used against whatever was infront of them. Early game saw the most nlaw action due to it being closer contacts once it opened up the javelins came into play.
>The only stuff with more than 800mm of roof armour is an ICBM silo.
ISBM silo lids are typically rebar reinforced concrete, not armor steel and mostly protect against overpressure, not direct impacts.
Show me evidence that NLAW actually made a substantive difference. The Ukrainians had no shortage of ways to destroy Russian armour, including a shitload of Soviet RPGs.
We know now it was Ukrainian artillery that annihilated the Russian column trying to take the capital after Zelensky screwed up by refusing to mobilise until the last minute.
>Show me evidence that NLAW actually made a substantive difference.
Sure thing, hoss. Observe the NLAW taking out a tank here in this video that was much-discussed at the time.
Turns out that in that dead tank was the general in charge of 3 BTGs attacking Kiev (one of them is visible on the road behind, the other two were coming down other roads a few miles away to the east and west)
The outcome of this single NLAW is partially visible here:
where the russian tanks are milling around like they had no fucking idea what to do, because with their general dead they didn't have any fucking idea what to do. Not captured on video are similar things happening to the other two BTG columns a few miles to the east and west.
and here
where the Ukrainians are repossessing the abandoned russian tanks. Ukraine destroyed or captured over 80 vehicles in this one column, similar results were achieved against the BTG to the west, though the BTG to the east managed to escape with relatively light losses.
Russia never again seriously threatened Kiev. Two weeks later the Russians left northern Ukraine in the infamous "feint".
Too bad that video in particular did not show a NLAW but an RPG-29.
The NLAW doesn't produce that much white smoke, even in low temperatures. That's one of the main selling points, concealed firing and low detectability.
That white smoke is characteristic for Soviet era AT-weapons.
However, you're right that the NLAW made a significant difference in the early days of the defense, especially in Mariupol where an Azov AT team with NLAWS destroyed a whole column of T72s and BMPs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXoyWH5FMgU
That tank was killed from a top attack missile. I've never heard that the Vampir has a top attack mode, and a quick google check doesn't turn up anything either. Not to be that guy, but I'm gonna need to see some source on your claim.
>It makes 100% of its targets genetic dead ends
So does a thermonuke.
The chud bomb can only be dropped on certain countries, most places are practically shielded from the effects. And the rest would do the "weak man create hard times > hard times create strong men"
>4% of the polish population is gay
2-3% is the standard error margin of gayry, just above schizophrenia. It's the natural state of evolution, survival of the fittest.
This is not Tel Aviv with its 25% self-admitted LGBT.

Maybe 2% of the population are receptive male homosexuals. But a large % of straight men would penetrate an attractive gay twink.
the NLAW was very effective at the start of the conflict
and the Storm Shadow sure is giving the russians a headache
and while the starstreak is effective, i feel MANPADS have evolved more into a means of deterrance by this point, it almost doesnt matter how effective a particular system is, nobody is flying directly into MANPADS territory anymore, its suicide

for an explanation of just how incredibly important that suicide mission really was.
I mean, when was the last time you actually saw Russian tanks deploying into a legitimate defensive formation? I feel like all Russian tanks do these days is just run around like their heads were cut off.
One guy with an NLAW sharts up and delays the entire attack. There probably are incidents like this which effect world history.

Exactly. I think a lot of us forget that Russia actually had some semblance of tactics on the individual level when they first invaded rather than the absolute clusterfuck they are now. I mean obviously they did some retarded ass shit like the bumrush to Kyiv, but their soldiers actually seemed like they were experienced and usually responded in the correct way. And it was basically the higher ups who ended up getting nearly all their experienced soldiers killed early on.
>MBT LAW
Very good >Starstreak
SACLOS for an anti-air missile is fucking retarded and so is this thing >Bradley
Designed by a US company prior to acquisition and manufactured primarily in the US. Doesn’t count. >Storm Shadow
Also an excellent weapon, but I’ll have to agree with you on the NLAW because of its importance in the early war and preventing the immediate collapse of the Ukrainian forces.
>SACLOS for an anti-air missile is fucking retarded and so is this thing
not really, its got extremely short time of flight and all the operator needs to do is hold the target in his field of view for 2-3 seconds, in return no countermeasures can stop it and its pretty much impossible to evade.
its got higher skill floor than a stinger but it absolutely murders aircraft if the operator is trained.
>OH NO! My little, overfapped, manlet arms cannot hold a lightweight tube still for a whole two seconds! This top of the line, immune to all countermeasures, short ranged AA missile is rendered worthless by how incredibly pathetic I am!
Can you show us on the doll where the Dede's tortureraped you Ivan?
Question for the footage autists: I expected to see Starstreak taking out BMPs and BTRs but I don't think I've seen any, am I just an idiot or are they not using it against light armored vehicles?
It’s 3 darts could penetrate an IFV type vehicle from the side but unless it cools off an ATGM pile it’s probably not going to cause a catastrophic kill
it throws explosive filled tungsten darts at supersonic speeds and is SACLOS, it's anti whatever the operator points it at with less than 40mm RHA. In theory, at least, so it's weird we haven't seen footage. Maybe they hold the Starstreak further behind the line for cruise missile duty?
The NLAW is the only British weapon which accomplished something big in this war >bradley
Glorified deminer >starstreak
Took down like 2 helos maybe? Idk >storm shadow
May have struck some targets, but you’ll have to take the AFU’s word for it. Do you believe in the ghost of kiev btw?
I'm sure this will be a sensible and productive thread filled with reasonable people with no biases or agendas.
Everybody has biases, anon.
>He likes fart porn and cocks.
Giga-based
>Bradly
What?
It's on the British Aerospace website:
https://www.baesystems.com/en/product/bradley-fighting-vehicle
Just cause they bought out the manufacturer doesnt mean they created it.
Buy a company that's recently oopsied a lot of people, and see how far that argument gets you when the lawsuits come rolling in. When you buy a company, their successes are now your successes, and their fuckups are now your fuckups.
>the entire legacy product line of Boeing ceases to exist because everything decent they make was designed by McDouglas
By that logic NLAW and Starstreak are french weapons because they're made by a Thales subsidiary
Isn't NLAW Swedish?
Yes but I think it was partly made by the uk too
A BAE subsidiary manufactures them in the states. Warriortard is (once again) false-flagging and trying to stir shit up.
I don't think he's false-flagging I think someone's trolling him would be my guess

NLAW kills MBT's just fine. The only stuff with more than 800mm of roof armour is an ICBM silo.

Because they don't even get to see videos of them being cubed, it's an extremely high speed cubifier.

Is this what people actually believe?
You'll have to ask the russians that they captured at the battle, they're the ones who claimed it.
Monty and Rommel did it

Looks like somone made it with the Bradley to purposely shit stir.
Yeah no shit you're in a warriortard thread
Thought so, why did he call his twitter Burp00589615 instead of Fart0058..
Warriorturd did you make this image lol? Cant find it anywhere

A thrown rock is faster than an F35, they can't even exceed mach without falling apart.

No, it's actually a pretty dogshit weapon.

There should be a chud prohibition treaty.

Russian men aren't straight though.
yes they are. it's not homo of you not enjoying it
You dont understand what 'gay' means, do you.

I mean, when was the last time you actually saw Russian tanks deploying into a legitimate defensive formation? I feel like all Russian tanks do these days is just run around like their heads were cut off.
Honestly I can't remember the last time I've actually seen platoon sized tank units operating as a unit instead of "Yuri bring up the T-62!"
Exactly. I think a lot of us forget that Russia actually had some semblance of tactics on the individual level when they first invaded rather than the absolute clusterfuck they are now. I mean obviously they did some retarded ass shit like the bumrush to Kyiv, but their soldiers actually seemed like they were experienced and usually responded in the correct way.

>Bradley was so impressive to the British MIC they bought the rights to it
kek
Out of that list I’d have to say either the storm shadow or Bradley had the most effect on the war so far. Nothing comes close to HIMARS/GMLRS

Your excuses aren’t relevant. Saclos is a retarded way to guide a modern MANPADS. Look to foreign sales numbers if your still confused
A lot of foreign sales are vatnik sovtrash you nincompoop.
>OH NO! My little, overfapped, manlet arms cannot hold a lightweight tube still for a whole two seconds! This top of the line, immune to all countermeasures, short ranged AA missile is rendered worthless by how incredibly pathetic I am!

Starstreak was never provided in large numbers
40mm armor isn’t very thick
it's enough to fuck up BMPs except BMP-3 from the front though, note how I'm not asking why it hasn't killed actual tanks, that's obvious
The NLAW is the only British weapon which accomplished something big in this war
