The NLAW anti-tank system has attracted plenty of praise in recent months. Short for next-generation Light Anti-Tank Weapon this shoulder-fired guided-missile system is so simple and it can be used effectively by soldiers with minimum training. Its ability to stop main battle tanks dead in their trucks anywhere from 20 to 800 meters has made headlines around the planet.
