*Carl gustaf / NLAW bundled .

we should try to move on from disposable AT rocket , its actually quite funny , i don't see anypoint for having more than 2-3 personnel for disposable AT rocket like this C90 Instalaza .

unless it was reloadable like carl gustaf , then the extra personnel is welcomed as a loader for the recoiless rifle .

Everything has to start from something . Not to mention portability was always positive edging point in combat . Today decent AT missile class were always requires 2/3 operator for their positioning and operating it . Launcher , tripod/standing and the missile it self . Do not fooled by the look of this .


The missile alone was allready a whooping 40 kg while the launcher are 56 kg . Unless we are starting to draft hulk for our army 1 launcher per squad was allready burdened our bois in the field

Around 2-3 MRTT ?
My guess is 1 or 2 at the most
im kinda against gripen offer , while in the brazilian case they've got a experienced and far more sophisticated aerospace industries to support SAAB transfer of knowledge portofolio (Embraer) , im on pessimistic side with PT DI
What he said, many of us shout about ToT but only few know the capability of our industry to absorb the technology. This is when the technology should be directed to credible domestic R&D center rather than the industries it self. As much of the industry willing to absorb the technology, at the end of the day its going to be all about the money, economic scale, production, etc. They wont be willing to invest money on the new technology (in most cases they dont have the budget unless provided by state) and lean more towards assembling things, parts production and whatever things that would create the cash stream.

Disposable AT Launcher are lighter than reloadable AT Launcher. Basically, the disposable one are just a rocket inside a fiberglass (like) tube.

For example, ISIS were made SPG-9 round disposable launcher for the sake to make more practical and lighter weapon than have to bring the bulky, heavy, semi-stationary (because to heavy to running around with it) SPG-9 running with them in Mosul before. They put the PG-9 inside a non metal tube and made the simple detonating device to detonate the rockets.

Can that disposable AT tube used again? With simple unscientific and unproven view, yes can, just put more round there and put LED light without the glass to make fire + something that can burn in the primer as a detonator. But, dont be that silly.

however the newest variants of carl gustaf , the M4 carl gustaf , is just as light as the disposable AT rocket , they've managed to weight down the launcher from 13-14kg range into merely 6-7kg , but expect they're going to be more expensive .

not only that , they have a wide range munition selection that can be used according to what kind of target they wanted to blow up , even the guided one exist .

This. Our biggest problem has always been money. This is the exact reason why we should take it because we're willing to spend $79 bil now (well, at least until 2024 :) ). How much should we dedicate to this and technically how? Well, that's the stuff that the MoD, MoSOE, MoF, and PT DI have to discuss and decide.

We're always complaining about our military industry capability (or the lack of it) but when the time finally comes we're willing to spend big, we back out.

When it comes to versatility nothing beat the gustav . But when it come to the capability the question arw starting to pop up ...

Any meaningfull AT munition are coming in double charges . Even that still come in variable result

Gustav = more widespread within infantry.
Something with homing capabilities = small number used by elite unit.

This anti tank discussion is more fitting to army threat, isn't it?

Not always been the money. Most of the time we take in more then we can chew.

I'm getting ahead of myself here, but it'd be nice if by let's say 2035 we're able to produce double engine (through KF-21) and single engine (through Gripen) by ourselves;)

edit : typo, I accidentally typed Viper instead of Gripen
There is an alternative for single engine's ToT other than Grippen E: The India's LM F-21 program. If we can bargain to US for ToT, perhaps we can ask this F-21 program which apparently been abandoned by India. The F-21 is the F-16 accustomed to India's requirements for single engine fighter. It has basic design from F-16. Thus we have been very familiar with these F-16's technology, MRO, and spare parts. And to learn the design engineering and manufacturing from the platform that we've been known very well is more realistic for a "start-up" country like us. The commonality and interchangeability with existing F-16 technology and spare parts are also supported by worldwide established F-16 ecosystem.

In my opinion, For more than 70 units to be purchased, LM will consider this option
