Default Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

Hmm, i've thought that game Stryker+ is the variant with slated armour.After all, it has some (altrough far too low) anti-HEAT armour.

Anyway, in Iraq, polish BRDM-2s and Szakals (Jackals) (wich are BRDM-2s modified for desert conditions) use "mud flaps"- like side shields:


(This is actually modified Brdm-2 Zbik-B)

Well, afaik those shields aren't as effective as true bar cage (but better than nothing, i guess). Very nice slated armor for Szakal was developed, but our decidents still havent decided to buy it ( grrr.):
