Default Re: UK IFV Warrior, new infomation.

SLAT armor will be effective against older RPGs, but will have smaller effect on more modern warheads like RPG-7VR. So simpliest solution is +33cm HEAT armor to covered areas. SLAT armor will not provide much protection against bigger ATGM missiles(Hellfires,AT-6,9 e.t.c... have better pen than 33..) as their mass and speed could destroy grill and penetrate base armor.
