I posted this in response to a thread, but this news about light antitank weapons gave me a boost,

so I thought I would post it on its own in hopes of giving others some encouraging news:

The British have sent thousands of light, antitank weapons to Ukraine. These are portable weapons that individual Ukrainians can, and are, using to blast the shit out of the Russians' tanks.

The NLAW anti-tank missiles provided to Ukraine by the UK is proving itself in fighting around Ukraine.
The portable, shoulder-fired missile is easy to use and has earned praise from Ukrainian troops.

The Next Generation Light Antitank Weapon (NLAW) was provided by the British before the war in January. The Ukrainians are setting up counter-attacks and ambushes in the suburbs of Kyiv on Russian armored columns using the NLAW. The NLAW system is proving its mettle.

Since the NLAWs came over before the war started, they were able to be distributed widely to soldiers, and the Ukrainians are taking the initiative to blast Russian armor.
