Summary[edit]

Description
English: Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicles are pictured during an exercise conducted by 2nd Battalion Royal Welsh (2 RWELSH).

The Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle has the speed and performance to keep up with Challenger 2 Main Battle Tanks over the most difficult terrain, and the firepower and armour to support infantry in the assault.

The Warrior (WR) family of 7 variants of armoured vehicles entered service in 1988 and have proved a resounding success for Armoured Infantry (AI) battlegroups (BG) in the Gulf War, Bosnia and Kosovo and Iraq. They provide excellent mobility, lethality and survivability for the Infantry and have enabled key elements from the Royal Artillery (RA) and Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) to operate effectively within the Battlegroup. A highly successful armoured fighting vehicle, Warrior can be fitted with Enhanced Armour and is continuously being updated; for example, the Battle-group Thermal Imager (BTI) is being fitted to increase its night-fighting capability and is second to none.

Warrior infantry command and section vehicles carry a turret mounted 30 mm Rarden cannon that will defeat light armoured vehicles out to 1,500 m. An 8x magnification image-intensifying night sight is fitted, and eight 94 mm Light Anti-Armour Weapon (LAW) HEAT rockets can be stowed in the vehicle.
