@alexfloyd4903 Antarctica is unique in international law: no single country "owns" any parts of it, but several countries have claimed portions of the continent. These claims, however, are regulated and largely suspended under the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), a landmark international agreement signed in 1959, with 12 original signatories that included countries with and without territorial claims on Antarctica. Today, 54 nations have acceded to the treaty, with 29 recognized as "consultative parties" due to their substantial research involvement. Despite the treaty's suspension of sovereignty assertions, several countries continue to maintain claims over specific areas:
Argentina and Chile both claim overlapping areas with the UK, leading to diplomatic contention, although they all abide by the Antarctic Treaty regulations.
Australia holds the largest claim, covering roughly 42% of Antarctica.
Norway has two claims, including Queen Maud Land and Peter I Island.
France claims a section known as Adélie Land.
Countries like the United States and Russia have not made any formal claims, though they reserve the right to do so in the future. They also maintain a significant presence in Antarctica through research stations, alongside other nations such as China, India, and South Korea, which have no territorial claims but are active in scientific research on the continent. No single country owns or exerts total control over Antarctica. Instead, the Antarctic Treaty has created a unique legal and cooperative framework that manages the continent as a shared international space dedicated to peace and science. This approach underscores the global importance of environmental preservation and peaceful cooperation, especially in fragile ecosystems like Antarctica.

1. NLAW stops tanks dead in their tracks
Weighing just 12.5 kilograms, NLAW is a portable, shoulder-launched system that can be used by a single operator. Its armour-piercing warhead can destroy a heavily protected modern battle tank with one shot, and the system is effective at ranges between 20 and 800 metres.
Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt says in the field, this combination of mobility, flexibility and destructiveness is a game-changer. “With NLAW, you don’t need a platoon to attack tanks,” he says. “You can train an ordinary soldier to use the system in an hour. And then you can have NLAW-equipped soldiers across the entire environment waiting for a tank to advance.There could be an NLAW equipped solder behind any rock or bush.” Hovbrandt says where tank operators and advancing forces could once track down anti-tank platoons to neutralise the opposition, they now face a threat that is far harder to locate – and more lethal. NLAW forces tanks to change course so they can be herded them into ambushes.

2. NLAW hits the target
One of the major challenges anti-tank weapons face in complex environments is hitting the target despite countermeasures and obstacles including other vehicles, heat sources and power lines. Unlike many other anti-tank weapons, NLAW does not rely on active target seeking system. Instead, it uses ‘predicted line of sight’ targeting, incorporating magnetic and optical sensors to rapidly travel to the target location. No lock on signature is required. The operator simply tracks the target for a few seconds before firing and NLAW does the rest.
NLAW - hit your target
Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt says NLAW also allows operators to quickly select the distance at which the missile arms itself. “Say you are in complex terrain where a number of vehicles have been hit and you have a burning vehicle 50 metres in front of you and the true target is 150 metres away. You just switch over the arm distance to 100 metres. The missile will fly blind over the first target and then start looking for the target.”
3. NLAW leaves tanks nowhere to hide
While many anti-tank missiles need to first gain altitude before launching a top attack, NLAW’s Overfly Attack function is effective at a range of just 20 metres making it effective at short range and even in situations where a tank in under cover. The missile flies about a metre over the top of the tank and launches devastating attack on the roof. The system is also extremely effective in situations where the operator can only see a tiny portion of the tank. “If a tank is concealed behind cover with a hatch or antenna visible, the NLAW operator simply aims at the visible part of the tank,” says Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt. “The missile then travels one metre above the line of sight before taking the tank out from above.”
4. NLAW turns the hunter into the hunted
Tanks have traditionally allowed operators to hunt down the opposition in relative safety. NLAW turns the tables. Because it is man portable and flexible, it allows tanks to be attacked from almost any position – from high up in a building, from behind a tree or from within a ditch. It can also be fired safely from within enclosed spaces, such as rooms, even with other soldiers present. “You can be anywhere,” says Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt says. “You can fire down 45 degrees and can shoot from inside a building, from a basement or from the second floor of a building out of the range of most tanks.” The system is equally effective day or night.
5. NLAW can destroy different targets
While NLAW has the power to stop a tank, it is also effective against a range of other targets. In direct attack mode, it can be used against soft targets like trucks, buses cars, helicopters. When fired directly through a window and into a building fragments will cause significant damage.

Another key benefit is its fast response time. “For a trained gunner, it takes just five or six seconds to go from carrying it in his left hand, to raise it to his shoulder, get out the sites, select firing support, and aim at the target,” says Lars-Örjan Hovbrandt. “The missile can cover 400 metres in under two seconds. So, it can be up to 600 metres away from detection to hit in less than 10 seconds. That’s very fast.”
