- Description
- The Desert Warrior is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle, a British export variant of the FV510 Warrior fitted with an American turret carrying the 25mm M242 Bushmaster and BGM-71C I-TOW missiles, developed for Kuwait and other Gulf customers. It weighs 29 tonnes with a crew of three and seven passengers, and is tracked. The Perkins CV-8 diesel produces 550 hp for 19 hp/t and a top speed of 75 km/h in both directions, with neutral steering.
The turret has a stabilizer, smoke grenades, 7.62mm M240 coaxial, and a fire control system with laser rangefinder, lead, and Gen 2 green thermals (3.3x–10x). The commander has a stabilized sight with laser and 2x–8x zoom. This vehicle features two addons: Improved Autocannon and Improved Missiles. The Improved Autocannon addon costs 250 points and replaces the Desert Warrior’s stock M791 APDS with M919 DU APFSDS; this significantly increases the Bushmaster's effectiveness against armor by providing a 21 mm increase in maximum penetration (from 81 mm to 102 mm) and a 2x spall multiplier. The Improved Missiles addon costs 500 points and replaces the stock BGM-71C I-TOW with the BGM-71F TOW 2 series. This upgrade introduces two distinct missile variants: the TOW 2A, which features a tandem warhead and an additional 200 mm of penetration (from 800 mm to 1000 mm), and the TOW 2B, which utilizes a "top-attack" flight profile to strike the thinner roof armor of enemy vehicles with 150 mm of penetration.
