The FV510 Warrior is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle developed for the British Army in the 1980s, forming the armored backbone of mechanized infantry battalions. Built by GKN Defence (later BAE Systems), it entered service in 1988 and saw use in the Gulf War, Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The vehicle is tracked, weighs 24.9 tonnes, and carries a crew of three plus seven passengers; a Perkins CV-8 diesel produces 550 horsepower for 22.1 hp/t and a top speed of 80 km/h in both directions, with neutral steering and an automatic transmission.
The gunner turret mounts a stabilized 30 mm L21A1 cannon with APDS-L14, APSE-L5, and HE-L13 ammunition and a coaxial 7.62 mm L94A1 chain gun, and is fitted with smoke grenades and a fire control system. The main sight offers 1x and 8x zoom without a rangefinder; the commander has a separate 1x/8x sight. Optional addons include Milan ATGMs and composite armour.
This vehicle features two addons: Composites and Milan. The Composites addon costs 1000 points and equips the FV510 Warrior with additional Composite armour blocks on the LFP, UFP and the hull sides. The Milan addon costs 2,000 points and provides the commander with the Milan 2 ATGM; this missile features 730 mm of maximum penetration, which significantly boosts the Warrior's anti-tank capabilities and overall effectiveness.
