[edit] Singular title?

Shouldn't this be at a singular title? Rmhermen 17:16, Nov 11, 2004 (UTC)

Done ! Rama 10:08, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] TOW missile

I can't find any reference to British Warriors equipped with TOW, found a site where the text was probably lifted from - so that's one copyviol less anyhow. GraemeLeggett 20:11, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

According to ospreys warrior infantry fighting vehicle book, the launchers are tow compatible but instead use the Bae swingfire missle, but are in the process of being upgraded to the javelin(the javelin upgrade is not in the book but that is the case.) The bae swingfire missle has a CE armour penetration of about 800mm RHA. mr j d bishop.

[edit] Crew Numbers?

I'm sure I've seen these operated with a crew of two and a payload of 8 infantrymen. Anyone else heard of this? Rob cowie 16:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

normally it has three crewmembers, a driver, gunner, and commander. But i have heard of the commander taking the role of the gunner aswell. And on the infantry payload, it depends on the warrior, it's normally a section of 8 men while in a milan carrier and command variant it's around four.

[edit] Specify that Warrior 2000 was not produced?

Should it be specified that there were no orders for the Warrior 2000? Edward Sandstig 17:52, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speed

I have changed the previous entry of '75km/h' to '46mph (75km/h)'. Since this is an article about a vehicle in use with the British army - and since we Brits rarely use metric in terms of measuring speed, I think this is more than justified. --195.195.239.151 12:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC) (Mr. Blake)

[edit] Removed Section

Its armour is exceptional and has proven capable of protecting crew against mines; in Bosnia, A BBC TV crew captured a Warrior driving over a Serbian anti-tank mine, with little resulting damage.

I have removed this, as there is no citation given, no year, nor any real detail that makes it particularly worthwhile in this article. --195.195.239.151 12:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC) (Mr. Blake)

[edit] Combat History

I've noticed that no combat history or statistics have been included. I am wondering how it has worked in comparision to the M2/M3 Bradley fielded by the US Army. Both vehicles operate in the same function, but designed around different doctrines.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.114.206.48 (talk • contribs)
