Live shooting at “Eugen Kvaternik” military training range near Slunj
Artillery Rocket Battalion of the Armoured Mechanized Guard Brigade has today, on Thursday, 30 June 2011, conducted live shooting with SVLR – multiple self-propelled rocket launchers BM-21 Grad 122 mm on the military training area “Eugen Kvaternik” Slunj.
Tactical position was defined as a request for fire support in defence of our forces, and SLVR Platoon was assigned as a fire support to Infantry Company. Shooting has been done by three SVLRs, including 80 troops. The area hit was at a distance of 10.5 km. The live exercise was particularly important for the SVLR crew composed mainly of soldiers who joined CAF in the last two to three years and had no opportunity for live shooting, and now they could apply all that they had learned during previous training and work.
Besides Croatian language used in the exercise, communication in English was also used.
