British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS) ranges rang out with the sound of Scimitars, AS90’s and small arms fire during Exercise Prairie Storm 4 in Canada.
The two week exercise includes live-fire along with the use of the tactical exploitation system.
The Household Cavalry Regiment kicked things off with their Scimitars zeroing their barrels on the ranges. Just opposite them the newly formed Royal Lancers were digging in on a dismounted infantry range.
The Exercise will see a host of British Army equipment being put through its paces.
L129A1 Sharpshooter Rifle
Used by some of the best shots in the infantry, the Sharpshooter rifle has improved the long-range firepower available on the front line.
With an effective range of 800 meters, the Sharpshooter complements the already potent range of weaponry used by our soldiers.
