Members of the Cypriot National Guard Undergo Training in Combat Use of Nora Self-Propelled Howitzers
Based on the Bilateral Military Cooperation Plan with the Republic of Cyprus, members of the Cypriot National Guard attended the training in the combat use of Nora self-propelled howitzers 155 mm B-52 M15 from Jugoimport - SDPR production range in the Republic of Serbia.
Nora self-propelled howitzers entered into service of The National Guard of Cyprus several years ago.
The training of Cypriot soldiers was carried out by instructors from the Mixed Artillery Brigade, where this modern artillery system is in service. During the two-week training, they passed their knowledge on the tactics of howitzer use to the trainees and trained them in handling and firing in accordance with the standards and norms for the effective operation of this combat system.
The final training activities were carried out at Pasuljanske livade range and included taking up firing position, reconnaissance, detection of targets and acquisition, preliminary and live firing of self-propelled howitzers.
The results of artillery live firing were excellent and testify to the high quality of training provided for Cypriot crew at the Mixed Artillery Brigade and prove that the goal of the training was achieved.
The Firing at the Pasuljanska Livade range was attended by the Ambassador of Cyprus to the Republic of Serbia, His Excellency Andreas Fotiou.
