Units of the Northern Fleet (SF) have worked out the destruction of tanks of a conditional enemy by direct fire. The gunners of a separate motorized rifle brigade of the Army Corps of the Northern Fleet used self-propelled howitzers and anti-tank guns. This was reported in the press service of the Northern Fleet.
According to the scenario of the exercises, the SF units had to stop a column of armored vehicles of a conditional enemy. The gunners fired MT-12 Rapier anti-tank guns and 2S3M Acacia self-propelled howitzers at targets at a range of up to three kilometers. Each crew received three artillery shots.
