Joint Tactical Training by Serbian Artillery Units and Azerbaijan Armed Forces in the Combat Use of 155mm SPGH B/52-15 “Nora”
A joint tactical training of the artillery units of the Serbian Armed Forces and Azerbaijan Armed Forces in the combat employment of 155mm B/52-15 self-propelled howitzer “Nora” was carried out at the military training grounds in our country.
The two-week training was conducted under the Bilateral Military Cooperation Plan between the two countries — first in the peacetime location of the Mixed Artillery Brigade in the city of Nis and later at the “Pasuljanske Livade” firing range, where the live fire firings were conducted.
Instructors from the Mixed Artillery Brigade taught Azerbaijani artillerymen, whose units are equipped with the Serbian-made self-propelled howitzers, the tactics of employment of this modern and powerful system, as well as effective target engagement in line with the defined standards and norms.
The training was led by Lieutenant Colonel Aleksandar Cvetković, commander of the B/52 “Nora” self-propelled gun howitzer artillery battalion within the Serbia’s largest artillery unit, who explained that the training was executed in two phases. The first phase took place at the “Mija Stanimirović” barracks and the “Rujnik” range in Niš. In the second phase, at the “Pasuljanske Livade” range, day and night live firing with 155 mm self-propelled howitzers were carried out.
The introduction of the 155 mm “Nora” into operational service has significantly enhanced the Serbian Armed Forces’ ability to deliver reliable, precise, and powerful fire support to units.
