Training in the Operation of 155 mm self-propelled gun-howitzers B/52 M-15 “Nora”
In the area of peacetime deployment of the Mixed Artillery Brigade in Niš, the training of members of the unit in the operation of 155 mm self-propelled gun-howitzers B/52 M-15 “Nora” is underway.
The training is carried out with the aim of preserving the achieved level of ability and improving individual and collective skills in the Brigade. The crews of this weapon are practicing weapon emplacement, transition the weapon from marching position to combat position, identifying targets and firing data calculation in the given norms.
Second Lieutenant Maja Stojiljković, deputy commander of the self-propelled gun-howitzer artillery battery, points out that good knowledge of tactics is extremely important for operational success, along with proper handling of the weapon.
— The self-propelled howitzer is technologically advanced and automated, and it is up to the crewmen to make maximum use of all its capabilities. Training is not only firing; it also includes tactical operations, as well as system maintenance, knowledge of the functions and right decision-making, said Second Lieutenant Stojiljković.
Next, the combat crews are supposed to undergo more complex training in the field and firing in accordance with a specific program, where they will have the opportunity to demonstrate their tactical and fire skills in the implementation of tasks in combat operations.
Introducing this modern weapon into operational use in the Serbian Armed Forces is significant for the improvement of combat capabilities of the Mixed Artillery Brigade, i.e. the ability to provide reliable, fast and precise artillery-missile support to Army units while conducting operations.
