From 18 to 20 October 2022, artillery fire training for the second half of 2022 was conducted at the Petrota Range in Xanthi with personnel, weapon systems, and assets of D Army Corps “THRAKI” Artillery Units.

The fires were conducted using all prescribed fire support request, coordination, and execution procedures in order to achieve the maximum possible synergy of all those involved in the operations, thus materialising the “train as you fight” principle.

Specifically, fires were conducted by self-propelled M109 and PzH 2000GR guns and RM-70 multiple rocket launchers, with target reconnaissance and designation provided by ΟΗ – 58D KIOWA reconnaissance helicopters.

The last day of fire training was attended by the Commanding General of D Army Corps “THRAKI”, Lieutenant General Ioannis Tsioplos, who confirmed the high level of operational training of the personnel in the technical and tactical use of the weapon systems during the conduct of fires.
