Fire power, manoeuvre exercise and display of equipment was held today at KK Ranges near Ahmednagar, under the aegis of Armoured Corps Centre and School (ACC&S) and the Mechanised Infantry Regimental Centre (MIRC).
The demonstration of fire power and manoeuvre showcased mechanised forces capabilities, proficiency and operational preparedness, a defence release said here.
The ear-deafening thunder of tanks and infantry combat vehicles (ICVs), unleashed lethal and accurate fire power at the KK Ranges, the release said.
These institutions, besides training the personnel of armoured forces, also train students from friendly foreign countries in Mechanised Warfare and Technical Training on Armoured Fighting Vehicles, it said.

During the exercise most modern equipment in the inventory of the Army fired with precision in cohesion with each other, with the main attraction being T-90 tanks, said the release.
The Mechanised Forces Fire Power and Manoeuvre Exercise was conducted over two hours wherein during Part I, the technological and tactical capability of the integrated might of the tanks, Infantry Combat Vehicles (ICVs) and Attack Helicopters were showcased, the release said.

During Part II, firing on static and dynamic mode was carried out, followed by display of manoeuvre by the 'A' vehicles.
The display of the power of tanks and ICVs showcased the crew's adeptness in handling the equipment and hitting the bulls eye everytime. The Hunter Killer concept was amply proven by the T-90 tanks, which while on the move, accurately engaged different targets at varying ranges, said the release.

This was followed by a spectacular display of quick attack on a simulated enemy position, by a Combat Group duly supported by the Indian Air Force fighter aircrafts (Su-30MKI).
The spectators were enthralled by the sight of tanks charging on to them, supported by covering fire and bombardment by Artillery and Air Force Fighter Aircrafts, said the release.
On termination of this manoeuvre, spectators had an opportunity to see the Tanks, Infantry Combat Vehicles (ICVs), different weapon platforms and ammunition from close quarters and assess their capability, stated the release.
