Loud noises in Galați County EAGLE FURY
Belgian “Piranha” armored vehicles, French light armored vehicles (VBLs) and “Leclerc” tanks carried out a firing session in Smârdan Secondary Combat Training Center.
Soldiers from the Forward Land Force Battle Group (France framework nation) – FLF BG (FRA FN) – took part in the second EAGLE FURY exercise of their mandate, under Belgian command, alongside Romanian troops from the 20th Infantry Battalion “Black Scorpions”.
The aim of the exercise is to assess different tactical shooting scenarios, by integrating French cavalrymen, Romanian, Polish and Luxembourgish infantrymen with the Belgian infantry company. Thus, all allied armed forces deployed in Romania validated and maintained the joint operational capability.
In two days, over 57,800 rounds of ammunition and more than a hundred smoke bombs have been fired by the Battle Group alongside their allies.
