British Army personnel have carried out the first live-firing of the next-generation Archer howitzer amid freezing conditions in one of the largest series of Nato artillery exercises ever conducted in Europe.
As temperatures plummeted to -3 degrees Celsius just outside the Arctic Circle, 350 Army personnel joined soldiers from 28 countries – including Nato’s newest member Finland – on Exercise Dynamic Front 25.
Members of 19 Royal Artillery are working with US, French and Finnish troops in Lapland on the Rovajarvi Training Area, testing the Archer alongside the Finnish K9 Thunder mobile artillery system.
