Thanks for sharing Spike! Where is this range in Germany? In my time in Germany`s Bundeswehr I was only luky enough to see life fireing of Milan anti tank missiles and Leopards2 using the main gun at a range in Manitoba Canada.

This was from an initial coordination exorcise with the Bundeswehr in Wildflecken.
