During the fire demo we saw one more interesting thing, thing you could expect in Staw Wars or other sci-fi movie.
Laser canon. Yes, there was Boxer IFV with HEL module known also as „HEL on wheels". What's HEL? High-Energy
Laser or laser canon if you want. The future is already here! Sadly, no whiz and bang sounds, no lasers visible. But
deadly – the target was drone on the few hundred meters distance (shot down) and the technical pickup truck with
heavy machine gun on the back. HEL burned through the rounds on the belt...
The smoke and HE rounds for mortars, including
those on Wiesel 2 vehicles, caused some troubles
– it was hot, grass was dry and it started fire. Due
the fire on the training ground, firefighters had to
act and the live fire was stopped. And it caused
some delays...
