EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Scimitar armoured fighting vehicle in action on Salisbury Plain during Exercise Lion Strike. This exercise serves as a rigorous test for Majors from various Army trades, challenging their command and control abilities. Assisting in the exercise were 4 RIFLES from 1 Armoured Infantry Brigade, 1 YORKS, and the KRH in Challenger 2 Main Battle Tanks from 12 Armoured Infantry Brigade. The training took place across different locations within the vast Salisbury Plain Training Area. The Scimitar armoured fighting vehicle proves its worth with its exceptionally low ground pressure and compact size, making it an invaluable asset when maneuvering through hostile terrains or difficult landscapes. Equipped with a powerful 30mm Rarden cannon for self-defense purposes, this light tank is primarily utilized by reconnaissance regiments of the Royal Armoured Corps and recce elements of the armoured infantry. Cpl Si Longworth RLC (Phot) skillfully captured this momentous scene that showcases both the impressive machinery involved in military exercises like Exercise Lion Strike and highlights the dedication of our armed forces personnel to their ongoing training.
