Firepower Demonstration At The Army War College, Mhow - I

November 23, 2011.
The Indian Army's  Army War College at Mhow conducted a firepower demonstration. The press was also invited to witness this event.
That is how I attended this awesome display of firepower. This was primarily a demonstration conducted for the Junior Command (JC) course. The firepower demonstration showed the use of T-72 tanks of the Armoured Corps, Infantry Combat Vehicles BMP-II of the Mechanised Infantry and 105 mm Indian Field Gun of the Artillery. Here is a random sprinkling of pics clicked that day. There will be more in another blog post....
