Summary

[edit]
Description

A Royal Navy gunner opens up on a target with a minigun during a night live firing serial.

HMS Illustrious was taking part in Cougar, a three month deployment to the Mediterranean as part of the United Kingdom’s Response Force Task Group, exercising with key allies.

Exercises included Corsican Lion to test the maritime element of the UK-French Joined Expeditionary Force, and Exercise Albanian Lion which provided superb faculties for the Lead commando group to train with Albanian forces, consolidating our relationship.
