Exercise of the Austrian Armed Forces: At the military training area in Bruckneudorf, soldiers from Armored Infantry Battalion 35 and 80 militia soldiers trained for combat in an urban environment during the “Mückenstich 24” exercise.
Duel simulation systems and enemy actors
The exercise was supported by basic military personnel from the 1st mechanized infantry company and the reconnaissance platoon of the staff company. In urban combat, which was made challenging by duel simulation systems and realistically positioned enemy actors, the soldiers of Panzergrenadier Battalion 35 had to fight their way through enemy-occupied buildings under difficult conditions. https://militaeraktuell.at/mobile-hangar-loesungen-von-saab-und-fabspace/ The exercise was a success for all participants – professional soldiers, militia and conscripts – and showed how well the battalion works together.
The mechanized infantry battalion 35
The Panzergrenadiers in the Lower Austrian municipality of Großmittel are equally adept at fighting from their infantry fighting vehicles as they are at fighting on foot. They also attach particular importance to training together with main battle tanks. The extensive capabilities of the grenadiers make the unit a versatile “tool” of the 4th Armored Infantry Brigade.
