Pictured at night is the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) firing at Kirkcudbright Ranges. Army Reserve Royal Artillery Regiment has been firing one of the Army's most sophisticated weapons platforms, in the southwest of Scotland this week. Reserve soldiers from 101 Regiment Royal Artillery, based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, fired the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) at Kirkcudbright Ranges on the Solway coast, in Dumfries and Galloway. This is the first time in the last 15 years, that the GMLRS has been fired in Scotland. The GMLRS is a self-propelled, armoured missile and rocket launcher, which can fire 12 rounds per minute to a distance of up to 180 miles. It is one of the Royal Artillery's most powerful weapons. The reservists, who only get to fire live MLRS very rarely, were doing so as part of their Annual Deployment Exercise, which sees them practice all of their basic soldier and specialist Artillery skills for two weeks. This is in addition to the training they get on Drill Nights at their Army Reserve Centres, and on weekend exercises and deployments.
