Hi chaps
One for the old n bold gunners...
How long did a typical fire mission last back in the good old days in BAOR?
You know, the old "Fire Mission, Grid 123456, enemy in woods, neutralise now" sort of thing.
I'm reading up on the Soviets during the cold war era and they had everything down to a set formula - such and such a target requires X rounds per hectare for N minutes for supression, increase rounds by X times 2 or minutes by 5 for destruction.
Did we do something similar?
TIA
