In this photo print, the Light Dragoons showcase their formidable firepower on Warcop Ranges. As darkness blankets the training area, soldiers unleash a mesmerizing display of skill and precision. Tracer rounds from the . 50 calibre Heavy Machine Gun mounted on a Jackal streak across the sky like lasers, leaving trails of brilliance in their wake. The night exercise is illuminated by flares fired to reveal the target area. After assisting with flood relief efforts during the festive period, approximately 200 troops from the Light Dragoons have returned to their regular activities. However, they now find themselves engaged in intense gunner training at Cumbria's Warcop Training Area. Under cover of darkness, these dedicated soldiers tirelessly hone their shooting skills. The scene that unfolds during this night-firing exercise is nothing short of breathtaking. Flares explode over the hillside, casting an ethereal glow upon tracers that crisscross the range with incredible speed and accuracy. Muzzle blasts punctuate each shot as soldiers demonstrate their proficiency with various weapons including grenade launchers and machine guns. This powerful image captures not only the technical prowess of these troops but also highlights their unwavering commitment to excellence as members of The Royal Armoured Corps' prestigious Light Dragoons unit. Photographer Sgt Jamie Peters RLC has masterfully captured this atmospheric moment where action meets artistry – a testament to both military strength and visual splendor.
