00:00.766 --> 00:04.046
(bazooka firing)

00:04.046 --> 00:06.796
(rockets firing)

00:09.400 --> 00:11.730
- This is a joint live-fire exercise.

00:11.730 --> 00:16.300
There's Bulgarians and of
course the Americans out here

00:16.300 --> 00:18.368
doing "from ground to air" and also

00:18.368 --> 00:19.201
(machine gun firing)

00:19.201 --> 00:22.273
"from air to land" fires.

00:28.274 --> 00:31.024
(metal creaking)

00:32.830 --> 00:35.580
(metal creaking)

00:36.916 --> 00:37.749
- Route to BCU!

00:37.749 --> 00:40.499
(rockets firing)

00:41.912 --> 00:43.713
(machine gun firing)

00:43.713 --> 00:46.803
(bazooka firing)

00:46.803 --> 00:49.660
(bazooka firing)

00:49.660 --> 00:51.980
- SHORAD, Short-Range Air Defense,

00:51.980 --> 00:55.924
is just basically our ability to engage

00:55.924 --> 00:59.430
a hostile aircraft in
the immediate vicinity.

00:59.430 --> 01:01.900
(machine gun firing)

01:01.900 --> 01:04.561
- I've been to help a
lot at the larger levels,

01:04.561 --> 01:07.260
just seeing the forces all work together,

01:07.260 --> 01:11.540
and then at the smaller level,
company and squad level.

01:11.540 --> 01:14.046
With the Avengers working side by side,

01:14.046 --> 01:19.046
and the Stinger teams with
Bulgarian MANPAD teams as well.

01:19.790 --> 01:23.906
- It's been over 20 years
since they've fired a

01:23.906 --> 01:25.943
SHORAD or MANPAD system
at the end of the day,

01:25.943 --> 01:28.623
and these are the first
soldiers to fire it.

01:30.777 --> 01:33.373
- Tracking, tracking,
tracking, tracking, tracking.

01:34.570 --> 01:35.787
Target destroyed.
