What type of fires does the firing battery utilize?

The firing battery utilizes a variety of fire types, including cannon, mortar, rocket, and missile fires. This comprehensive approach allows for flexible and adaptive responses to different battlefield scenarios. By employing cannon fires, the battery can deliver accurate indirect fire support. Mortar fires provide unique capabilities in terms of range and trajectory, allowing for engagement of targets that may be obscured or sheltered. Rocket fires extend the battery's reach and can deliver multiple munitions rapidly, while missile fires offer precision and lethality against high-value targets.

Each of these fire types brings its own advantages to the tactical operations of a firing battery, enabling it to respond to a wide range of threats and missions effectively. This versatility is essential for maximizing combat effectiveness and ensuring that the firing battery can support ground troops in various operational environments. In contrast, limiting the firing capabilities to just one type, such as cannon, missile, or drone strikes alone, would not provide the same level of operational flexibility and effectiveness needed in modern combat scenarios.
