EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a moment of intense firepower as a Stormer vehicle launches a Starstreak High Velocity Missile (HVM) during Exercise Javelin. This impressive display of military might took place in the British Army Training Area Suffield (BATUS), Alberta, Canada, as part of the Combat Service Support Battle Group. Comprising units such as 1 Yorkshire Regiment, 4 Royal Logistic Corp, 4 Battalion Royal Electrical Engineers (4 REME), 4 Medical Regiment (4 Med Reg), and 174 Provo Company Royal Military Police, this formidable force showcased their capabilities on Ex Prairie Lightning. The tracked Stormer vehicle serves as an agile platform for the HVM system, offering both protection and mobility to its detachment. With eight missiles ready to fire and nine more stowed inside, it ensures rapid engagement against attack helicopters or other low-level threats. This versatile system can be fired using either the lightweight multiple launcher or from the shoulder. Its three dart-like projectiles deliver explosive warheads capable of making multiple hits on targets. Equipped with a roof-mounted air defense alerting device for target detection and prioritization, it also features a panoramic weapon sight at the front. Sgt Mark Webster RLC expertly captured this awe-inspiring moment that showcases not only the advanced technology employed by armed forces but also their unwavering commitment to maintaining national security.
