Destroying or damaging military equipment, overcoming enemy forces – the practice of these was the purpose of the shooting training held for the scout troops of MH 5. Bocskai István Infantry Brigade. The soldiers prepared for fighting a potential urban battle by doing hand grenade throwing exercises during which they had to launch hand grenades into a building through the windows and, after the explosions, continue fighting the „enemy troops” with fake bullets.
