Thread: military terminology

How do you say in Russian:
1. The army / The soldiers has / have done gymnasiums / military exercises by using Anti-tank guns with real ammunition
(Apologize but even in English I don't know how to express this sentence)

Do you mean they were learning to shoot from Anti-tank guns with live ammo? Or were they just running with them in full equipment of anti-tank troops? Or there were some complex battle excercises?

They are experienced soldiers that they were using their existing knowledge on targets (i.e. fake tanks).

"Солдаты провели учебные стрельбы с использованием противотанковых ружей с боевыми патронами."

Something like that.
