Counter-battery fire

Counter-battery fire refers to military operations aimed at neutralizing enemy artillery that is firing on friendly forces. When an opposing battery opens fire, the target army quickly identifies the source of the attack using radar, observers, or sound. They then respond with their own artillery to destroy or silence the enemy's guns before they can cause further damage. This tactic is crucial for maintaining battlefield safety and effectiveness, as it helps protect troops and positions from ongoing artillery fire, enabling a more secure operational environment.
