It’s the training are at BATUS (British Army Training Unit Suffield) in Alberta, Canada. The circles you see are where the Canadians placed vehicles and buildings, before they detonated a rather large bomb to see the effects.The area is now used for large scale armoured exercises by our troops. Amazing training area! :wink:
