English term or phrase: large-scale target practice

I am translating an journalistic article and find difficulties in translating "large-scale target practice" in the following context:

But as soon as Castro, who has ethnic ties to both the indigenous Chamorro people and Caroline islanders, learned of the plans to use Pågan for large-scale target practice, he cut his ties with the US defence department.

"Simulacro de bombardeo a gran escala" es mi mejor intento hasta el momento.
