Russia's ground forces brigades, Defense Ministry spokesman Lt. Col.
Sergey Vlasov said on Friday, October 7.
The sniper units have already been set up in the ground forces and now
they are being manned. "We are establishing a phased, multi-tiered
system for selecting and training candidates, to teach them how
to work as part of a unit and independently. All snipers will have
special training once every three or four years," Vlasov said.
"Sniper units will be equipped with a number of different rifles with
