Russian reconnaissance troops have started tactical sniper drills in
the mountainous areas of Armenia, Sputnik reports.
Russian reconnaissance units based in Armenia have begun tactical
sniper exercises in the remote areas of this South Caucasian country,
according to the press service of the Russian Southern Military
District.
More than 100 servicemen, including those from a Russian rifle company,
are taking part in so-called "sniper duels", the press service said.
"The sniper drills are being held between two teams carrying different
insignia. One of them is acting as a simulated enemy sniper group which
is being targeted by the other counter-sniper detachment. During their
sniper duels, soldiers improve their ability to pick firing positions,
their camouflage skills and their ability to deliver aimed fire with
ballistic corrections," the press service added.
The current drills are the final stage of preparation and coordination
of sniper pairs stationed at the Russian military base in Armenia.
The exercises come two days after Russia's artillery drills in Armenia,
where operators of Grad multiple rocket launchers practiced using
their weapons systems in the field.
