ArmInfo.All-army sniper competitions are held in Armenia. Within the framework of the Armenian-Russian defense cooperation, snipers of the 102nd Russian military base take part in competitions for the first time.
The goal of the competition, which started on November 12, is to test various kinds of sniper skills - their reaction, speed of movement, maneuverability, and ability to navigate in difficult situations. Snipers face the task of passing an obstacle course with live shooting. The servicemen are practicing shooting skills from different types of rifles and pistols, as well as throwing grenades. The event involves military personnel from various units of the Armenian Armed Forces.
From the Armenian side, more than 50 snipers take part in the competitions; from the Russian side 6 servicemen participate.
Both Armenian and Russian servicemen positively noted the holding of joint events, which, according to their convictions, allow sharing experience and establishing new contacts.
