The training of snipers of the Caspian Flotilla marines started at the Adanak training ground in Dagestan. This was reported by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense on Monday, December 20.
The units will practice high-speed shooting in mountainous terrain, taking into account winter conditions. On the target field, the soldiers will practice aiming, targeting and camouflaging in various areas of the terrain during the day and at night.
“Currently, under the guidance of experienced instructors, snipers are trained in the preparation and alignment of optical, mechanical and night sights with the calculation of corrections for low temperature conditions and low atmospheric pressure, the choice of positions in various terrain conditions, as well as the rules of camouflage using improvised means”, – said the head of the press service of the Southern Military District, Colonel Vadim Astafiev.
In total, about 100 snipers are taking part in the exercise.
