POTD: Greek Snipers at 2021 Best Sniper Team Competition

The European Best Sniper Team Competition is over but continues to deliver amazing photos for TFB’s Photo Of The Day. The videos I’ve seen from this competition show some really difficult and demanding stages, to differentiate the teams from each other. Here we can see Greek snipers searching and engaging targets during the European Best Sniper Team Competition at Hohenfels, Germany, (Aug. 11, 2021).

The 2021 European Best Sniper Team Competition is a U.S. Army Europe and Africa-directed, 7th Army Training Command hosted contest of skill that includes 14 participating NATO allies and partner nations at 7th ATC’s Hohenfels Training Area

The European Best Sniper Team Competition is designed to improve professionalism and enhance esprit de corps.

Did you ever try shooting from a tripod like this? It is far from being as easy as it looks, even with the help of a spotter.

    When the spotter shouts "STRIKE!", the Greek sniper's don't shoot anymore. They go on strike. (sorry I had to)

      @EB Your comment is quite unfortunate, even if it is just for fun. It would be wise, before insulting a nation like this, or its armed forces, if you had studied the average working hours in EU, where Greeks stand among those who work approx. 12 hours per day. Personally i work at least 14 hours per day. Do you work 12 or 14 hours per day?
      I understand your humourous attitude, and i welcome it, personally though. You may also like to remember that Greece and its armed forces, secure the borderline of Europe, and they stand true and commited to their role as a NATO member, despite the ensuing economic crisis, which is a past, because our sacrifices and hard work and commitment to economic discipline made this crisis a past. If only other participants, coming from the eastern parts of the world, could also claim the same, for example the exact nature of their cooperation with Russia. I think you understand my point.
      Again i respect a good joke. However Greece and its people have been tortured for too long. The timing was bad. By the way, I can speak Greek, English, German and Arabic. Do you?
