Multinational Sniper Competition – it’s pretty difficult to identify all of the sniper rifles in this Photo Of The Day. I think the rifle above is some kind of DMR version of the Heckler & Koch G36. Some may laugh, but I don’t think its lethality should be underestimated. The images are from NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Latvia, as they hosted an event named Exercise APEX PREDATOR, for sniper units operating across the Baltic regions and Poland. Teams representing Canada, Latvia, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom were taking part in the event which tested their ability to engage targets, identify targets, and execute sniper missions.
During this week’s multinational sniper competition Exercise APEX PREDATOR hosted by the Battle Group, participants took part in multiple live fire shoots including stalking scenarios where they utilized camouflage and concealment.For yesterday’s stalking scenario, sniper participants had to tactically recce firing positions in order to observe and report on the activities on the ground. This very challenging portion of the competition relied on snipers utilizing ground navigation, positive identification of targets and employing highly effective camouflage and concealment tactics while on the move.
