Ministry: Azerbaijani Army crowns its best sniper in competition VIDEO

The Azerbaijani Army has recently held a competition to determine its "Best Sniper" as part of the combat training plan approved by the chief of the General Staff.

The event, designed to identify servicemen with outstanding precision and marksmanship, took place at a specialised military training ground, the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry told Caliber.Az. 

Prior to the start, all participants underwent equipment inspections before taking up their designated firing positions. 

The multi-stage competition featured six distinct challenges, testing snipers on their skills in scenarios such as “Specialty Shooting,” “Qualification Shooting,” “Sniper in Defence,” and “Sniper in Attack.” The tasks were designed to assess accuracy, tactical movement, and performance under simulated combat conditions.

Throughout the competition, participants demonstrated advanced shooting techniques and tactical awareness, reflecting the Azerbaijani Army's emphasis on combat readiness and professional development. At the end of the event, the most skilled marksmen and their teams were awarded prizes in recognition of their performance.
