Tuesday, 20.7.2021 | CHOD's Activities
The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Nebojša Stefanović, PhD, and the Chief of the Serbian Armed Forces General Staff General Milan Mojsilović have visited members of the 72nd Special Operations Brigade, who are preparing at the Orešac training ground for participation in the "Sniper Frontier” competition, one of the prestigious International Army Games disciplines.
The snipers’ preparations at the "Orešac" training ground include exercises in the disciplines "Sloping Roof", "Ballistic Window", "Awkward Position" and "Precision Shooting", in which they will represent the Serbian Armed Forces at the "Sniper Frontier” competition from August 22 to September 4.
The Serbian Armed Forces team will compete in individual and sniper pair contests, speed contests, duels and sniper biathlon. Each segment of the competition is a test of the participants’ skill, endurance and mental strength through various complex tasks and situations. This year, the "Sniper Frontier" is specific in that only members of special units compete for medals, which has raised the competition to a higher level.
Minister Stefanović said he was glad to see how well-trained and ready members of the 72nd Special Operations Brigade were to defend Serbia’s national colours at the upcoming competition. On this occasion, he thanked the Chief of the General Staff, General Mojsilović, and the Commander of the 72nd Special Operations Brigade, Brigadier General Miroslav Talijan, for everything they had done so far and were doing to make the Serbian Armed Forces the most respectable military in the region and stronger by the day.
Members of the Serbian Armed Forces have been participating in the "Sniper Frontier" discipline at the International Army Games since 2018, and so far they have achieved notable results.
