According to the report, the initial stage of the Sniper

International army Games-2022, went off without a hitch.
“All safety rules were strictly followed during the shooting.
Azerbaijani snipers skillfully fulfilled an exercise on shooting at
three targets, located at a distance of 300-600 meters, in a
definite time,” the Ministry stressed.
The Sniper Frontier competition is being attended by teams from
Azerbaijan, Belarus, China, Iran, Uzbekistan, Russia, and
Zimbabwe.
Meanwhile, the next stage of the Masters of Artillery Fire
contest held as part of the International Army Games - 2022 took
place in Kazakhstan's Guards garrison, the ministry said in a
separate report.
The Azerbaijani team's second crew fared well at the individual
level. After overcoming an obstacle course and a minefield,
Azerbaijani artillerymen used machine guns, mortars, grenade
launchers, and assault rifles to destroy the specified targets with
pinpoint accuracy.
Azerbaijani servicemen, who displayed professionalism, ranked
third out of nine teams. Artillerymen from Kazakhstan and Russia
finished first and second respectively.
The Azerbaijani armed forces have taken part in the

army has participated in the Tank Biathlon, Sniper Frontier,
Military medical relay race, Field Kitchen, Masters of Artillery
Fire, and Sea Cup competitions.
