In the Volgograd region, military personnel of the reconnaissance unit of the motorized rifle unit of the Southern Military District (SMD) continue to prepare for the second stage of the Tactical Shooter competition of the 2022 Army International Games.

The scouts perform a set of individual preparatory exercises each day, as well as single and twin fire courses. During the training, military personnel shoot at targets from uncomfortable positions with a change of small arms, while choosing the most priority targets.

To complicate the tactical situation, targets of various types and structures installed within the boundaries of a specially prepared site are used.

A special feature of the competition is the performance of a single-firing exercise with a sequential change of position for firing in a cycle: lying down, kneeling, standing.

Shooting is conducted until the ammunition is completely consumed. The total time is calculated from the starting signal and the Fire command to the last shot. At the same time, the servicemen shoot from Kalashnikov AK-74M and Makarov pistols (PM), equipped with auxiliary fasteners to improve individual ergonomics and weapon control.
