According to a relevant announcement, the aim of Sniper Workshop “NEPTUNE – 23” is the exchange of know-how, as well as the updating of tactics, techniques, and the use of new equipment by the snipers of the participating countries, which all constitute an opportunity to demonstrate the high level of training and professionalism of the country’s Special Operation Forces.
The distinctions of the Greek snipers in Sniper Workshop “NEPTUNE – 23” are a continuation of their high-standard performances in the international military sniper competition “European Best Sniper Team Competition 2022”, during which they ranked 1st and 4th among 36 teams from 18 countries.
