This is the moment snipers practice field reconnaissance in extreme cold weather in the Russian far east.
The footage was shared online by the Russian Ministry of Defence, who said: "Snipers of the Eastern Military District are learning to conduct field reconnaissance in extreme Far Eastern frosts at the Bikinsky training ground in the Khabarovsk Territory.
"Reconnaissance groups carry out camouflage on snowy terrain, equip resting places and so-called "beds" that merge with the snowy landscape.
"The task is not to allow themselves to be detected even from a five-meter distance. According to the training conditions, snipers need to eliminate the enemy sabotage group and transmit the coordinates of the location of lightly armored vehicles. In addition, servicemen are learning to defeat lightly armored enemy vehicles.
"For this task, shooters use large-caliber ASVK rifles of 12.7 mm caliber. In the course of special tactical training, snipers also hone their skills in finding targets and identifying the main threats."
