POTD: Finnish Guard Jaeger Regiment With Rk95 And Rk62M2
If you think it’s cold outside, just think about Winter Warfare and the Guard Jaeger Regiment in action in this Photo Of The Day. They’re shooting their Rk95s and Rk62M2s, and they seem to be quite accurate by the looks of the paper targets.
How often do you shoot from this position?
The Finnish Guard Jaeger Regiment wrote (machine-translated from Finnish):
“Conscripts who are about to be discharged next week have been honing their skills in discharge shooting exercises this past week. The new squad leaders, in turn, prepared for the arrival of new recruits by reviewing their skills in a non-commissioned officer course shooting exercise.”
The Guards Jaeger Regiment trains troops that specialize in combat in built-up areas, to defend Helsinki and the surrounding areas mainly.
The Finnish camouflage always impresses me with its effectiveness.
It will be interesting to see when the Finnish Army switches to the new Sako M23.
