Pyongyang, September 13 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un , general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, visited the training base No. 38 in the Pyongyang area and oversaw the shooting contest between the sniper sub-unit under the Metropolitan Garrison Command and the sniper sub-unit of the special mobile force of the central security organ on September 12.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un learned about the supply of high-precision long-range sniper rifles, various measuring instruments and special camouflage suits to major units and sub-units and watched the shooting contest between the sub-units.

The shooting contest was held in the way of evaluating the total scores recorded by ten snipers from each sub-unit through shooting at circular targets 1 000-meter and 1 500-meter away.

He gave to the chief of the General Staff the orientations of the prospective scale of training sniper force of our armed forces and the plan for the organization of snipers in the whole army and instructed him to take relevant measures.

Referring to the impact of expanding the sphere of snipers' activities on the overall military activities of our army, Kim Jong Un repeatedly stressed the need to systematically train the special sniper force and intensify their activities.

Noting that it is important to build in a scientific way the comprehensive training bases, where snipers can personally experience the extreme combat conditions and adapt to them, in order to train all the snipers into excellent "hunters" with marksmanship of never missing targets, he said that various training methods and innovative education and training system should be established to meet the requirements of modern warfare, and set forth important tasks to this end. -0-
