A shooting contest of snipers from Korean People's Army units at all levels took place at the Pyongyang Training Base No. 60 under the Capital City Defence Corps on March 3 to mark the Sniper's Day of the KPA.
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, oversaw the contest.
The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by Jo Yong Won, Kim Jae Ryong and Ri Il Hwan, members of the Presidium of the Political Bureau of the C.C., WPK, and other major leading cadres.
He was greeted on the spot by commanding officers of the Ministry of National Defence and military and political commanding officers of the KPA large combined units.
The contest was aimed at steadily improving the marksmanship of snipers whose role is more highly valued in modern battlefields.
It was attended by snipers selected from the special operations units of different services of the KPA and its large combined units at all levels.
In the contest, the special operations brigade of the Air Force came first, the 4th Corps second and the 1st Corps third.
It was followed by demonstration shootings by snipers of the Company of Snipers under the Operations Bureau of the General Staff. Then combatants of the special operations units gave a demonstration of their might.
Saying that the combat capability and role of snipers are more highly valued in the composition of our armed forces, Kim Jong Un noted that it is an essential requirement for implementing the Party's line of building a powerful army and modernizing it to bring about a rapid and qualitative change in enhancing the combat capability of snipers in conformity with the developing aspects and trend of modern warfare.
He said that it is very important to frequently organize drills under the simulated conditions of an actual war and shooting contests which will give rise to the spirit of emulation among the units in order to train all the snipers of the KPA units at all levels into crack shots capable of dealing a fatal blow to the enemy in any weather and seasonal conditions and day and night.
Noting that the crack-shot marksmanship should be a symbol and feature of the matchless combat capability of the Korean People's Army, he gave important guidelines for training a-match-for-a-hundred all-round snipers well-versed in the Juche-oriented marksmanship.
