The "Altyn uki-2019" competition has been held by the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan since 2008. This event is already considered an international brand of the Kazakh army, taking into account the experience of participation of military snipers of Kazakhstan in similar sniper competitions in the United States, China, Jordan, Belarus, Russia and other countries. This year, more than 100 military personnel take part in the international competition. The competition consists of 12 stages. The atmosphere is as close to combat as possible. Participants will gradually work out the elements of the operation: from preparing the group for a combat mission to evacuation. Special forces will demonstrate movement behind enemy lines, actions when detecting, reconnaissance and disabling the enemy, combat firing as part of a group and the final withdrawal to the evacuation area. Experts from Italy, Turkey, China, the UAE and Turkmenistan were invited as observers. Each stage requires high-quality teamwork and personal training of the individual participant. Snipers will need strength and endurance to overcome water obstacles and scout trails. Individual stages include tasks on military topography and mine-blasting, military medical training.
