RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Russia- 10 August 2023. Servicemen of Army Combat Reserve undergo training in special military operation rear area STORYLINE: Servicemen of the Army Combat Reserve of the Country (BARS) continue to train at the Zapad Group of Forces firing ranges in the special military operation rear area. Army Combat Reserve volunteer units undergo intensive training at firing ranges. Servicemen perform organic small weapons and hardware firing drills, hone actions in two-three men groups, and grenade launcher teams, and snipers perform fires with ASVK high-calibre rifles from positions at far distances from targets. Servicemen increase firing accuracy and speed at targets imitating enemy manpower and light-armoured hardware at different ranges using assault rifles, machineguns, man-portable anti-tank and automatic grenade launchers. Servicemen throw grenades, launch assaults at mock enemy strongholds, undergo engineer combat training with explosive materials. Drills allow to increase cohesion of units. The conditions are as close as possible to real combat scenarios. All actions brought to perfection. Servicemen of BARS units are attached to the Zapad Group of Forces units, as well as are deployed at the hottest areas of the zero line. Footage by / APAwire
