Finland Revamps Sniper Training After Ukraine War Lessons
The Finnish Defence Forces are modernizing sniper training, incorporating lessons from the Ukraine conflict. This includes constructing a new 600-meter rifle range to address a current lack of long-range training facilities, and integrating “dynamic shooting” exercises involving moving targets. These changes aim to improve sniper effectiveness and are driven by increased demand for range use, both by the FDF and civilian users. The initiative also reflects a broader commitment to environmental sustainability in range development and operation.
