Description: Pictured is a sniper from 34 Squadron, The Royal Air Force Regiment during a Live Firing Tactical Training at the Otterburn Training Area. The kill flash or honeycomb filter on the objective of the telescopic sight is mounted to eliminate light reflections from the objective that could compromise a sniper. This training formed part of the Contingency Operating Training for the Joint Expeditionary Force. With a strength of 164 personnel, including specialist engineering and support staff, the Squadron’s firepower is provided by a wide range of infantry weapons including sniper rifles, general purpose machine guns and light and medium mortars. Fully air portable, the Squadron’s cross-country mobility is provided by a variety of off road platforms battlefield communications systems and a highly effective range of surveillance and night observation equipment which help complete 34 Squadron’s inventory to make it a flexible and powerful force capable of deploying anywhere in the world to defend British air assets or to take part in wider military action.
