Pakistan Army wins international sniping competition in Beijing
103
RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Army soldiers have won an international sniping and shooting competition in Beijing, said the Inter-Services Public Relations on Thursday.
The team representing Pakistan Army secured first position in all individual and team events.
Naik Arshad was declared the best sniper in the competition, which was attended by 21 teams representing 14 countries.
In July, a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) C-130 Hercules transport aircraft won the Concours D’ Elegance trophy at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) Show 2016 at Royal Air Force Base Fair Ford in the United Kingdom.
More than 200 aircraft from 50 countries participated in the competition, with the Pakistani contingent stealing the show and winning the trophy.
Last year, a team of Pakistan Army won the gold medal in the premier patrolling event of the British Army - Exercise Cambrian Patrol - beating around 140 teams from armies across the globe.

@Sarai Alamgir, Probably because the Olympians work their entire life doing one thing, where as the army guys spend most their lives chasing bad guys and protecting us while sleeping in the tents eating from a lungar. Have you seen what kind of life an Olympian live? Come to Texas and be blown away, their food, their living conditions, medical staff on hand, top of the line everything. Our sports men and women get nothing.
