POTD: Special Forces Group of the Peruvian Air Force
Welcome to back Photo Of The Day. Each day, we showcase at least one stunning image that captures the beauty of the world of firearms. Above you see a GRUFE (Special Forces Group of the Peruvian Air Force) Special Operations Defense member dry firing at a target with an FN SCAR-H rifle (with a Schmidt & Bender riflescope) from a FAP Bell 412 helicopter during a helo-borne sniper training mission in support of Resolute Sentinel 2024 at Punta Lobos Air Base, Peru, June 5, 2024.
This kind of training helps the GRUFE members improve firing their weapon systems from a moving aircraft, build coordination with their pilots and improve overall readiness.
