French military sniper in a Ghillie camouflage suit, carrying his PGM Hécate rifle
Description A French military sniper in a Ghillie camouflage suit, carrying his PGM Hécate rifle, cut out from a larger image with the following description: ------ A British sniper from 5 SCOTS (centre) and French snipers of the 8th Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment train together at Exercise Boar's Head, Otterburn Training Area, Northumberland. Exercise Boars Head was a company level live firing exercise which took place at Otterburn Training Area involving a British Army infantry company from 5 SCOTS, a unit of 16 Air Assault Brigade; and a company from 8th Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment a unit of the French 11th Parachute Brigade. The exercise was part of the continuing relationship between French and British Army units following the signing of the Defence and Security Co-operation Treaty by Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy in November 2010. The fancy scope of the left-most sniper is a "Sagem Sword Sniper" 3-in-1 sight.
