Yeah, but mostly thanks to Roshen I guess. The 2016 or 2017 were held with mostly dragunovs.

More like during the late Poroshenko regime. I was surprised to see Savage sniper rifles, to be honest.

Yes, during the late period of Poroshenko's cadence. However, the rifles were paid for by/through Roshen corp. so yeah, basically Poroshenko, but... details, details. Well, Savages were criticized a bit for a "black barell", still overall it was superb editions to the Army sniper arsenal considering it wasn't just rifle, but also full kit: quality suppressors, NF scopes, thermals etc.

Love SS Leto camo. Also wonder how the current year's video will try to beat the 2018 Sniper Challenge video.

If we're considering a functional fleet, then no, it is not likely to change in the future. At this point in time Ukraine can't afford the upkeep of a fleet large enough to counter the RF's Black Sea battle-group. Coastal defense, patrols and troops transportation is the best what UA Navy is capable of realistically now and in future. Imo, the best course of action is to concentrate on the development of effective anti-ship missiles and expansion of navy special forces.

This is what is called "Naval Exercise" in Ukraine. I have no idea what kind of mad skills one has to have to hit anything from a moving vessel while firing SPG-9.
