Janter or Jaster. They are different than our E-types in that they are 45cm wide, versus 49.5cm wide. When range-estimating, it makes things very clean with Mils, since a 1 Mil wide Janter is at 450m (450mm/1 Mil=450m), a .5 Mil wide Janter is 950m (450mm/.5=900m), etc. I'm not sure if you'll get much with a google search. The ones in Finland are made from corrugated aluminum plates, attached to radio-controlled pop-up/fall mechanisms often. The E-types we have in the US Army are OD green plastic, with ribs in them for rigidity. The Finns paint the Jasters with camo patterns, and some of the competitions I've been do had sand thrown on them while the paint was still wet...extremely difficult to detect at 400-900m, especially in the noon-sun range of daylight...
