Snipers are increasingly talking sadly about some commanders who ask them to leave all their super rifles, take assault rifles and work like regular infantry.
According to these commanders, in times of drone warfare, a sniper on the battlefield cannot survive and work.
The guys explain to such commanders: You want me to work at a distance of 50 to 300 meters with an assault rifle, in the same conditions of drones hunting me - and how do I become more resilient? In reality, not only drones will be waiting for me, but also bullets from the enemy, who will have the opportunity to shoot at me from close range.
Indeed, on the battlefield in normal units, snipers are now systematically knocking out enemy manpower at a distance of 2 km. Yes, this is a risk, because drones are trying to find and neutralize our snipers. But that is what high art is, to survive and hit the enemy by taking reasonable risks!
And the operators of our reconnaissance drones in normal units coordinate the fire of snipers, and this is of great benefit to the infantry, as well as saving our drones.
You ask the tyrant commander, who sees no place for a sniper on the battlefield, but sees him as an infantryman with an assault rifle - what is the meaning of your orders?
It turns out that sniper rifles and scopes and all the equipment are expensive, but if the sniper with the assault rifle himself dies - then this is already saving.
You explain for a long time and patiently that sniper rifles and scopes and all the equipment in this case are not state property, there is no saving here for the army. You explain that it is immoral to calculate the value of property if life is priceless for everyone, and there will be losses for the state. You explain that according to statistics, the benefit of a sniper with a long-range rifle is 50 times greater in terms of effectiveness than a sniper transferred to the infantry with an assault rifle.
Everything ends with the questions, “where do I get the infantry?”
It is difficult to achieve understanding, but mostly it is possible.
Again and again, snipers work according to their profile, taking up assault rifles only when they themselves consider it necessary. All this is achieved through efforts - mainly efforts to transfer snipers to those commanders who understand the meaning of sniper work without any explanations.
Support the best snipers!!!
