      But was he wounded in the back of the head?
      In anticipation of the complete defeat of ISIS, the USA continue to merge the most vivid figures of the "allies"? Russia has a general, Iraq has a famous sniper. As the saying goes, "in the name of the common good," and a dead hero is preferable to a living one, suddenly after the war he will not show sufficient respect for US policy.

      "Peasant" in your opinion can not be a talented shooter?
      Experienced officers try to recruit guys from hunters as a sniper, they do not need to explain for a long time what ballistics, flatness, etc.

        Still how to explain. Ordinary hunters rarely shoot farther than at about 500 m. They just have a natural instinct already included like all factors such as wind, humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure, etc. put together and make corrections. This is very difficult to learn, here you need the talent and flair of the hunter, which is practiced in childhood.

        In general, in sniping accuracy is not the most important thing. It’s still necessary to get to the place, wait a moment, and then quietly rush off. Science + art under the roof of innate talent. Not everyone can boast of this. And then it does not give a 100% guarantee for immortality.

        This is both science and art. Science can be mastered, but art is from God. Someone is a brilliant plumber, and someone is a sniper. In this sense, people are not equal. The "average soldier" does not exist. Only 2 ... 5 percent of human material is suitable for combat missions in full. They give the result. The rest are extras. But without them, too, is impossible.

    And how many lives and health for their fighting comrades - Shiite militias - is the main sniper Abu Tahsin al-Salih, nicknamed the Hunter for the Igilovites (IG *), saved from the Igilovites ?! Invariably! Although no one in this case, of course, did not consider this.
    The death of the main sniper Abu Tahsin al-Salih is a very big loss for his comrades in the fight against ISIS!

        For more than a quarter century, a doctor, but it turns out to be wrong. I'll tell her everything, hold on. I guarantee an injection in the ass, and I did not procrastinate in half with clonidine.

        Ahem ... I would suggest Lidevin. True, I do not know if it is in liquid form, so that it can be pricked

Fighter. Experienced. Sorry. Life ended with dignity.
They always consider the number of goals that the shooter has on his account, but how many lives have been saved, thanks to this work, it is difficult to calculate.

Does this seem like a bit of an exaggeration? From the series "the peasant who shot Apache out of a shotgun." 10, 20,30 maybe, but 300 .......

... google about our snipers in WWII ...

What a peasant ?! After all, it is written in Russian that the military man is from 1973 and has a huge combat experience ...

Although I do not agree with the opinion of the comrade xetai9977about 10, 20, 30, and not 309, but I can explain his phrase about the peasant and "Apache". Moreover, he wrote not "peasant", but from the series "the peasant who shot Apache out of a shotgun"

The fact is that among the almost first losses of the Americans during the first war in Iraq was the loss of the Apache helicopter. He was shown on all our central channels and it was alleged that he was "shot down by a peasant from a shotgun." That is, now this phrase is an allegorical expression of the word "legend" ....

Although when I first heard about him on his account there were already about 200 destroyed Ishilov’s

If it weren’t for my dislike for propaganda .... of course, you won’t find exact numbers. But I think that dividing it into two can be achieved without problems.
