Never run away from a sniper ...

78
They say running from a sniper is useless. There is no point, you just die tired. Funny, but very vital.





In this material we will try to touch upon several points of training work among the personnel of certain units at once.

It’s training, because these guys themselves will teach anyone military wisdom, and more than once taught neighbors both near and far as instructors.

We attended one of these classes, the essence of which was very simple: to leave the detachment at a given point, conduct reconnaissance, find a conditional enemy, neutralize / neutralize a group of soldiers.


This is a piece of the training ground on which this ominous action took place ...








By the way, the catcher and the beast runs. In the material about the lack of communication in the modern army, I said that as soon as I see something of our / modern - I will say. Here, I really saw these same "Crossbows." Enjoy.

In principle, everything seems very simple. We went to the position, looked around, clarified the task. The snipers went on their assignment, the rest of the group on their own. We went a couple of kilometers to warm up, grumbled at the training ground, shot at idle ... In general, we have already seen such trainings, and not one.





The thing, of course, is in the nuances.







And the nuances are that in fact two or three hours of fermentation for the sake of two short moments: the first - a group of “mines” will notice, or beating underfoot (unpleasant, I’ll say right away, but not fatally), and who will “burn” someone faster.

That's the whole point. The movements of the group look rather strange and not entirely clear to non-specialists. Zigzags, loops ... I misunderstood twice where they would rush, respectively, I was punished by a race in the middle distance.







The “minefield” on the edge of the “village” was not noticed. By the way, we, too, were not in the best place. "Mines" were activated remotely, by wire, but in such grass it was simply unrealistic to see them, and nobody seemed to tell us.



In general, we still photographed the first explosion of enemy mines, and the second was clearly conditionally destroyed by our group of shooters. I mean, it was covered with earth, grass and branches. We were on a slope below, so everything flew to us.

But the fighters of the group, who had guessed to send a scout, escaped much easier than us: one fragment, conditionally wounded in the leg. While the group made fire contact with a conditional enemy, someone put a smoke curtain (the smoke is very unpleasant on the palate), the fighter was dragged to assist him.









And then all the fun began, but we, as it were, to put it mildly, missed it. Because while the assault group was shooting with a conditional enemy, the snipers went around the whole thing, spotted all the enemies and they, the enemies, somehow very quickly ended.























A little war like that, but with meaning. On the video, everything turned out well from our point of view.



Further there were already serious practical exercises. In the sense of shooting combat. True, there was a certain free element, especially for us. Watermelon in the form of a target for ICS. One was put at a normal distance (in vain, our optics didn’t reach him), the second was killed closer. And for SVD there were several heads of cabbage. Very indicative, by the way.

















Well, then, almost like in a movie:









If at a glance: SVK - a single-shot rifle. Rumble, the earth flies in all directions, grass ... It seems that after this shot they will thresh at this place from everything that reaches. Then you understand that if you shoot from 1 — 1,5 km, it’s not so scary.



SVD after SVK looks completely frivolous.



The result, really ... Well, well, it’s not in vain that she’s still armed, isn’t it?



They know what is, that is.

In general, in the end, it’s worth saying a few words about the real use of two such different systems together. And it looks good. SVD allows you to give everything in the head over the middle distance, and SVK - at the far. Plus, not every transport can withstand such a cucumber.

Strong guys. So much to pass / crawl for one or two shots ... Strong not only in terms of physical training, but also in terms of nerves. Running after them along the hills and copses, you understand that running with them is one thing, but running from them is completely different. And really, it makes no sense. They will get it anyway, just yes, you will die tired.

In general, they are very spiritual and calm, even impenetrable, I would say. Perhaps because they themselves will break through anything, perhaps they are specially selected this way. But what are these snipers.

          1942 year. Somewhere on the Eastern Front, a German sniper secretly took up a position near the trenches of Soviet soldiers. I adjusted the sight, screwed on the silencer and shouted: "Hey Iva-an!" Ivan's head appears over the breastwork: "What do you want, Fritz ?!" Shot - and there is no more Ivan. After a while, having sipped coffee with sandwiches, again: "Petro-o!" Peter sticks out: "Why are you fucking Hans !!" Clap - and Peter died. And in the neighboring trench a Kazakh sits, crying and wailing: "Only not Jumbai! Only not Jumbai! Only not Jumbai!"

        Now, I think, they are teaching. You can also hang a thermal imager on this flying shaitan machine, and he will see the sniper at the click of a finger. Especially in winter. Of course, you can bury in the snow, hide under the ground or under the grass, but my breath, face, trunk, it seems to me will be given out by a sniper in the thermal imager. Therefore, if possible, this demonic technique must be put in the first place.

        Yes, the article does not fit into what he saw in 2001. In order for the sniper to be effective and not to end with that as a very valuable shot as valuable as a spotter. It is not reasonable to send it alone without overlapping groups. If God forbid they kill him, then Khan to everyone.

          I’m not special either, but I heard somewhere that the body kit allows you to mount some devices, and the devices are very expensive (collimator, magnifier, LITs, flashlight, NVD, teplak), also when using these devices the efficiency of a trained fighter does not grow much ( about 5%) ... we get an increase in combat effectiveness of 5%, and the cost of weapons + devices by about 250% ....

            The kit is not made for a trained fighter. He successfully fights without a collimator. The body kit is for the rookie to have chances against a trained fighter. Flashlight and collimator are not expensive, I don’t have the rest. I would also replace the butt with an adjustable one, but too lazy to mess around. A thermal imager (decent) is a really expensive thing (if you take it yourself), but also really useful, and even for a trained fighter.

                I don’t know for the military, the Kalash analogue at retail costs over 30 thousand, the cheapest collimators cost less than 2000, decent ones - about 5000. If Kalash is twice as cheaper for the military, can the collimator also scale for the price?

          GP is a grenade launcher? As for me, the forearm needs to be done a little wider. And with a textured surface. The lining on the butt is good, but sometimes you need to raise the line of sight. Minimizing the cost for the MO is good, but the ergonomics of the milking soldier is also not bad. Moreover, there are not many such non-standard fighters. Do not go broke MO.

              Why raise the line of sight relative to the butt of the butt? Big people will understand. Some of them almost press their ear against the shoulder. I mean that the lining just extends the butt and sometimes you also need to lower it a bit down. A textured surface can be different. Although it may now glides less. I was dealing with wood and old-style plastic. Sometimes it slipped. But picatini instead of forearm is definitely not. Will rub precisely.

              Let me tell you a secret. An ordinary sniper acting as part of a unit (squad, platoon, company) AND NOT INCLUDING any "SPECIAL". Well, there are also a lot of these tasks and they can vary depending on the circumstances. Including "support of the subunit with accurate fire in the offensive and defense." And I personally believe from experience that our combined-arms wax sniper armed with SVD variants is much more versatile and flexible in performing various tasks. And yet, out of the ready template of those who do not know that the very concept of a light semi-automatic rifle of the SVD type has become outdated and "got sick" over time. And a cooler rifle with more powerful optics of caliber and accuracy is nonsense ... Everything has its own task and purpose. And I wish all members of our site never to "run away from a sniper" for nothing.

        Do not confuse warm and soft. What does it mean there will always be a jump? For example, from a hand or a bag of sand or a backpack or anything else, there will be no soft jump. And the hit point has not shifted to the top. And what you keep the rifle from the end opposite the muzzle end just does not affect the jump at all. It affects the accuracy but not the jump.

      ,,, in the penultimate photograph, the belt is worn on the front of the front sight. Can someone tell me whether this can be done or not? what We were forbidden to do this in the army, only for the butt plate.

      They forbid the conscript, the contractor or officer decide for themselves - as is more convenient

    I like Roman when he doesn’t stir up water about politics. He writes well. And with Staver, they are generally handsome.

        Well, in the 80s I only occasionally used the 162nd and 163rd typewriters, that over 30 years they were modernized / stuck to them there - I don’t know. In my time, it seems that only Historians clung to them.

    "In the article about the shortcomings of communication in the modern army, I said that as soon as I see something of ours / modern - I will say. So, I actually saw these very" Crossbows ". They use it."
    In the mid-80s, we also had Crossbows - fastened with a clothespin to the collar. But you could hook it anywhere, just to get the earpiece to your ear. Headphone on the left ear. The microphone on the suction cup was - as you sweat, you need to sculpt on a new one. Range, from memory, up to 6 km. What are current Crossbows?

    1942 year. Somewhere on the Eastern Front, a German sniper secretly took up a position near the trenches of Soviet soldiers. I adjusted the sight, screwed on the silencer and shouted: "Hey Iva-an!" Ivan's head appears over the breastwork: "What do you want, Fritz ?!" Shot - and there is no more Ivan. After a while, having sipped coffee with sandwiches, again: "Petro-o!" Peter sticks out: "Why are you fucking Hans !!" Clap - and Peter died. And in the neighboring trench a Kazakh sits, crying and wailing: "Only not Jumbai! Only not Jumbai! Only not Jumbai!"


    Black humor.

      Then I will whitewash. The sniper - Soviet, --- German, and instead of the Kazakh - Pole Wojciech (there were many who fought for the Germans). So funnier?

    I didn’t wash it off, but actually I don’t get to understand that it’s necessary to run away. Especially if the first bullet is yours. At distances after two hundred meters, if you don’t look in the direction of the shot, you won’t even see the flash.

    AK-74 without a modern body kit.

    without which body kit?
    Why kit?
    give examples of a useful body kit, which reveals which body kit, its functionality, how much the fighter's efficiency will rise when using these devices.
    Thank you.

    Well, what are you up to right?
    A good body kit adds + 2 cm of attractiveness in the eyes of women, excellent - up to 5 cm.

    Interestingly, when I served, we were forbidden to hold the store when shooting.
