Snipers in Afghanistan

4
A sniper is a warrior specially selected, trained and prepared for independent initiative actions, a well-aimed shooter who knows how to skillfully act in a combat situation. The task of the sniper - the destruction of important and dangerous targets, appearing for a short time, is solved by patience for choosing the right moment to surely hit them. The art of a sniper is to independently find the target, assess its importance and hit with one shot.
