Snipers work in pairs.
The Russian Ministry of Defense spoke about the work of snipers of the Airborne Forces in the Kursk border region. According to the department, a pair of snipers are working on the targets.
“After taking into account and comparing all the factors that influence the sniper’s shot, such as wind direction, distance to the target and others, the second number indicates the target designation and the first opens fire to kill,” he said the department. – The first shot, from a distance of more than 1,000 meters, destroys the enemy. The sniper pair then quickly changes their shooting position and continues shooting.
The Russian Defense Ministry added that sniper pairs pay special attention to camouflage their positions. Military personnel use thermographic layers and closed-type muzzle brakes-compensators, which disperse the sound of a shot and extinguish the flash.
