The War on Terror has led to major changes in the way snipers operate, both on the battlefield and in counterterrorism measures. Featuring accounts of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, a Special Forces expert explores the selection, training and equipment of these long-range specialists, and their supplementary role of providing surveillance.
The years since 9/11 have seen major changes in the way snipers are employed on the modern battlefield, alongside an incredibly rapid evolution in their weapons, equipment and training. This book covers the 14 years of near-constant warfare since the dawn of the 21st century, documenting where, when and how snipers have been deployed; their rifles, optics and their ancillary equipment such as laser range finders; their training and tactics and accounts of real-life operations involving sniper teams.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have reaffirmed the importance of snipers in both conventional and unconventional warfare, and this new study covers these developments in depth, as well as looking at the role of the sniper in police and counterterrorism environments.
