Anti-Junta Sniper Engages Military Foot Patrol in the Open
Published 1 years ago
Anti-Junta fighters conducting sniper operations near Thayetchaung in the Tanintharyi Region ambush a foot patrol of military troops as the cross through a large open field.
The first :54 seconds of this video is just the Anti-Junta spotter watching the patrol and telling the shooter to hold off. They wait until the patrol is fully in the open to begin engaging, which is actually an incredible display of discipline on the part of the sniper team.
No hits are visible once the shooting starts, but it would be impossible to know for sure at the range and quality of this recording. The real take away from this video is the fact that the sniper team waited for the entire patrol to expose themselves before they started shooting. This ensures that the unit will have to retreat over open ground for several seconds, which enables the shooter to take multiple shots on the patrol before they get behind cover.
Anyone who has ever had an enemy fighter in their gunsight before knows exactly how much discipline this takes.
