Modern Sniper

Image 1 / 10

The definition of a ‘sniper' is: a skilled military shooter detailed to spot and pick off enemy soldiers from a concealed place. Today snipers face challenges and missions that their predecessors could have only dreamed of since their tools, tactics, and techniques have evolved with advances in weaponry and technology. Discovery World's new series, ‘Modern Sniper', looks at the advanced training techniques that transform these ordinary men into smart, inventive soldiers; and delves into what it takes to be one of the top snipers in the Armed Forces. Each episode of this informative series highlights a different branch of the military and focuses on land navigation/camouflage; stalking techniques; weapons/marksmanship and most importantly, surveillance.
