Why is it important?
The role of snipers during warfare is very important. A professional sniper, in addition to having the ability to shoot extremely accurately, should be very balanced, patient, able to concentrate, independently make the right decisions and be prepared to wait for long periods of time. These inherent virtues are possessed by only a few. In addition to these personal qualities, professional snipers learn how to use optics, good camouflage, how to move covertly, and calculate the trajectory of a bullet, depending on several factors: wind, temperature, elevation and more.
According to Wikipedia: "A sniper is a special infantry soldier, or other armed forces or law enforcement officer that affects the important objectives of the first shot in what is usually a camouflaged ambush." Thus, the goal of a sniper is to take the first shot accurately and effectively. Error in war can be very costly.
A beautifully prepared sniper poses a serious threat to the enemy, and to neutralize the enemy a sniper uses a lot of resources. The purpose of this project is to ensure individual snipers and sniper units have all necessary devices and equipment, to make them more accurate and less visible. Good equipment and optics will make our men not only more efficient, but more importantly, safer. Indeed, as experience in this war has shown, a truce on paper does not mean a real ceasefire.
Where does the money go?
As stated above, the purpose of the project is to help snipers to see better, while remaining undetectable. Funds for this project are going to provide snipers and different units with scopes, mounts for them, bipods, silencers and camouflage clothing.
Due to their quality and practicality, these things help a sniper gain a better chance of success when in a shooting situation, thereby increasing the successful execution of tasks and minimizing the risk to the sniper himself.
It is possible that during the project, the list needs to be added to with additional equipment.
