The reality of special forces
In recent years, special forces-themed film and television dramas on the market have been very popular. This phenomenon can be attributed to the mystery and excellent combat ability of special forces, which make them much loved. Special forces are divided into various types according to the nature of the mission, such as airborne troops, demolition troops and snipers. Among them, snipers are particularly well-known and mysterious because of their extensive use in games and culture.
Snipers are usually located in key locations behind the battlefield and secretly target key targets remotely. Due to the peculiarities of the task, they need to use a professional sniper rifle. In the early wars, our army was relatively poorly equipped, so the snipers used "naked" rifles, and aiming technology was the only factor that won. However, with the improvement of the country's scientific and technological level, our army has developed advanced sniper rifles, equipped with high-precision sniper scopes to improve sniping accuracy.
Sniper rifles are crucial for snipers, and more often than not, they don't throw them away easily. But in some cases, when snipers feel that they have been discovered by the enemy and need to flee, they will not hesitate to discard the sniper rifle, remove the sniper scope and retreat.
Why do snipers choose to keep their sniper scopes when retreating? One might think that sniper scopes are expensive and therefore worth preservation. Indeed, the high price of sniper scopes is one of the reasons. In order to adapt to different combat conditions, sniper scopes need to have clear lenses, wear and tear resistance, and a high degree of accuracy. Therefore, qualified sniper scopes are often expensive and produced in limited quantities. In addition, compared to bulky sniper rifles, sniper scopes are small and portable, and in some cases, can also be used as telescopes, which has a wider range of applications.
Another reason is to protect one's own life. Sniper scopes not only function in the hands of snipers, but if taken by enemies, they are also a great threat to tracking the location of snipers. Snipers will be at greater risk when facing an enemy who has lost their sniper scope, and the enemy can determine his position based on the range of the sniper scope, so as to take targeted defensive measures and make the next sniper mission more difficult.
In conclusion, although snipers can choose to throw away their sniper rifles when they are in danger, this is very rare. Sniper rifles are like a second life to snipers, and they will do their best to protect their lives and equipment unless forced to.
