[QUOTE="D-mon, post: 1944659, member: 1523"] Reading a few of the posts ,I was wondering if when a few Russian sniper teams are deployed to harass an objective at different distances on more or less the same pathway( say 1 team at 600 yards , one at 1200 and the third one at 2000) , the two first teams could read the wind at their respective positions and communicate the values to the third team at 2000. Although with modern detecting devices , like thermal imaging, it would be pretty hard for the two first teams to hide very well unless buried underground. The objective would have to be of a limited number of personal and protection I guess , unless they had a big army begin to support the sniper teams. Just a scenario imagination, I am no expert on the subject. On another point, one advantage that Russia has over the USA , is that they are out of debt, as USA is one of the most indebted country in the world . The French king Louis14th once asked his war minister what was required to win a war . The answer was: money, money and a lot of money. And if you run out of money, you are not going to make any war. And although USA has the firepower to erase pretty much any small to medium size country from the map with conventional weapons, it has not had many decisive victory on the ground and held that ground since the Second World War , and I believe never had to confront face to face another nuclear power. And for a good reason, its major cities are coastal and could easily be hit by a few nuclear subs , which would wipe out a good portion of the population and make living their impossible . That cost would be unbearable. [/QUOTE]
