looks like a very special indian telescope that can look straight through a whole bunch of leaves blocking the telescope

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

OP has no idea what a sniper is.

try being the target of that sniper to find out, by the way the rifle is russian SVD Dragunov and so is its scope

 

[Astra-2013]

yup

This is reverse engineered Denel NTW20 , with some better features.
like its weight is less than that of NTW20 , support 3 calibers , more muzzle energy, and with all these features it costs half of the NTW20.

To an average civilian, this is how it would appear.

to someone with an eye for the ground it would be evident that the shooter has kept the bushes to his left shoulder and is seeing a target between 0 to 45 degrees.

I've fired riffles with telescopes for over 10 years , even having a few hair blocking the scope is bad , this guy has a whole bunch of leaves straight in front of his scope, the twigs are jetting out in front of his scope.

An elephant can pass in front of him and you can bet you Indian bottom that he wont see a thing

pure PR picture stunt , a very lame one at that

Looks more like Designated Marksmans rather than snipers.Indian snipers generally use the Vidhwansak,Galil and Mauser SP 66 sniper rifles.But these guys are using mostly Dragunov SVDs and scoped SLRs.So definitely not snipers.What do you think @COLDHEARTED AVIATOR ??

Scoped SLR pics is 20 years old mate.Some pics are of Sniper but others are definitely not..infact the OP has posted a pic of a AGL..how can a grenade launcher be a sniper rifle.

some pics of guys in ghille suit are sniper.

@COLDHEARTED AVIATOR do Indian army have a dedicated sniper school?? i know there are sniper training in many army schools but have any dedicated one??

 

[Lipizzaner_Stallion]

I had read somewhere that Vidhwanshak is only used by BSF and not by army ... but above pic proves otherwise ???
