  5. Anti Material Sniper Rifle

    A lot of fun is made in this video, with some serious antimaterial sniper rifles. Instead of talking a lot about them, I invite you to have a look at the video. It's fun to watch

    facts:

    A sniper rifle is a high-precision, long-range rifle. Requirements include high accuracy, reliability, mobility, concealment, and optics, for anti-personnel, anti-materiel and surveillance uses by military snipers. The modern sniper rifle is a portable shoulder-fired rifle with either a bolt action or semi-automatic action, fitted with a telescopic sight for extreme accuracy and chambered for a high-ballistic performance centerfire cartridge.

    20th century

    During the Second Boer War, the latest breech-loading rifles with magazines and smokeless powder were used by both sides. The British were equipped with the Lee–Metford rifle, while the Boers had received the latest Mauser Model 1895 rifles from Germany. In the open terrain of South Africa, the marksman was a crucial component in battle. The Lovat Scouts was a British Army unit formed in 1899 that was renowned for the expert marksmanship and stalking skills of its personnel. The men wore ghillie suits for camouflage and were expertly skilled in observation. Hesketh Hesketh-Prichard said of them that "keener men never lived".[5] After the Boer War, the Scouts became the first official sniper unit in the British Army.

  25. Britain and the US have raised
    ⚠️fears that Russia has shared #nuclear #secrets with Iran
    in return for Tehran supplying Moscow with #ballistic #missiles to bomb Ukraine.

    During their summit in Washington DC on Friday,
    #Keir #Starmer and US president #Joe #Biden acknowledged that the two countries were tightening military cooperation
    at a time when Iran is in the process of enriching enough #uranium to complete its long-held goal to build a #nuclear #bomb.

    British sources indicated that 🆘concerns were aired about Iran’s trade for nuclear technology, part of a deepening #alliance between #Tehran and #Moscow.

    It is not clear how much #technical it knowhow Tehran has to build a nuclear weapon at this stage,
    or how quickly it could do so.

    Working with experienced Russian specialists
    or using Russian knowledge would help speed up the manufacturing process, however
    – though Iran denies that it is trying to make a nuclear bomb.
