AI overview
A sniper is a marksman trained to shoot targets from long distances with specialized rifles and optical equipment, as exemplified by Soviet soldiers during World War II and modern military personnel today. Snipers matter because their ability to strike from concealment at range gives military forces a tactical advantage in combat situations.
