Perhaps even a smallish squad to provide security for him. One might not think to look for a sniper in the middle of a knot of 'locals' who are presenting themselves as a smallish group.

Possible but the more in the know, the greater the change of someone blowing security.

Scarey thing is...he's not doing anything but following regular sniper doctrine as far as I understand it. Are we really *that* dependent on the other side being morons to catch them?

Now that we know he's out there and within a short distance of the victim, I suspect rather than the victims comrads buttoning up, they'll start advancing or do something to draw a second shot and better locate him. He will take a second shot because he did so in one of the frames and appeared to miss. I also notice that he left quite a few WIA's. Either he isn't a very good shot or, he's firing from an unstable platform such as a car trunk.

I haven't seen the video, but from what I understand the Dragunov, and presumably this Tabuk, isn't much of a sniper rifle. I believe they are only good for something like 1 MOA, so I doubt he could get away with anything further out.
