More pics at source.
I dated a girl that was absolutely amazing with a rifle. She could hit things I couldn’t even SEE!
This is not news, this is WW II and the Finnish all over again.
There were a lot of really good Russian female snipers too, but they seem to have faded from the narrative of today for some reason
Glad she was able to stop that car.
Are any of them looking for an American husband, by any chance.
:)
Both Layla on the left and Sarah on the right are hot babes, and all power to them.
surprised the furniture and hardware is not desert camo.
“ISIS believers think that whoever falls at the hands of a woman loses their place in paradise.”
Sounds like the Israeli army needs more women snipers to scare the crap out of these muslim terrorist fools!
Tell them they will be shot by women and watch them run.
The exploding pagers were bad enough! LOL!
It has been my experience as an instructor that when fully trained, females can be damn good shots. The Soviets certainly thought so, too. My favorite was Lyudmilla Pavlichenko. A Ukranian born Russian who had 309 confirmed kills.

They have kind eyes
The kind I like
Tania Chernova
Roza Shanina
She shot a guy with one of those but he opened the door and got out?
don’t ever want to mess with the IDF
and especially not with their females!
as Kipling observed,
the female of the species is (far) more deadly than the male

I am aware of Miss Shanina. Unfortunately she died before she could rack up as impressive a total.

It’s not always like in the movies. Unless hit with a head shot (and sometimes even then depending on the caliber), someone shot even in the heart (center of mass) can still move for a little while. Now a large enough caliber can result in a different result. For example a .50 cal basically obliterates any soft target. But that’s not always the case.
Unfortunately I’m guessing our female snipers identify as such.
Wow, I love Kipyard’s poetry but never read that one before. Thanks!
Oops, I mean Kipling, not enough coffee yet.
Women have better small muscle control and, in general, are better distant shooters than men, assuming they can get over the recoil. They are also generally smaller and can sneak into little spots.
Not sure why the author couldn’t find other examples of great female snipers. There are plenty.
Dr Ruth (the sex lady) was an Israeli sniper for example. I believe she got hurt by a bomb,
Some of my most fond memories of Israel (MFO 85/86) was strolling the beach at Eilat watching the IDF girls in their wicked weasel bikinis with M16 slung over their shoulder.
CS Lewis said God made men bigger and stronger so women would not abuse them, which is their nature.
These talented women understand clearly what so many Israelis do not: In a war with terrorists you must kill them; and to win a war with terrorists you must kill them until they’re all dead ... all of them. History shows clearly that this is the only “negotiation” terrorists understand.
