That was because despite todays hit movies, sniping is something you can quickly teach and use, and it is very useful in a defensive war, with huge piles of rubble that were formerly great cities.
You could shove a Nagant in a woman’s hand, put her in a building with food, and wish her luck.

But humping a sniper rifle in Afghanistan? Yeah, sure. Patience is cute, but it wont hump a .50 cal Barrett up to a position on the side of that hill.

And though Russian soldiers are often brought up, they aren’t used today. If they were so amazingly useful,,, why not?
