But would a UAV be able to capture a region as large as that covered by the sniper? Just a rhetorical question, don't give any details if you DO know...
The bulk of your idea is sound IMO. Just my $0.02
Thanks. I'd say IF we have the capability, we should use it here. Of course, that decision needs to be made by those who have the authority to make that sort of decision...
It would be nice if this idea was employed, and it would also give plenty of training time for the troops that normally employ these assets.
