On February 24th 2022, Russia attempted (and failed) to blitzkrieg the sovereign nation of Ukraine. Almost two years later as of this writing, the resultant war is still ongoing. Slavshit is where content pertaining to that goes.
This category is primarily for videos and pictures of combat and casualties, but discussion amongst those impacted it is also encouraged. This, along with /h/sandshit, for the current incarnation of the conflict between Israel and Hamas, seeks to chronicle the real, raw, unfiltered impact of modern conflicts which are a far cry from the fairly straightforward wars of yesteryear. WatchPeopleDie.tv will serve as an ongoing, citizen-led catalog of what is really happening on the ground and how it impacts those who live there, be they Ukrainian or Russian. Our independent and unsponsored status allows us to serve the sort of content that mainstream media networks, online and televisted, could never get away with broadcasting and wouldn't even if they could as they aim more than anything to push a sanitized, partisan agenda of their own. We are beholden to none, and any legal media is welcome here so long as it is related to the events unfolding. Vitriolic discussion is inevitable as well; the cost of war cannot be counted in bodies alone, and the sectarian, interpersonal conflicts that flare up between countrymen and neighbors is often minimized and overlooked. Let the discourse here immortalize that for all to see.
RULES
Upvotes and downvotes both increase the ranking of posts equally in this category. Downvoting is still discouraged unless something is genuinely low quality, though with emotions running high amongst third worlders, downvotes when one's pet side looks bad or loses in a video seem to be the norm. And so downvotes cannot serve to censor inconvenient reality here.
Calls for genocide are of questionable legality, and WatchPeopleDie.tv does not aim to end up in a landmark court case seeing where the line is exactly. Don't call for the eradication of people, whether they're Ukrainians, Russians, whatever.
This is true site-wide, but bears repeating here: WatchPeopleDie.tv is not Reddit. People are going to be mean to you. They're going to call you names. They're going to insult your beliefs. This is allowed. Stop reporting people for disagreeing with you or hurting your feelings or whatever. This clutters up the report queue which we use to get rid of spam, reposts and actually illegal content.

Because of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and the secrecy of Spec-Ops snipers, I couldn’t find much info on this besides that it takes place in the new war. (I could be wrong)

Who knows whether or not it is true, but I have read that the Russians hadn't really been supplied with any thermal or infrared optics so they basically avoid fighting at night at all ... whereas the Ukrainians clearly have enough of such equipment to launch full blown assaults on Russian positions at night.
Would seem odd seeing as the Russians have had said equipment in one form or another for just about as long as any other nation ... even if it were a generation or two outdated.

While it may be too expensive to equip individual soldiers with thermals they are on many modern vehicles, planes, helicopters and drones. And it only takes one to get an overview and detect incoming adversaries. So I'm not sure how this could be true. But Russians have shocked the world with so much stupidity that nothing is impossible at this point.

The best fight is the one you can avoid. Having a long distance rifle with the right toys to make it effective at long ranges and practicing with it is a good strategy if you want to stay alive if shit ever were to hit the fan. You can take out threats before they even realize they are a threat**
**this applies to war tactics, not self-defense.

If you can afford them, those toys are not cheap for some very fucked up reasons. But yes. Even if you can’t afford them you should practice long distance shooting. It’s a different game altogether.

There's a fantastic public range (DNR-run I believe) about an hour south of me that has pretty long rifle ranges ... with golf carts to check and set targets. I think they even do long range classes sometimes.
I have some rifles that would be capable, but they're all ye-olde rifles that I haven't even zeroed. One doesn't even have a scope mounted yet. All old sporter M1917s, at least that even have scope mounts.
I should really build a 6.5 Creedmoor AR or something eventually.

Get a MK-12 SPR

Are those produced for the civilian market at all? I'm actually somewhat confused as to why elements of the military adopted it to begin with. It sounds like it is just a regular modern AR with a nice barrel? They added free float handguards for accuracy, but the civilian market has already been using those for many years anyway. I imagine my existing ARs are not much different in terms of performance, even off the shelf with the OEM parts.

Why an AR? Semis are never as accurate as bolt action. If you want to use it long range you need all the accuracy you can get. Question is: can you afford the thermal to go with it?

With a semi you can perform quick follow-up shots. Plus, one of the best sniper rifles in the world, the M82A1, is a semi.

A good AR built with the right parts is a sub minute gun, and a lot cheaper than a bolt gun of similar ability (besides maybe something like a Ruger Precision). 20-30 years ago, that might have still been true of bolt guns. Not anymore.
Bolt guns are more fun though, of course.
