Certain USSR snipers with massive kill numbers are accused of having exagerated score cards, but there can be no dispute that records and unusual kills were credited. One unusual grouping that is unique is the fact that there were over 1,000 female snipers in service and their total score exceeded 12,000 confirmed kills. The list of Soviet snipers is impressive with the top ten credited with more then 4,200 and the top 20 with over 7.400 confirmed kills (that is an average of 370 each. Here are a few snipers in the Soviet record book: * Mihail Surkov-702 kills. * Vladimir Pchelintsev-455 kills including 14 German Snipers. * Vasily Golosov-420 kills including 70 German Snipers by 1943. * Semen Danilovoich-367 including a German General Officer. * Yevgeniy Nikolaev-324 including a General. * Ludmilla Mihaylovna-309, a female sniper. * T. Dorgiev-270 plus one aircraft. * Fyodor Chegodaev-250 plus one aircraft by 1942. * Dimitriy Sergienkov-60 kills plus three tanks and 16 prisoners.
Absolutely not! That would be CRAZY! Army Snipers give away flowers to homeless kids...
The snipers of ww2, were highly-trained soldiers of the German Army.
because there weren't enough male snipers.... Generally a sniper mission does not require hand-to-hand combat or other physical abilities. Women served in equal capacity in the Russian Army, when they needed bodies desperately to defend Moscow against Hitler they didn't count chromosomes.
The United States Air Force (USAF) doesn't have "snipers." The USAF trains their members in a Countersniper school. They aren't trained in the same tactical employment role as the Army snipers or the Marine MOS snipers.
This is open to debate but the Marines are recognized as great snipers. They have the legendary Carlos Hathcock who complete very difficult missions but on the other hand Army snipers had more kills.
There is no definitive answer to the exact number of snipers in the Vietnam War. However, it is estimated that both the United States and the North Vietnamese Army employed hundreds of snipers throughout the conflict.
The Army Snipers are trained to find shoot and kill what matters is the shooter not the weapon
there is no giant list for the Army. I asked when I went to the school in 2005.
Snipers are not members of the Primary Reserve; snipers are members of the Regular Force - the full time soldiers. Snipers serve in various combat roles which require stealth, reconnaissance, and long-range firing capabilities.
the marines are the best snipers hand down
