This is why civilians should have grenades.
Thank you,

Think of all the belts and hat bands you'd waste.
But, yeah, and flamethrowers.
Here's the scenario:
You are the best sniper in the Division. You are assigned a high priority target. He's a really nasty Cartel leader that's wanted dead or alive; preferably dead.
G2 tells you the time and location of his meeting with the top leaders of his organization. An air strike with a drone is out of the question because the WH wants a positive ID on the target. He's also been known to have hostages with him at all times.
That discourages the air strikes as he knows the good guys won't want to get blamed for collateral casualties.
You are free to choose any method and equipment to take out the target. So you elect to go solo. The security patrol drops you off 3KM from your FP at night.
Because he's a high value target he's also got thermal equipped drones looking for snipers that want to perforate him. So you choose the most up-to-date multispectral camouflage. You've done your research on this cutting edge camo starting with this thread!
With all the festivities taking place in Ukraine, more attention has been placed on thermal imaging. Even though the technology has been around for many years, more interest has been generated in defeating or mitigating these optics. So here are some links on the subject...

The infiltration to the FP will be slow, taking about 72 hours. You're planning on a total of 12 hours to sleep during your stalk. That means an average speed of 50 meters per hour for 60 hours of movement. You want to take your time to avoid detection.
You have finally made it and are about 30 meters from an excellent FP that provides cover and concealment. You are on schedule but can't waste anymore time as fatigue is setting in. You have just enough water left for your exfiltration and you won't be taking much time to rest as the target's goons will be looking for you after the shot.
You've been on tough missions before but this one is important. You have to make it to that last 30 meters because you won't be able to see the target from your current position due to the slight rising terrain in front of you.
You are about to crawl though the ditch in front of you when you hear and see this about a foot from your face. What do you do? There are no right or wrong answers but be prepared to justify your response.
Should you be captured the agency will disavow any knowledge of your existence. This post will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck Jim.
