A NATO sniper's mindset

What does it take to lie in a hide site for days, covered in shrubbery, waiting to take the perfect shot?
Enter the mind of a sniper. Far from being just sharpshooters, snipers are also reconnaissance experts, trained observers who can blend in with their environment and gather data on targets. Should they need to, they can use their precision rifles to take long-range shots. This kind of missions require superhuman patience, concentration and a keen eye for detail.
