Latest #Pakistan Taliban video abt their snipers is quite interesting. Fighters are seen travserving the rugged mountains of the border regions, before using SVD rifles to snipe Pakistani troops.
Quite well edited/filmed. Note variety of camo/lack of here, and captured G3A3.

Fighters are seen using their Chinese/Russian SVDs (Strictly a DMR, but likely the best option available) to hit Pakistani troops at small outposts and bases. They seem to successfully avoid being silhouetted. Level of concealmeant varies from this....

..to this. Militants seem to take advantage of the terrain to ambush Pakistani authorities' vehicles (Pic 3) and to get close enough to kill soldiers/border corps etc unwise enough to reveal themselves. Pic 4 shows a shot man tumbling. The terrain is really interesting

Although I do not study the Pakistani Taliban closely, they appear to utilise long range fire often and with a measure of success. Regardless, only SVD and PSO-1 pattern optic are used, with no appearance of thermals or NATO platforms unlike #Afghanistan.

The militants are essentially equiped how you'd expect, with a variety of camo, kit, etc. (Minor note: It seems one spotter carries an AK with a common Chinese fakOG)
