True, but I am sure that there is enough tech to do the job like that. I believe though that the reason that hasn’t happened is that some ROE is tying the naval operations hands. Four simultaneous shots with thermographic scopes into a life raft would pose no problem at all.

Sounds like a great screenplay. But this is real life, and things aren’t that neat and tidy.

At the moment, there is zero risk in just sitting and waiting. And no downside.

That may change, of course. But right now, the sniper idea is infinitely more risky than what they’re doing.
