GLARINGLY absent.
....this being "Intermediate Weather data Transmitters / Sensors",....available in an almost DAZZLING array of sizes, shapes, forms. Some simple line of sight, some Satellite uplinked, some on a "Net" that can involve MANY different recipients of WIND, TEMP, Barometric Pressures, and probably a whole lot more, up to and including a geophone function.....They can be airdropped, fired into place out of mortars, or, as in the case here,...EMPLACED by the troops going forward under his gun. They can be fabulously pricey,....or in real battlefield dominance terms, considered disposable,.....self destructing when mission's accomplished, via a freq. burst,....in other words, VERY similar to the self destruct capability of lotsa' UAV / Drone electronics.
The man on the rifles not doing a whole lot of calculating,......the "solutions mean correction" factors, CONSTANTLY updating via mega-bit miracles do however appear on his handheld device.
Nothing particularly NEW about this, either,....the devices I'm presenting here for consideration were available to American Military shooters during Gulf War 1,....and have no bloody doubt, vastly improved, since.
Not dismissing, "Luck",.....just trying to suggest that some of the "experienced marksman" posting in response to this thread ought to study up a bit,.....
