The tension in the air was thick as the Special Forces waited for orders. The snipers positioned around the house used their thermal imaging technology to keep an eye on the situation inside. They could see the five people inside the house, three of them being armed militants while the other two were Captain Vasili's wife and child. The kidnappers were pacing back and forth, seemingly trying to figure out how to get out of the house alive.
The sniper turned to his spotter, seeking guidance on how to proceed. "What order do you think the High Command is going to give us?" he asked, his eyes fixed on the scope.
The spotter's eyes remained fixed on his binoculars, which also had thermal imaging capabilities. "I believe the High Command wants those goons taken out, but we must protect Vasili's wife and daughter at all costs," he replied firmly.
