Granted you start losing the term "sniper" as it means today when you
apply 
it to tomorrow's toys, and when you start aiming at vehicles...  Hence
the 
"etc" in my initial comment about hidden assests.  A spec force of some 
sort, carrying a tactical nuke with instructions to plant it under the 
suspected landing zone.

Or a few engineers who lay a few landing zones out that look good, til
you 
land on them.
