All of this is great but They should also teach young officers the importance of constitution of Pakistan, democracy mixed in with decolonisation reforms so it becomes Pak army not British Indian Army Northwest edition

Looks like ISPR has moved on from a Major sahab doing the narration to getting freelancers.
Also the production quality has gone a bit up.

In addition to long-range and high-grade marksmanship, Pakistan Army snipers are trained in a variety of special operation techniques: detection, stalking, target range estimation methods, camouflage, tracking, bushcraft, field craft, infiltration, special reconnaissance and observation, surveillance and target acquisition.
Snipers need to have complete control of their bodies and senses in order to be effective. They also need to have the skill set to use data from their scope and monitors to adjust their aim to hit targets that are extremely far away. In training, snipers are given charts that they're drilled on to ensure they can make last-minute calculations when they are in the field.
Although optical equipment such as rangefinders and ballistic calculators have largely eliminated manual calculations to determine elevation and windage, the fundamentals of accurate and precise long-range shooting remain essentially the same since the early history of shooting, and the skill and training of the shooter, and the shooter's spotter where applicable, are the primary factors.
Accuracy and precision of ammunition and firearms are also still reliant primarily on human factors and attention to detail in the complex process of producing maximum performance.
The modern method of long-distance sniping (shots over 1,100 m or 0.7 mi) requires intense training and practice.
A sniper must have the ability to accurately estimate the various factors that influence a bullet's trajectory and point of impact, such as the shooter's distance from the target, wind direction, wind speed, air density, elevation, and even the Coriolis effect (inertial motion of spherically rotating earth must be taken into consideration when determining correct terminal elevations of round and target).
Modern snipers have been verified to make successful kills of over 3,800 yards, or around 3.5 kilometres.
