This marks the second time that Tom Berenger doesn't reprise his role as Thomas Beckett in the Sniper (1993) franchise. The first being Sniper: Reloaded (2011).

The brand name on the side of the scope was Schmidt and Bender. This brand is very high quality, very expensive, and is used by many police and military shooters around the world.

The EZ-CEB helicopter used in the movie is actually LZ-CEB, an Agusta A109K2 serial 10014, built 1994, operated by Heli Air Services in Bulgaria. The EZ-CEB reg. was likely created by turning the L to E. Interestingly, the helicopter was sold to Geo-Sky Airlines, Republic of Georgia in November 2018. From end of 1995 till 2012, the helicopter flew for the Swiss Air Rescue Guard (Rega) as HB-XWN.

The coordinates shown on the drone control panel at 9:52(NTSC) are 33? 23' 40" 20? 98' 47" and later 35?98'47" 35?78'47" and at 1:01:55 (NTSC) are 33? 23' 40" 20? 98' 47" and 35? 63' 40" 35' 78' 47". Although no direction is indicated, they are presumably north latitude and east longitude because those would in fact place the coordinates in North Africa.

Factual errors

Several times a drone fires a Hellfire missile but the resulting explosion resembles a grenade explosion. In reality, a Hellfire explosion has a 'kill radius' of 50 feet (15 meters) and a 'wounding radius' of 65 feet (20 meters).

At around 17:52 in the movie the sniper who tries to shoot "Junior" with a Dragunov looks through the sight PSO-1 and incorrectly ranges the actor as being closer than 100m, which is completely wrong as the scope has a ranging etching on the left side. A person 200m away 1.7m tall should be as tall as the first rightmost etch, while in the movie the sniper is approx. 300m away. The target should not be that big, as the scope magnifies 4x only.

"EZ-CEB" is the registered number for the helicopter that takes them from turkey to Georgia. Well, that number is assigned to Turkmenistan, which is on the other side of the Red Sea.



Revealing mistakes

The Dragunov the sniper aims at Junior is an obvious fake. There is no rivet in the magazine catch or even the lever that is used to release the magazine, the screws on the side are never on the milled receiver of a Dragunov, and the scope is mounted to the receiver cover which is a very unsteady mount compared to the proper side-rail mount normally used.

At 0:07:30 -"blood" splashes onto the camera lens.

At 0:32:04 -"blood" again splashes onto the camera lens.



Miscellaneous

Presenting the problem as GPS itself being how the enemy was locating the team is misleading. GPS is a one-way broadcast system - the satellites send a relatively weak, digital signal. Users have only receivers that themselves can't send GPS to intercept. What the enemies likely did was find the signal of the transmitters they were wearing directly, OR they used the feed to other devices such as UAVs (Drones) and the command centers sent by satellite(s). None of this would be easy where secure military radios were used - digital signals are encrypted, and can be sent over spread-spectrum where instead of one channel, a large range of frequencies are used to make finding the signal almost impossible without the decoding key and other data.
