The attached video has been posted on the Ukrainian Joint Operation Forces Facebook page. Somehow Ukrainian authorities were able to obtain a video of Operatives from Directorate "A" of the FSB Special Purpose Center (TsSN FSB) of Russian Federation commonly known as Alfa conducting recon and sniper operation against the Ukrainian forces in Luhansk region in late February 2020.
The equipment of a 3 men sniper team is out of this world.
The primary sniper rifle looks like
Accuracy International AX308 or something similar
The primary multi function gadget is without a doubt French-made Safran Vectronix JIM LR
However, I have no idea about anti-drone or some sort of ECM rifle carried by the Russian operatives. It appears at 1:55 of the video.

From Mountain Troops thread
Eight men of the "13e Bataillon de Chasseurs Alpins" will be undergoing the initial phase of sniper training in the mountains of "Savoie" during the whole month of June. If they pass that first course they will go for another two months of training before being operational as sniper and DMR.
