Ukrainian snipers show no mercy to Russian soldiers and drones in the Zaporizhzhia sector

According to the report, the fight took place in the Zaporizhzhia sector. The special forces were operating from the positions of an adjacent unit when the enemy launched a massive attack using artillery, drones, and infantry. During the snipers’ combat operations against designated targets, the enemy ended up in Ukrainian trenches. Then the snipers put aside their primary weapons and, using grenades, assault rifles, and machine guns, fought off the attack and cleared the position of Russian forces. Thanks to the high professionalism and coordinated actions of the special forces, the position remained under the control of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

The report said that a sniper has a unique ability to send precision fire down range for a kill, typically from concealed positions, but they often support operations in other ways, such as targeting and overwatch. The rifle is a valuable tool in those missions, even if a shot is never fired. Sniping in Ukraine is developing very rapidly. Ukraine produces its own sniper rifles and sights. Currently, the brigades have sniper platoons consisting of four squads, each of which is an independent tactical unit capable of conducting autonomous combat operations. Each squad consists of six fighters, conditionally divided into their combat functions: a sniper pair and a security group. Snipers also sometimes manage to shoot down Russian drones. In March, a Ukrainian sniper shot down a Russian drone in the Kharkiv region using a .308-caliber rifle.

A war shows no mercy; dead or alive is the only option for the warriors.
