How snipers work in Bakhmut direction 

He shared this in the military section of the Serhiy Zgurets’ Column.

"The Bakhmut area is quite extensive. Some areas are currently quiet and stable, while there are other places where fighting is happening. Both sides are focused on defensive actions. Our situation in this direction is under control and remains stable," Pryvyd explained.

He emphasized the effectiveness of working in groups.

"A group is not just a sniper; it also includes units responsible for cover, positioning, and retreat, as well as an evacuation team. These fighters work together in harmony. Working in groups in the Bakhmut area has always been challenging, primarily due to the distance involved. Snipers operate at both short and long ranges. In Bakhmut, the challenge is to minimize the distance to 150-200 meters. Sometimes snipers work from as far as 2400 meters, depending on the task at hand. The main objective is to provide cover for assault units and engage targets from positions 200-300 meters away. Snipers receive versatile training to adapt to different conditions and distances. They assess the situation and choose the best positions for their work," the soldier stated.

"The main weapon used is the Ukrainian UAR-10 rifle, which is highly effective at short distances. Additionally, there is the Barrett MRAD caliber 338, designed for distances up to 1,500 meters. The highlight is the Barrett M82, which allows engaging targets up to 2,400 meters away. The UAR-10 rifle is popular due to its reliable performance and versatility. It's a simple two-part design that is quick to disassemble, and any issues can be addressed on the battlefield. Its effective range is 800 meters. Some soldiers equipped with thermal sights can work at a distance of 1100-1200 meters, which is an exceptional option," he added.
