“I have four important goals now: an observer, a shooter and one grenade launcher. The purpose of our work is the same – fire cover for motorized rifle units, adjusting the fire of the AGS (grenade launcher), artillery, destroying the most important enemy targets, such as a machine gunner, machine gun crew – to stir up their hornet’s nest. And yet remain undetected. Because if a sniper is found, literally everything flies to this point, ”said the squad leader with the call sign Mazai.
Together with Mazay, a sniper with the call sign Kaban works. He is an observer, looking out for the enemy, his movements.
“I am watching the enemy, there is a thermal imager here. We can come to a position and, without a single shot, just point, adjust artillery, AGS, tanks can also point, ”he said.
