Silent Retribution Out of Nowhere: Watch Russian Snipers in Special Op

Sputnik correspondents filmed Russian sharpshooters in combat action in the special military operation.

Snipers are elite troops that play a crucial role in the Ukrainian conflict, hunting high-profile targets – important officers, artillerists, machine gun operators and tank commanders.

They have a complex set of rules of combat behavior – they act in pairs, always look out for cover and move in dashes, avoiding melee combat at any cost.

Sharpshooters work stealthily and patiently, sometimes waiting for hours before a target appears. They carefully study intelligence on the enemy, trying to understand their habits and behavioral patterns. Finally, they pull the trigger and their job is done.
