558 killed in 9 months: The Bakhmut Ghost Sniper told how the occupiers were eliminated for 3 km (photo)

The Bakhmut Sniper Commander with the same call sign reported that his unit of several dozen well -trained soldiers, at the same time, had a total of 558 servicemen from Russian occupation troops. The Ghost also claims that his team has succeeded one of the most complex operations performed at a relatively far distance from the target: about 2. 5 km. This is three times higher than the height of Burj-Khalifa (the highest building in the world).

He said that the team, as a rule, hunts for high -critical goals of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and the operational distance is usually about 750 meters. Most often, the sniper unit goes at the forefront of the counter -offensive of Ukraine. "When an offensive or counter -offensive is planned, our task is to go first and clear the territory," he said. Snipes of the unit often have to wait for one position up to 16 hours a day and at the same time be very well masked.

Their main weapons are the American Barrett M107A1 rifle, also used Barrett Mrad and some Ukrainian developments, including UAR-10 and Snipex Alligator. The Barrett M107A1 lesion area is 2. 2 km in the ghost weapons in the ghost team, and the maximum range is 4 km. Successful liquidations of the unit are fixed electronically with rifles. But the unit needs to be left in positions for three to five hours to ensure that the target is affected.

According to "Ghost", this grueling work can psychologically break a person. "It's not like American movies that romanticize the work of snipers," he explained, adding that the main part of the work performed is related to survival. "You learn to count, do mathematics. You will be scratching, you can explore the environment. You can shoot. But if you cannot survive, there will be no sense in this. " According to him, work lasts around the clock, day and night. Without weekends.

"You are completely exhausted, all the juices are squeezed out of you," he said. According to a serviceman, after returning from missions, snipers try to maintain some visibility of normal life. The "ghost" tries to call the little daughter as often as possible, and in his spare time he writes and sings songs. The combat spirit of the detachment is supported by the beloved Huski Lola, called the "antidepressant.
