The defense stated: “Sniper units of the 51st Joint Guards Army Rifle Brigade of the Southern Military District set ambushes for drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and take them down with precise shots day and night.” The ministry indicated that in the Krasnoarmeysk direction, snipers occupy favorable firing positions on designated flight paths of the heavy drones belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
It explained that through continuous sky monitoring and communication with the units, the fighters of the Fifth Brigade detect enemy drone movements and destroy low-flying drones with precise shots.
The ministry confirmed that the tactics of the sniper units demonstrate high efficiency, allowing them to destroy enemy heavy drones as they approach positions and disrupt the delivery of ammunition and supplies to sites, which began on February 24, 2022, to protect the residents of Donbas, who have been persecuted and exterminated by the Kyiv regime for years.
