In Donbas, the Ukrainian military uses a special anti-sniper technique. It was shown on footage and posted on the Internet..
This was told by the Ukrainian edition of Defense Express.
Usually, representatives of the Armed Forces of Ukraine carry out an anti-sniper operation in the so-called "gray zone". The group goes to neutral territory and with the help of a homemade dummy, imitating a head, provokes enemy snipers, being at this time in shelter. If the sniper opens fire on a target, APU observers determine its location, after which, or no further action is taken, or trying to eliminate it.
On posted footage, according to its authors, the Ukrainian military are operating in 200 meters from enemy positions. Instead of the mannequin – wrapped stick.
This indicates that, that after seven years of war, the Ukrainian army does not have modern anti-sniper equipment. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have long complained about the catastrophic lack of anti-sniper systems, but, fortunately for LDNR, the situation is not moving forward at all. Therefore, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have to use improvised means.
Besides, you can see in the frames, that the Ukrainian military is using the empty houses of local residents for their operations.
known, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have several expensive imported anti-sniper systems at their disposal, which are not used on the front line, and are used for training military personnel at the training ground. At least, so say the Ukrainian military themselves.
Besides, Ukrainian military industry is developing a domestic system "Antisniper". It is designed to detect optical surveillance devices and combat snipers.. The manufacturer guarantees, that the operating range of the product is 1,5 km, but in reality it can exceed two kilometers.
