, yes, it happens, it happens, it happens, but we hold on, of course, an unmanned shuttle, another university development, a mission control center, students actually control , real satellites, of course, but what can we do it right now, let's try, the group's snipers are working in the ugledar direction. vostok troops usually operate in threes consisting of a shooter, spotter and cover. the enemy is trying to track them down using drones with thermal imagers, and therefore, even in closed firing positions, the work of soldiers is fraught with great risks. eduard punigov will continue: we work at 12 o’clock, approximately. ugledarskaya direction, approximately 3 km from the line of combat contact. a squad of snipers from the vostok group returns to their positions after successfully completing another combat mission. snipers work in short

bursts, constantly moving, taking turns covering each other. mark, move away! the trio of snipers returned to a relatively safe place without losses, the fighters have a little time to answer questions from our film crew. the most difficult thing is to get to the goal. everything possible works for us. mortars, ortas, machine gunners, and snipers are our opponents. the squad commander came here from primorye, his wife and three sons are waiting for him at home, the youngest is only 10 months old, he came here as a volunteer, he himself came to the military registration and enlistment office and signed a contract, saw, heard, and i thought, why not defend our homeland, so i came here, we we will defend ours, we will take what is ours, victory will be ours, snipers, like as a rule, they work in small groups , a shooter, a spotter and a cover, but if necessary they can change places, the most basic task is this... it’s worth fighting with enemy snipers, you can’t underestimate them, a sniper duel is a very difficult thing,

if somewhere - then a sniper appeared in no man's land or on the enemy's side, but here you can no longer escape the fight, you need to fight to the last, this is very hard work in fact, the strongest, the most cunning, the most experienced, the most powerful, wins in an ambush, shooters can sit for hours in any weather. in winter , it is especially difficult for snipers to work; the fact is that the enemy actively uses drones with thermal imagers, which clearly see the fighters, so even in a closed firing position, snipers are very vulnerable. despite the difficult working conditions, it is not customary to complain here. the soldiers understand perfectly well that the life of the entire sniper team depends on the actions of each person. eduard ponegov, alexander botkin, lead the south donetsk direction. one of the important areas of a special military operation, where now there is fighting - this is avdeevka.

our troops, overtook them ahead of these regular troops, broke through the enemy’s defenses and reached the outskirts of avdeevka, captured 19 houses and held them in a hurry, the men there fight as they should, they fight as they should, so these are the kind of people, of course, who should be involved in educating the young people, the younger generation. now sports news, alexander, the russian national football team will play against serbia on march 21, tell us more.
