The Evolution of Sniper Warfare in Ukraine

Four long years of experience: how sniper warfare — and our support for snipers — has changed. In just one more month, the great russian-Ukrainian war will have lasted as long as the First World War. It was in the furnace of World War I that mass professional sniping was born. During the Russian-Ukrainian war, sniper warfare has undergone its greatest transformation yet — and these changes must be understood again and again. These days also mark four years since we began helping snipers. By then I could no longer fight myself, and countless requests from the front forced me to begin the work of providing grassroots support to units close to my heart. During the first months, starting in May 2022, we helped with ammunition, vehicles, rifles, optics, suppressors — we provided whatever the guys asked for. But even at that early stage, we began concentrating on .338 caliber rifles, mainly Rugers and Savages as affordable but high-quality weapons. We refined every rifle to near perfection,...

Which bullet would be the best for conventional 375th caliber rifles

We have a new achievement – ​​the enemy was hit at a distance of 3600 m with the Victrix Throne V 38’’ 375th caliber rifle! Several conclusions can be drawn from this achievement, the first of which is simple – interested state authorities could purchase the Victrix Throne V 38’’ 375th caliber rifle and test them as an option in selected sniper units. These rifles are now sold in Ukraine, everything you need for them can also be obtained. The second conclusion is more important for us: the 375th caliber cartridge based on the highest quality Peterson cartridge case (if it is not mutilated), the classic brilliant Hornady A-TIP Match 390 grain bullet and good gunpowder is capable of showing wonderful results! The fact that even with the best components you can make shit – well, that’s a separate problem, I don’t even want to discuss it. Also, these days after a record hit at 3600 m on one side and excellent test results on Victrix Throne V 38’’ rifles and Cadex rifles with a twist of 1:...

Snipers can only work effectively where a support system exists

If your brigade does not fight like special operations forces, there is no point in trying to revive sniping within it. I said this harsh truth yesterday — but this is the law of modern warfare. In the past, you could create an island of elite professionalism, and it could still function in an ocean of chaos. Today, that is no longer enough. Today, it is not enough to invest money into sniper equipment , or time and effort into training a sniper team. What matters now is that the sniper team is fully integrated into the larger system of the unit — and that this system itself operates at the highest standards of modern warfare. Not long ago, snipers were being actively reassigned and concentrated in places where they could function as part of a system — where they would be supported in everything from drone operators to medical evacuation if wounded. Those who failed to transfer before the de facto restrictions now regret it and are looking for a way out. Last year, we agreed — unde...
