Why we train marksmen and not invest everything exclusively at the longest-range sniper groups

I am asked why we train marksmen, invest time and resources, and not throw everything exclusively at sniper groups fighting with the longest-range rifles?

Today I came across an interesting testimony from the front.

Svyatoslav Yavorivsky (slavko.yavir on fb):

"The effectiveness of shooting with an AK-74 or AR-15 at 300-400 m is practically zero, and cartridges cost money. A machine gun firing point immediately becomes a target for drones. 

No one has canceled infantry combat, but we need to return to the good old mass sniping, that is, marksmen. The Finns once completely demoralized the Red Army in this way. A detachment of stormtroopers should be supported by one machine gun and two marksmen (local accurate separate shooters). This is not a sniper with a two-meter "paddle" of large caliber, but an accurate shooter at 400-500 m, with a semi-automatic rifle, who supports defensive combat or assault from cover. The Americans have been doing this for a long time.


To train a marksman, you need to not dig trenches for 2 months, not disassemble AK-74, but learn to choose a position, camouflage, move smoothly and fire 2000 shots at 400–600 meters. Then there will be no "infiltration" of small groups of orcs, either day or night.

I saw all sorts of weapons from NATO (machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, grenades, assault rifles), but I did not see any .308 caliber marksmen rifles with good day-night optics in the hands of fighters. Because there are none! And why? Because the generals, on instructions "from above", are fixated on anti-drone drones. But the infantry suffers not only from them.

The worst orc is an orc at a distance of 200-400 meters: you can't peck it with an AK, you can't get it with a grenade, you can't cover it with a machine gun, and it crawls along the ditches. And the marksman will wait and catch it. You don't need to invent anything, that's all invented and tested in Iraq. "

I find this testimony very indicative: now more support for marksmen is needed!!!

We are doing everything we can, and we call on everyone to support us!!!

Cadex CDX-40 Shadow cal. 375 CheyTac has proven to be a reliable weapon

We first ordered Cadex CDX-40 Shadow 375 CheyTac super rifles in December 2022 . Before that, we limited ourselves to 338LM rifles, perfected them, provided good cartridges, and were satisfied that our trained snipers hit the enemy at a distance of 1,800-2,000 meters. We also actively provided 50 BMG rifles, appreciating the opportunity to hit the enemy with armor-piercing cartridges. But throughout the fall of 2022, the best snipers asked us to buy 375-caliber rifles, and we began to buy Cadex CDX-40 Shadow cal rifles. .375 CheyTac. First, we bought back a few batches of rifles that the Ibis store brought in for us. Second, we bought some relatively new rifles second hand. Third, we brought some rifles from abroad. Fourth, in one of the batches of Cadex CDX-40 Shadow rifles cal. 375 CheyTac from the Ibis store added spare barrels - and we bought old Cadex rifles off hand and replaced the barrels with new ones. We were satisfied with the results. The rifles had different barrels, but i...

The solidarity of the people replaced the institutions, because the latter were extremely passive

⬇️ Long read with stories and adult assessments that may not please everyone , but I, for my part, as a person, as a professor, as a volunteer, do everything I can and more, just like our snipers. What the state did, read below. Our assistance to snipers began in the spring of 2022, as the Azov snipers , who were stopping the enemy’s advance on Zaporizhzhia, asked us for cartridges. Who should have given them cartridges? The state! But we did, and this played a decisive role in stopping the advance during intense fighting in the Huliaipole area. Then we called the fundraising “People’s Cartridge,” because the people replaced the state. The solidarity of the people replaced the institutions, because the latter were extremely passive . We also began to help Serhiy Poznyak with cartridges – and have been helping for three years now, because the state does not even think of investing in his special forces platoon. Everything is based on enthusiasm, and we are grateful that they were allowe...

What are we working on in January?

We are getting, buying and handing over 375 caliber rifles . We will try to buy and hand over another long-range sniper rifle Cadex CDX-40 Shadow in 375caliber. We will also definitely buy 3 barrels of 375 caliber, which are still reserved for us, to convert the Cadex rifles with a significant range of fire. We need $12,000 for the rifle, 3 barrels in total are $9,000. We will try to buy and transfer 2 or 3 Desert Tech HTI 29" FDE, .375 Chey Tac rifles . Such rifles are very convenient for night operations, they are easier to move and camouflage with. On the one hand, we are constantly asked not only for the Cadex CDX-40 Shadow or Victrix Throne V 38’’ super rifles, but also persuaded to buy Desert Tech HTI 29" FDE, .375 Chey Tac. We are working on buying such rifles in January. One is already in Kyiv, we just need to buy it, two more should be in a few days. Such rifles can be bought for $14,000. We constantly provide 375 and 338 caliber cartridge s, we satisfy the nee...
