Russian snipers work in pairs and fight enemy drones. They use the world's longest-range rifle in its caliber, the "Retribution" rifle, the Dragunov sniper rifle (SVD), and the Kalashnikov assault rifle, equipped with thermal sights. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense.
As practice has shown, this is very effective. Our unit currently has more than 58 heavy UAVs hit.
If the enemy tries to bypass the snipers' positions, then they use the long-range rifle VSV-338 (developed by the Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant).
VSV-338 works at long distances, and then we can hit with the second or third shot.
