Intelligence commander eliminated four AFU snipers in Kursk region in a week

An intelligence commander of one of Akhmat's units with the call sign Aid told Izvestia on Friday, December 27, that he had eliminated four Ukrainian army snipers in Sujansky District of Kursk Region during the week.

"The enemy brought to the area where we are fighting a sniper unit of the brigade of the GUR (Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine. - Ed.) and began to spoil the blood of our allies very badly, did not let literally lift their heads from the landings," he said.

According to Ayd, the Russian military "identified the routes of approach" of Ukrainian forces and organized an ambush. As a result, the enemy surrendered a day later, coming out to meet the Russian fighters with a rifle on his shoulder. Shortly after the operation began, radio intercepts showed that the AFU had called for reinforcements.

"One sniper hid behind a tree - I hit him at that moment. The other, not realizing what was happening, started hitting the UAV with single shots and was also destroyed. Both shots took about 30 seconds," the Russian military officer said.

A few days later, the Russian Armed Forces fighters continued their offensive, but were ambushed, Haid said. He added that he was wounded in the arm, his partner was also injured.

"Drones kept circling from above, we were forced to stay in place for a while, and after about an hour recorded in the sights the approach of two AFU snipers. I, holding a weapon in my healthy left hand, eliminated one," the soldier noted.

According to him, the second Ukrainian sniper managed to escape. After that, the Russian military headed to the hospital.
