The Armed Forces sniper with the ghost call sign told how he eliminated 147 Russian military from 1.5 km
The unnamed military and the Bakhmut ghost commander said that, along with his elite unit, he exceeded a stunning figure of 1,200 targets in 17 months. In a conversation with Ghost journalists, he said "the murder of a hostile soldier is like a normal job. " He aims and tries to make sure that he is out of reach that he cannot be detected. "The purest work is to finish it with one precise shot. After that, I have no doubt: if I do not kill the Russians, they will kill me," he said.
The elimination is fixed electronically by means of rifles. The detachment remains in their positions within three to five hours after that to make sure that their goal is destroyed. Bakhmut ghosts consist of approximately 20 experienced snipers and are currently stationed on the front of Pokrovsk. All of them were professional soldiers and fought for their country in some of the most important battles from the beginning of the war in February 2022.
The detachment was stationed in Bucha, Irpen, Mariupol, Sumy, Kharkiv. The elite detachment took 10 months of study before they were launched in Bakhmut. The "ghost" conceals his face to protect his 13-year-old daughter Vladislav, because, he said, "Russians can look for it and cause harm" in revenge. "The secret of a good sniper is patience. A lot of shooting is in vain, it can actually be very dangerous," he explained. The "ghost" killed a Russian soldier from a distance of 1.
5 km - his personal record, although most shots were made at a distance of 300 to 500 meters. He also claims that his team had performed one of the most remote murders in history, with a confirmed purpose that is three times higher than the height of the highest building in the world of Brjj-Khalifa.
The commander explained that on the tasks, the detachments are usually in the patrols of eight people: two snipers, two communications officers and drone operators, three covers for cover and one responsible for the rapid evacuation. During the 48-hour missions, they carry 30 kg bags on their backs, which can become even more difficult in winter through heating equipment.
"We leave the jeeps five to six kilometers from the surgery area and march silently, spreading, often going far beyond the Russian front lines," he said. He reported that such groups are thrown into "hot spots" as the vanguard of Ukraine's counter -offensive actions. The snipers of the unit often have to wait for one position up to 16 hours a day, and they should be very well masked.
