Near the village of Vodyanoye, the Volnovakha district of the Donetsk region, the hybrid army uses a new tactic of shooting. It consists in the fact that the militants cover with a noise from a large-caliber weapon the shelling of the AGS or snipers. This is reported by the mobile press group of the ATU headquarters in the Azov direction.

"In the course of shelling, the fighters are losing money. Just one of these days one military. He was on the "zero". A large-caliber machine gun began to work, the soldier returned to the phone to report the shelling, and at that moment a sniper shot. Despite the fact that the fighter was in full protection, the bullet hit his side. The wound proved incompatible with life, "said an officer of one of the units of a separate motorized infantry brigade of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces, who keep the defense here.

According to him, this shot is an example of a new tactics of shooting pro-Russian invaders. "Militants cover with noise from large-caliber weapons the firing of AGS (automatic grenade launcher - easel. ) or snipers, "- explained the officer.

He noted that there are two types of fire: one provocative, when there is an aimless shooting with the aim of making ATO forces open fire and uncover fire points, and another - sighting, when they strike clearly on observation posts, on the embrasure of observers, on positions. "In this case, we report to the authorities and open fire. We give an adequate response from authorized weapons, "the military.

The officer added that according to the positions of the ATU forces the hybrid army fires daily, almost round the clock from many types of weapons - mortars, machine guns, both 7.62 mm, and large-caliber.

"Sometimes he drives up from that side of the infantry fighting vehicle and heats from the cannon. It comes to direct shootings, and from that side, most likely, there are mixed groups - in the trenches sit local mercenaries. And the curators and instructors, judging by the radio interceptions, those that came from behind the "curb," - notes the fighter.
