Real Ukrainian Sniper Reveals AK as Weapon of Choice in Combat.
Ukrainian snipers prefer using AK rifles with thermal scopes over expensive sniper rifles for front-line fighting against Russian troops in Bakhmut, where there are no sniper duels like in movies. The need for snipers has dropped, and they have been working as "saboteurs" instead. The battle around Bakhmut has been characterized by brutal trench warfare, where soldiers endure the constant threat of artillery and gunfire and also harsh living conditions.
