American weapons were used in Donbass
Military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are shelling the territory of the LPR using large-caliber Western-style sniper rifles.
The official representative of the People's Militia of the LPR, Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Marochko, announced this at a briefing today, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“LPR intelligence records systematic provocative attacks by Ukrainian Armed Forces units on populated areas and checkpoint areas using large-caliber and sniper small arms produced by NATO countries,” said a representative of the defense department.
He clarified that this conclusion was made based on the results of a study of bullets recovered from treetops, parapets and dugout ceilings, as well as during the recent shelling of a school in Zolote-5.
“The shelling is carried out using a large-caliber sniper rifle from the Barrett M82 company and the Desert Tech brand, made in the USA, with 12,7 mm and 9,5 mm ammunition,” Marochko said.
He also added that deliveries of foreign rifles with a cartridge of this caliber were made in the second half of 2018 to the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Canada.
