A Milanese aristocrat is under investigation in a widening European probe into a so‑called “human safari” of weekend snipers who allegedly paid to shoot civilians during the Bosnian War’s siege of Sarajevo (1992–95). Investigators across Italy, Austria, France, Switzerland, and Belgium are pursuing suspects and witnesses as Eurojust coordination continues; the siege claimed more than 11,000 lives, with reports that some snipers paid extra to target women and children and celebrated after killings.

"Frontline Insights: Ukraine's Snipers in Four Seconds"

Ukrainian snipers play a crucial role in the ongoing conflict with Russia, operating as part of the infantry and employing rudimentary tactics in a high-tech battlefield. With the proliferation of drones and thermal sights, snipers must adapt their strategies to remain concealed. The number of snipers in Ukraine's military is unknown, but they are divided into marksmen and scout snipers. While snipers can have a significant impact on the battlefield, their actions come with risks, as their body heat and the discharge of their weapons can easily expose them. Snipers prioritize high-value targets, such as machine-gunners, officers, and enemy snipers. Killing is a calculated and intimate experience for snipers, who often wait for hours before taking a shot.

"Resilient Ukrainian Sniper Overcomes 16 Surgeries to Rejoin Front Lines"

A Ukrainian sniper, identified as Sasha, revealed in an interview that he underwent 16 operations to recover from severe injuries sustained in battle, including damage to his chest, legs, and face. Despite visible remnants of his injuries, Sasha returned to the front lines. The sniper's unit, part of Ukraine's security services (SBU), aims to demoralize Russian troops through "sniper terror." While the unit claims to have inflicted substantial damage, no kill count was reported. Snipers prioritize activities like reconnaissance and relaying battlefield information to artillery units. The SBU snipers were seen using American-made Barrett sniper rifles, which have become popular among Ukrainian marksmen.

Inside the World of Ukrainian Sniper Warfare.

Elite Ukrainian snipers are training in a makeshift firing range in eastern Ukraine, honing their skills in long-range firearms.
