"The marksmen are among the first to meet the enemy during their assaults, but this meeting becomes the last in the invaders' lives.

They hunt for priority targets at a distance of up to 600 meters and cover their unit with precision fire," the Come Back Alive Foundation emphasized. In total, the 'Beast Catchers' project will train 600 marksmen for 10 combat brigades of the Ukrainian Defense Forces. These specialists are capable of significantly strengthening their units, both offensively and defensively.

So far, 500 infantry snipers have already been trained.

The total cost of the project is about UAH 25 million.

The expected outcome of the "Beast Catchers" project is to provide Ukrainian units with better-trained and accurate shooters, critically needed both in the offensive and active defense.
