Enemy at the Gates

That probably should have stayed a secret.

The morale boost to the Ukrainians is probably worth more than any direct impact he will have.

This!

Probably true...
But, I suppose that depends on, if your the target..

yep

I question if it is just propaganda.

Another news story

Hey look it works

I'm not so sure...
If your a Russian soldier. It sure gives you something to think about.
Especially, if your shooting at unarmed women and children..
If I were the propaganda minister of Ukaraine... I'd release the info, he's
been stationed in "this town" or "that town".. So they'd never know precisely
where he was..

More of an open secret. Contractors have been there for weeks. Several are very, very good with a rifle.

Yes it is used for propaganda purposes but it is the real dill pickle

One of world's deadliest snipers leaves home in Canada to fight in Ukraine: 'I have to help'
'They were so happy to have us,' the former Canadian soldier said of Ukrainians welcoming him


A former Canadian soldier known as one of the world’s deadliest snipers arrived to Ukraine to help the nation defend itself from Russia.

"I want to help them. It's as simple as that," the Canadian man, only identified as Wali to protect his family’s safety, told CBC. "I have to help because there are people here being bombarded just because they want to be European and not Russian."

Wali is a former sniper with the Royal Canadian 22nd Regiment who previously fought in the Afghanistan War. He has a kill distance of over two miles, according to the Mirror, and is known as one of the world’s most deadly snipers

He crossed into Ukraine on March 1 along with three other former Canadian soldiers after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on foreigners to join the war against Russia’s invasion.

"They were so happy to have us," Wali told the CBC of the people who greeted the former soldiers with hugs as they entered Ukraine. "It's like we were friends right away."

Wali, 40, has a young family and works as a civilian computer programmer. He said the "hardest part" of making the decision to join the war was missing his son’s first birthday.

"A week ago, I was still programming stuff," he said. "Now I’m grabbing anti-tank missiles in a warehouse to kill real people. … That’s my reality right now."


Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said earlier this week that more than 20,000 people across dozens of countries have traveled to Ukraine to fight.

someone need to place him 1000 yards from Putin,

Mo

Good point

I can only hope he finds a target rich environment and has many successful hunting excursions. Before this news, I thought to myself where would Chris Kyle be if he was still with us.

He'd be on an elevated position shooting through a loophole, same as he did in Iraq.

But those Canadian boys can damn sure shoot. Several Canadians are on the list of world record distance kills.

I'd let him and his buddies do there work and leave it to the Russians to report it to their troops. A silent killer seems to weigh much more on my mind than the one I know about. If their buddies are getting picked off it is much more likely fear would spread fast among the targets and worse decisions will be made.

I would think there are plenty of snipers already working there. On both sides.

So I got a question, if he leaves Canada and goes to Ukraine to fight. If the Russians were to kill him on foreign soil, is that not an act of war on Canada from Russia?

I was wondering the same about US Civilians going over there as well, if they were killed would it be an act of war on America?

Nope, they are fighting under a branch of the Ukraine military, not the US or Canada.

I read somewhere else that Ukraine was offering Ukraine citizenship to foreign enlistments.

Did he bring his own gun? I've been reading stories that Ukraine is turning people away because they don't have enough guns.

Yep it’s BYOG

That would suck after flying all the way there.

Oh. I bet they find him one...!
