homeland s survival for nearly 18 months. they gave cnn a rare interview as they honed their sniper scopes to broadcast the damage they say they ve been doing to russian front lines. it s sniper terror, he says. that s when he hit every target we spot. it demoralizes them and kills their will to do anything against us but it s not always one sided. five weeks ago, they stumbled at night into a russian recon group. we were in the gray zone between our lines the commander says. using a guide from another unit. but we ran into a russian assault group doing pretty much the same thing as us, moving towards our front position. we opened fire. our guide was wounded. we suppressed them, pulled him out. pulled in artillery then watched them fall back with their wounded. they do not always escape. sasha knows that too well.
