Allied forces actively deploy the DXL-5 Ravager sniper rifle in a special operation in Ukraine, chambered for the NATO 12.7 x 99 millimeter cartridge. This fact was disclosed by a representative from Lobaev Arms, the manufacturer, and reported by DEA News. The official noted that the rifle demonstrates strong performance and exceptional accuracy in the field. He added that every shot is recorded, emphasizing that precision matters more than ever. According to the spokesperson, NATO-caliber rifles currently lead the field in this operation. A further note explained that the Loot batches produced for the Russian Armed Forces are manufactured to the Russian 12.7 x 108 millimeter standard. In earlier reporting, the world’s longest-range Russian-made SVLK-14S Twilight rifle was said to have been used for the first time in Ukraine. At present, Russian forces are conducting a special operation in Ukraine, a move publicly announced by President Vladimir Putin on February 24. The stated objective is to demilitarize Ukraine and oppose what Moscow describes as nazification of its officials. The decision to commence this operation contributed to new sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and allied nations. (Source attribution: Lobaev Arms; DEA News)
