Civil war in Syria. Contract sniper Sasha Izmailov and his partner Corporal Batlay Zhambaev arrive in the mechanized brigade fighting for Palmyra. The task of the new arrivals is to suppress sniper and machine gun points on the neighboring street. Snipers find the optimal point, mark landmarks and fill out a fire card. The poor training of the ISIS members allows Sanya to remove three at once. The first success turned my head. The war seemed like an exciting adventure. But soon everything changes... The author convincingly shows how stereotypes are broken even among a trained fighter in a real war, where death rules everything.
