The former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeriy Zaluzhny, who currently serves as Ukraine's ambassador to the United Kingdom, showcased the results of his shooting range training. He shared photos of the dented cartridges on his Facebook page.
Zaluzhny displayed a photo of the fired cartridges after shooting with a Glock 17 pistol.
"Glock 17. The same 15 meters and two shots," — the ex-general captioned the photo.
Valeriy Zaluzhny's post garnered admiration in the comments.
"I once thought this could only happen in movies, but here are our real and true heroes," — wrote Olga Voronina.
Commenters knowledgeable about firearms asked the former general what type of ammunition he used.
"I have just one question: what kind of cartridge did you use? Because penetration from 15 meters is almost always guaranteed with live ammunition. Otherwise, it's an impressive shot," — wrote Alexander Grom.
In May 2024, just a few days before his dismissal from service, Valeriy Zaluzhny showed a cartridge after shooting with a Glock 17 at a distance of 25 meters.
"There's still gunpowder in the flasks," — the former chief wrote then.
Recall that on January 17, NV observer Yulia Zabelina reported on supposedly opened criminal cases against Zaluzhny, responding to a question about whether the ex-general could run for president in the future.
On January 16, Valeriy Zaluzhny met in Kyiv with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who visited Ukraine to sign a "100-Year Partnership" agreement.
