I’ve actually used machine guns in an actual war and I have no idea what “sharp shots” are. Maybe one of you clacking keyboard REMFs would know.

MAYBE THIS TRANSLATION WILL HELP CLARIFY:

Snipers-border guards stopped the Russian attack near Bakhmut and eliminated the commander of the invaders,
- SBS

Military personnel of the State Border Service of Ukraine as part of the Defense Forces in one of the directions near Bakhmut stopped the advance of a unit of Russian troops.

This is reported by the Censor.No, with reference to the press service of the state border service of Ukraine.

“A border sniper group stopped the advance of enemy infantry in one of the directions near Bakhmut. The invaders ‘ rifle unit was moving out to attack the stronghold of the Ukrainian defenders,” the report says.

It is noted that snipers identified the head of the unit and eliminated the commander and machine gunner with well-aimed shots.

“The invaders, having lost control of the unit, were afraid to attack and fled,” the state border guard service added. Source: https://censor.net/ua/n3391832

The sentence in question from https://censor.net/ua/news/3391832/ is "Зазначається, що снайпери вирахували керівника підрозділу і влучними пострілами ліквідували командира та кулеметника."

Translation by:
Google: "It is significant that the snipers> slew the machine gunner and killed the commander of that machine-gunner with their shots"
Yandex: "It is noted that snipers identified the head of the unit and eliminated the commander and machine gunner with well-aimed shots."
Bing:  "It is noted that the snipers calculated the head of the unit and eliminated the commander and machine gunner with accurate shots."

Snipers are considered "sharp shooters" and "sharp shots". Its English and limits of translation programs, not keyboard warriorship.
