A Ukrainian sniper has claimed to shatter the world record for the longest kill shot in history after eliminating two Russian troops from an astonishing distance of 4,000 metres.
The soldier beat the previous world record for long-distance assassination set by another one of Kyiv's marksmen in 2023 by 200 metres, according to Ukraine's 24 Channel.
A video published on Telegram shows the sniper pair - the shooter and the spotter - making the lethal strike on the Pokrovsk–Myrnohrad defensive line.
The record was set using a 14.5mm Snipex Alligator rifle, from which a bullet was launched in the Pokrovsky direction and travelled through a window in a building behind which Russian servicemen were located, left of a visible rooftop pipe.
The historic shot was fired on August 14 and was guided by artificial intelligence working with a drone reconnaissance complex.
