Sniper sets ‘new world record’ for longest kill

The special operations serviceman from the Security Service of Ukraine is said to have killed a Russian soldier from 2.36 miles away.

Footage which claims to show the sniper’s shot shows a Russian soldier dropping to the ground seconds after the shot is fired.

The shot is said to have come from a Horizon’s Lord sniper rifle.

The rifle, which stands at a terrifying six feet, is a single-shot bolt-action anti-material rifle.

Designed by a Ukrainian arms plant, the rifle is said to be easily transportable and can be removed from the battlefield with ease despite its monstrous size.

In a statement, the Ukrainian Army said: “SBU snipers are rewriting the rules of global sniping, showcasing unparalleled abilities to operate effectively at remarkable distances.”
