According to the Ukrainian Internal Security Service (SBU), a sniper has set a world record. The soldier is said to have shot a Russian from a distance of 3,800 meters.
For this purpose, the secret service special agent used the Ukrainian multi-caliber rifle “Volodar Obriju” (in German: Lord of the Horizon). According to local media, the weapon was manufactured in a Ukrainian factory and developed with help from the US and the British.
“The SBU snipers are rewriting the rules of global sniper attacks and demonstrating unparalleled capabilities to operate effectively at remarkable ranges,” an official statement said.
Video shows record usage
A video showing the record recording is circulating on the social media platform You can see the sight through the attacker’s crosshairs. It is unclear where exactly the scene was shot. Ukraine only says that the record was made at the front. The information cannot be independently verified.
The previous world record for a long shot was 3540 meters. A Canadian soldier fired this at IS fighters in Iraq in 2017. The sniper achieved the record shot at the time with a McMiller TAC-50 rifle from a high-rise building. (jwg)
