Ukrainian Sniper Neutralizes Russian Soldiers from 4 km Away

A Ukrainian sniper achieved a world record by neutralizing two Russian soldiers with a single shot from a distance of 4 kilometers, according to the Ukrainian military.

The shot was executed by a member of the special unit "Pryvyd" or "Ghost" in the Donetsk region, near the city of Pokrovsk, last Thursday, August 14.

According to the New York Post, the shot was made with a Ukrainian-made "Alligator" rifle with a caliber of 14.5 mm and was guided with the help of artificial intelligence and drones. The shot penetrated a window behind which the two soldiers were located.

The previous record was also achieved by a Ukrainian sniper in 2023, with a shot from a distance of 3,800 meters.

The "Alligator" rifle has an initial bullet speed ranging from 980 to 1,000 meters per second.
