The Ukrainian sniper believed to have killed a Russian officer from a record 2.4 miles away is a 58-year-old ex-businessman who had already begun packing up his rifle by the time his bullet hit its target.
A Ukrainian sniper took out a Russian soldier from nearly 2.5 miles away with a high-tech rifle known as "Horizon's Lord" shattering a world record for the longest sniper kill, Ukraine says.
The Ukraine security service reportedly told local media that a sniper has set a new world record by killing a Russian soldier from a distance of 3.8 kilometers.
