WATCH: Ukrainian Sniper Takes Out Russian Soldier in Record-Breaking Long Distance Shot

A sniper in the security service of Ukraine (SBU) claimed a groundbreaking world record by taking out a Russian soldier from a distance of 2.36 miles. The shot beats the previous record for a combat kill from a distance of 1.7 miles.
