The black and white shots show a white figure running through a group of trees in the distance through a target optic. When she stops, the crosshairs move to the middle of her body – then a shot is fired and the target collapses, hit. Then the infrared optics shows a second figure running to the first one before that one also falls to the ground being hit by a projectile.
Camouflage is everything: a sniper from the Ukrainian army.

The video, which first surfaced on social media around November 11, has now been released by the Strategic Communications Office of Ukraine Telegram published. “The precise shot of our special forces sniper eliminated the enemy from a distance of 2710 m – a distance that is now number two in the world rankings,” it says. It is not known where the photo was taken and what weapon was used. At this range, however, it should be a rifle with a long-range, large caliber, such as a Ukrainian one Snipex Alligator act.
Because if the information is correct, he has unknown sniper replaced Craig Harrison, who killed two Taliban in Afghanistan in November 2009 from a distance of 2,475 meters, firing the second-longest fatal shot of all time. The furthest goal was achieved by a Canadian in Iraq in 2017, when he hit from a distance of 3450 meters.
The information cannot be verified, and some Twitter users question the recordings: the time between the shot being fired and the hit being hit is too short and the infrared telescopic sight no longer shows such clear images at this distance, they complain. But the Ukrainian army leadership insists on the authenticity of the recording.
It is possible that the Ukrainian soldiers fired from the Snipex Alligator sniper rifle, which is of domestic production.
