Ukrainian sniper takes out Russian soldier 1.68 miles away nearly breaking world record

A heart-stopping video has captured the moment a Ukrainian sniper took out a Russian soldier 1.68 miles away in a near world record.

The Ukrainian military has now claimed that the powerful shot is the second-longest sniper kill in the world, knocking the kill by British former soldier Craig Harrison out of second place.

The images, which were obtained by the National Guard of Ukraine on November 11, along with a statement, show one of Vladimir Putin 's soldiers being "eliminated by a precise shot" 2.70 kilometres or 8,891 feet away.
