Ukrainian Sniper Breaks Record With a 4‑km Kill
On a blistering August 14, 2025, a Ukrainian sharpshooter from the Pryvid unit (the “Ghost” squad) hit two Russian soldiers with a single bullet at a jaw‑dropping distance of 4,000 meters—the furthest confirmed sniper kill ever recorded.
What made this shot so special?
- Weapon: 14.5‑mm Alligator rifle
- Technology: Artificial intelligence assisting the aim, guided by a UAV complex
- Target: Two soldiers hiding behind a wall in the town of Pokrovsk–Myrnograd, Donetsk
Picture this: the bullet slices straight through a window, defeats a breathing target on the other side, and the whole thing is livestreamed from the skies. A high‑octane blend of tech, nerves, and a touch of luck!
Who did it before?
Just last year, a 58‑year‑old Ukrainian with the SBU shot a Russian from 3,800 meters using the Lord of the Horizon rifle—another record‑setter. The all‑time champion now holds the title, thanks in part to AI‑assisted precision.
Why this matters for Ukraine
In a conflict where every advantage counts, the new record shows how cutting‑edge tech can help defenders punch above their weight. According to reports, the “Pryvid” squad has already eliminated nearly 1,000 Russian troops this year alone.
What does the future look like?
With AI, drones, and rockets hitting targets at unprecedented ranges, the battlefield is changing faster than you can reload a rifle. And if you’re still trusting comic‑book heroes, just remember—this record‑breaking sniper is a real‑life legend, and he won it with nothing but a clean shot, a bit of tech, and a whole lot of courage.
