Shot to die for

-

A UKRAINIAN sniper has shot dead a Russian soldier from almost 1.7 miles away.

It is the second-longest sniper kill in history.

In footage shared online the sharpshoot­er is seen lining up his target. He then fires and, seconds later, the bullet hits the soldier, who collapses.

A Ukraine spokesman said: “The occupier was eliminated by a precise shot of our special forces from a distance of 2,710 metres.”

The longest-ever kill was by a Canadian sniper who took out an IS terrorist in Iraq from 3,450m away.
