Ukrainian Sniper Makes 2nd Longest Combat Kill
Ukraine has claimed one if its snipers shot a Russian soldier from 1.7 miles away in what could be the second longest combat kill ever recorded.
Footage allegedly shows the moment the soldier drops to the ground after the sharpshooter takes a shot from a distance of 8,891ft.
It’s like shooting someone on Westminster Bridge from the top of Battersea Power Station – the length of 26 Wembley football pitches.
Ukraine’s Armed Forces said: ‘The occupier was eliminated by a precise shot of our special forces from a distance of 2,710 metres (8,891ft) – a distance that now ranks second in the world ranking, confirmed by the command of the Armed Forces.’

I’m not saying stories like this aren’t true, but I have…..questions….
1) how is something like this (in an actual theater of combat under foreign invasion), documented? Do the Ukrainians really have the extra resources available to loiter under hostile fire, just to document an “amazing 2-mile shot”?
2) how did they verify a ‘kill’? Did the Russkies confirm it? Did that single ‘kill’ secure the whole area so they could wander 2 miles down range, locate the body & waste time/resources figuring out which exact caliber caused the fatality?
3). How does the media magically have access to information like this? Were they ‘there’ by happenstance? Is this a story being ‘sold’? Anybody actually scrutinizing this information, or do we just accept it as another ‘victory story’ of the amazing, indefatigable, resilient Ukrainians, because that’s obviously what Joe Biden wants?
Not saying it ain’t true, but are these legit questions? Am I insane? A conspiracy theorist? Alex Jones?
Beuller?
