Sniper Record: Lecturer scout destroyed the occupier at a distance of 2069 meters

In November 2009, British sniper Craig Harrison successfully struck two Taliban at a distance of 2475 meters during the war and damaged their machine gun. GUR noted that he fired lying down and was in a significantly higher position than his goals. In addition, its accuracy was facilitated by windless weather and clear visibility. However, before hitting, the British sniper had to make nine firing. Instead, the lecturer fired in completely different realities.

The GUR sniper acted in the harsh conditions of December cold, being in the trench almost at the same level of relief for the purpose. The shot was made in a moving target that was among the trees. The apt result was achieved on the first attempt. "In the modern war, you do not have the opportunity to get out of the trench, to break in landing, etc. The enemy drones do not allow you to shoot from the classic provisions," the sniper explained.

The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence Kirill Budanov praised the skill of the special forces, calling his work a skillful and one that will accurately enter the history of Ukraine's struggle. "To engage in a moving goal at such a distance is a great achievement; evidence of high professionalism and concentration, which is famous for snipers of Ukrainian military intelligence," Budanov said. Prior to the war, the "lecturer" worked as a hunter, and went to the front with his son.

He began his service in intelligence, and since February 2023 he was fighting in the elite unit of active actions of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. He has passed a number of specialized military exercises. In general, during the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the lecturer destroyed more than 30 enemy goals, each time carefully choosing a weapon for a specific task. For a shot for 2069 meters, he used the Sako M10 rifle.
