A Ukrainian sniper unit reportedly set a new world record on Thursday for the longest confirmed sniper kill, striking Russian forces from over 13,000 feet (4,000 meters).The shot, fired using a Ukrainian-made rifle and assisted by artificial intelligence and drone guidance, killed two Russian soldiers near Pokrovsk, Ukraine, Fox news reported quoting the Kyiv Post.Military journalist Yuri Butusov said the record-breaking shot occurred on August 14 using a 14.5 mm alligator rifle under the guidance of an unmanned aerial vehicle system.The attack happened amid intensified Russian assaults in the Pokrovsk area, a city that once had more than 60,000 residents.The previous record was held by a 58-year-old Ukrainian sniper who eliminated a target from around 12,400 feet (3,800 meters).The record-breaking shot occurred a day before President Donald Trump’s closely watched summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. During a joint press conference, Putin described the talks as conducted in a “constructive atmosphere of mutual respect.”Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet Trump in Washington DC on Monday. In a post on X, Zelenskyy said that the two leaders will “discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war.”
