The record-breaking strike occurred on the Pokrovsk–Myrnohrad defensive line, within the responsibility zone of Ukraine’s “Donetsk” operational group.

The mission was carried out by Pryvyd (“Ghost”), a composite sniper detachment comprising eight sniper platoons from Ukraine’s Ground Forces.

According to military reports, the Pryvyd unit has proven devastatingly effective—eliminating nearly 1,000 Russian troops in this sector over the past year alone.

Remarkably, the previous world record also belonged to a Ukrainian. In November 2023, 58-year-old SBU sniper Vyacheslav Kovalsky eliminated a Russian soldier from 3,800 meters in the Kherson region using a Ukrainian-made multi-caliber Horizon’s Lord rifle.

Earlier, A Ukrainian sniper struck a Russian armored personnel carrier from an extraordinary distance of 1,700 meters, reportedly neutralizing the vehicle’s driver during an enemy assault operation.
