Ukraine says sniper killed Russian soldier almost 1.7 miles away, which it claims is the second-longest kill on record

• The world's second-longest kill was claimed by the Ukrainian army.

• The footage was posted by the strategic command.

• The Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest building.

The world's second-longest kill shot is said to have been made by the Ukrainian army.

The video of the apparent hit on the occupier was shared by the strategic command of the country.

It would be similar to hitting a target in the middle of New York's Central Park. The Burj Khalifas are the world's tallest building.

The footage shows a figure identified as the occupier by the armed forces of Ukraine. There appears to be a person walking outside.

At which point the scope's white crosshairs settle over the person, the individual walks a few feet before coming to a standstill. The figure falls to the ground.

Insider couldn't verify the facts about the footage offered by the Ukrainian army.

There is no universally verified record of the longest shot, but the world's longest hit is usually attributed to a Canadian soldier.

The Ukrainian army gave a nod to Craig Harrison, a British ex-sniper who had held the record for second-longest shot.

Another claim to second place is a kill by an unnamed member of Australia's second special forces unit in 2012.

Business Insider has an article on it.
