A sniper from Ukraine’s security service (SBU) established a new record after hitting a Russian soldier at 3.8 kilometers, local media reported on Nov. 18.
Muzzle velocity of 1000m/s.
The bullet slows, so we’re looking at something like 4 seconds to hit the target.
At that range, that’s a drop of (9.8*4) 40ish meters.
That’s a medium tall building.
9.8 m/s^2
So closer to 157 meters.
Which amplifies the point. Skill that looks almost like luck
From the video of the shot, the delay seems even slightly bigger. Yes, this sniper must be good at math.
