  • Ukraine claimed in November that one of its snipers killed a Russian soldier 1.68 miles away.
  • That could make it the second-longest sniper kill of all time.
  • There's no universally verified list of the longest-ever kills, but here are some of the contenders.

In November 2022, Ukraine claimed one of its snipers shot a Russian soldier from around 1.68 miles away, which could make it the second-longest sniper kill of all time. 

There is no verified list of the longest sniper kills, perhaps not surprising given the circumstances in which they take place. It is possible that kills have taken place which should be on this list but were never reported publicly.
