Information about the work of a Ukrainian sniper who eliminated two Russian occupiers from 4,000 meters in the Bakhmut direction has been confirmed. The commander of the sniper platoon "Ghosts of Bakhmut" of the Separate Presidential Brigade named after Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, Oleksandr "Pryvyd", spoke about the event in a comment on the Ukrinform YouTube channel.
"It was our group of 'ghosts', which are now a little more numerous than before, significantly more numerous, that set this record," he said.
At the same time, the sniper platoon commander noted that his unit regularly makes accurate shots at such long distances. He calls this the result of the work of not one sniper, but an entire group.
"This is not an isolated case - there are constant hits at distances up to five kilometers. We are currently working as part of a group, this is not the work of one person, but of a group. The group includes people who directly fire shots, who are engaged in corrections, who work with artificial intelligence, who do all the calculations, and people who fly and film and correct all this," explained Oleksandr "Pryvyd".
He also added that the Snipex Alligator sniper rifle, from which the shot was fired, has ample potential for setting range records. However, without technical improvements to the weapon, such records are impossible.
"That is, using the Alligator rifle as an example, I would recommend that the manufacturer focus on these improvements, contact us, and we will tell you what the point is. With certain improvements, the rifle can operate up to five kilometers ," said Oleksandr "Pryvyd."
Earlier, the Telegram channel "BUTUSOV PLUS" reported that on August 14, 2025, a Ukrainian sniper from the "Pryvyd" unit updated the world record by eliminating two Russian soldiers from a distance of 4,000 meters.
