A Ukrainian sniper using a Horizon's Lord rifle has been credited with making the world's longest sniper kill - with the secret to its long-range success lying in the type of ammunition that was used.

The Ukrainian-made Volodar Obriyu (Horizon's Lord) is an anti-materiel rifle (AMR) which is capable of making long-range shots and can be particularly effective when coupled with the right ammunition.

According to Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) sources, the sniper killed a Russian soldier 3,800 metres away - 2.36 miles - and a video has been circulating showing the incident.
