Jaytreeman,

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.

DrBob,

9.8 m/s^2

So closer to 157 meters.

Jaytreeman,

Which amplifies the point. Skill that looks almost like luck

Ulara,

From the video of the shot, the delay seems even slightly bigger. Yes, this sniper must be good at math.

ladicius,

What would be the flight time of the bullet on that distance?

1nk,

You can watch the flight on https://kbin.social/m/ukraine@sopuli.xyz/t/637970/An-SSU-sniper-reportedly-set-a-new-world-record-at , a good few seconds before you see it hit.

ladicius,

I took the time - 10 seconds 😳 Wow.

Thanks for the link!

1nk,

Read the article, Ukrainian rifle nicknamed "Lord of the Horizon". Yeah no shit 🙀
