1.5km vs 1.5 and 2.1Miles ... PA is doing good ... its all equipment , practice and terrain .
A Canadian sniper breaks the record for the longest confirmed kill shot - but how?
FROM THE TOPICLIFE
23 Jun 2017

A Canadian special forces sniper has broken the world record for the longest confirmed kill shot.
The soldier shot an IS militant dead from 3,540 metres, which is just over two miles away, in Iraq last month.
The previous record was held by British sniper Craig Harrison, who killed a Taliban fighter in 2009 in Afghanistan from 2,475 metres away (1.5 miles).
The Canadian Armed Forces now holds three of the top five positions for longest confirmed kill shots.
But how do you kill an enemy soldier from more than two miles away?
You have to have the right equipment
The unnamed soldier who killed the IS militant used a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle, from an elevated position.
Its manufacturer says its effective firing range is 1,800 metres, around half the distance the Canadian sniper managed.

The bullet took 10 seconds to reach its target and travelled at 792mph, which is faster than a commercial jet like a Boeing 747.
The same weapon is used by US Navy Seals (as the MK 15) and French Navy commandoes as well as special forces in Turkey, Georgia, South Africa, Jordan, Israel and the Philippines.

The British army uses the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series of sniper rifles as its standard issue, as do the German and Irish armies.
The US Marine Corps uses the M40.
A sniper's partner, or spotter, is essential to their success
A spotter gives the sniper information about the location of a target, ground conditions and any other information needed by the sniper.
They use binoculars to pick their target, with the soldier using a scope on top of his rifle to lock on to the enemy.
Because they're sometimes closer to the fighting, they carry their own weapons and can hide for hours waiting to spot the enemy.

If a shot misses the spotter can tell the sniper to quickly reload, readjust their aim and fire or abandon the mission.
The spotter can also look out for the vapour trail left by high velocity, long-range rounds and help to carry heavy kit.
Wind speed and other weather conditions are key to a clean shot
Many teams use the most experienced sniper to act as the spotter.
So they'll gauge wind speeds, distances, terrain, heat and anything else that may affect a shot with the sniper.

Then it's up to the sniper to get in the zone, get their breathing under control, dial in the distance and think about the ballistics of the round, listen to the spotter's advice on weather conditions and then fire.
The Canadian special forces sniper who broke the longest kill shot record had to take the curve of the earth into consideration because it was so far away.
The soldier would have also had to account for the drop of the bullet as he was firing from the top, or near the top, of a building.

ohhh really ? rather then getting personal can you check militaries mark targets even double then this range
.even is sub range by pak army own sniper ranges like

RPA RANGE MASTER - 2000 meters
ssg-69 3700 meters
AIAW 3943 meters
M82 1800 METERS


they even never used full range of rifles they were using in hands . so yes we are not wah wah slave minds . they did nothing but a simple practice . wake me up when they hit target beyond 3000 meters .

I think this is 1 mile range shot in clear weather , plus nominal wind pressure. So, its kinda ideal practice condition. But, not intense terrain. Where conditions are totally unfavorable for solder.

One Mile Sniper Kill Shot

From the History Channel - .50 cal sniper, 1 mile kill shot. Skill to kill. Steve Reichert appears on the History Channel's sniper special where he tells his story about the Iraq War.

yea, and I guess you can walk on the range and bhhham. get 8 mile shots!! like I said, its not everyone's forte! as other people have explained the complexities in achieving the 'advertised' ranges accurately is something else!

Wasnt there a eight km kill by a PA sniper in WOT operations using Arctic International rifle with Lipua rounds? @Irfan Baloch

Any half Moa rifle should be able to provide the necessary capability
