Towards the end of his tour of duty in the Balkans, Craig Harrison picked up a sniper rifle for the first time. Firing the Dragunov SVD Soviet sniper rifle down range, he hit a tree trunk and practically split it in half. From that moment on he knew that for the remainder of his military career, a powerful and deadly sniper rifle would be his weapon of choice.
What he didn’t know was that years later while serving in Afghanistan, he would make not one, but two of the most astonishing sniper shots ever witnessed, but not with this gun though. This is the story of Craig Harrison’s remarkable 2,475 metre or 2,707 yards double kill.

Craig Harrison is a former Corporal of Horse in the Blues and Royals, a cavalry regiment of the British Army, who from 2009 to 2017 held the record for the longest confirmed sniper kill in combat, at a range of 2,475 m. Harrison is most famous for his military service in Afghanistan as a sniper, but he also served in the British army in Iraq and the Balkans.

@MrPaxio 4 ай бұрын

okay?

@neilarcher2551 4 ай бұрын

For those wondering his rank is essentially that of sergeant in any other unit but some old former cavalry units use Corporal of Horse instead. As such units used to be recruited from gentry it was considered beneath them to hold a rank whose name was derived from a servant to a knight.

Let's not forget the Canadian sniper who held either the world record or second place volunteered for the Ukrainian International Legion and fought for something like six to twelve months. So many veterans in Western countries have such great character - they've already done served their country honorably and yet when they see a nation and it's people in need they go again into harm's way. If I die having lived a life with half as much dignity, professionalism and care for others as vets who go to Ukraine, I'll be happy.
