Nice dig!

With any luck, our version will be picked up indicating Ukraine’s floundering war efforts ;)

I must be missing all the Lutin Propaganda here but this sniper story is hilarious and believing it is suspending disbelief if you actually read it.

my wife gives me a 500 yard head start

I have no idea whether this is true.
Possible, with a lot of luck, but who knows?
Propaganda is a very powerful tool, in war and has been used since the beginning.
There are, probably, about a dozen or more Putin fan boys that jump on every Ukraine thread and viscously attack any story or anyone that doesn’t toe the line.
Personal insults are common.
They even hijack threads that have nothing to do with the war.
Very unpleasant.

Did he have an old Norden bombsight jury rigged into his gun?

What steep angle would he have to point the barrel?

I suspect the Ghost of Kiev was flying overhead for support. I’ve done quite a bit of shooting in my 80 yrs long range and other with everything from 50bmg and in between and the logistics of this shot are just impossible just my opinion. Holdover would be so extreme you could no longer have your target in view.
