Canadian special forces sniper kills an ISIS fighter from TWO MILES away in the longest confirmed kill shot in history

The feat of precision smashes the previous record set by Briton Craig Harrison, who dispatched a Taliban soldier some 1.54 miles away. 

Set in 2009 with a 338 Lapua Magnum, he fired it from a height of 8,120 feet. 

The kill was verified by a video, a source said, saying: “This is an incredible feat. It is a world record that might never be equalled.”

The third longest-record stands at 1.51 miles, and was set by another Canadian, Corporal Rob Furlong. 
He shot an Afghani insurgent from a height of 7,972 feet during Operation Anaconda in 2002. 

Canadian special forces are renowned throughout the world, and their snipers are among the best of the best. 

The US snipers' kill record is 1.42 miles, and was set by Bryan Kremer in 2004. 
He took out an Iraqi insurgent from 7,546 feet with his Barrett M82A1 rifle. 

Last month British SAS sniper shot dead an ISIS fighter from 1.50 miles away, from a height of 7,920 feet.
It took three seconds to reach its target. 

 He used a CheyTac M200 Intervention gun, regarded as the most powerful in the world, and has a working range of up to 9,842 feet and holds the record for the world's longest shot.
