This footage, provided by the Ukrainian Army’s 116th Brigade, shows a sniper from the Brigade’s “Khorne Group” engaging two Russian soldiers via thermal scope. Viewer discretion is advised.

The first Russian soldier goes down with relative ease, but it’s worth noting how close, and how oblivious, the second one is to the first’s fate. The Ukrainian sniper is presumably using a UAR-10, a home-grown cousin of the ubiquitous AR-10 platform, and it takes him a few tries to hit the second soldier. However, the soldier’s luck runs out and he is brought down.

The name “Khorne” comes from the Warhammer series of games and intellectual properties, and is the name of the fictional god of blood and battle.
