    <waves> Here’s another. Not even American either.

    And yes thank you for saying it’s not that big a deal of a shot if they were using anything remotely decent. Another thread had someone theorising it had to be Russian special forces because of the difficulty of the shot. I mean come on, 200 yards from an elevated platform, clear line of sight, stationary target, clear day no wind. Shooting wise it’s about as easy as it gets.

    The difficulty comes in the fact it’s not a deer hunt - the shooter was probably fearing being seen, aware of the consequences of getting caught, if mentally normal then killing another person is very hard, adrenaline up (makes the hands shake and messes with the head), those are the things that make it hard nothing else.

      You can thank US imperialism making a lot of angry people who are used to killing a human.

        Sure, and that would definitely make it an even easier shot.

        A not particularly hard shot for an amateur a doddle for a professional.
