British Sniper Takes Out Two ISIS Bombers With One Shot, Saving Hundreds Of Lives
2016-06-21
[DAILYCALLER] A British Special Air Service (SAS) sniper took out two Islamic State bombers with a single shot, saving hundreds of lives in the process.

The SAS sniper took his shot from just over half a mile away, killing the terrorist driver in a split second.

But the story doesn’t end there. The bullet passed through the driver’s head and also hit his accomplice in the neck — an incredible feat, given these two targets were moving. The shot was one of the best in SAS history, according to an SAS source who spoke with the Daily Star Sunday.

“If the sniper had missed a lot of people would have lost their lives,” the SAS source said.

I'm waiting to read about such a sniper delivering a beacon 'package', to the vehicle, which then requests a kinetic download from the Overwatch drone.
