The mega sniper rifle Ukrainian forces are using against Putin's soldiers (which is bigger than some of the marksmen pulling the trigger!)
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Ukrainian-made Snipex Alligator is a fearsome 6ft 5in, 55lb sniper rifle

  • Its rounds can penetrate armour that is half-an-inch thick from a mile away

  • Kyiv's troops are using the weapon in their defence of Ukraine against Russia

  • It is one of many weapons giving Ukrainian troops an advantage over Putin's
