They are human hunters. For them, killing is an ordinary thing … Here are the 10 best snipers in history:
Simo Häyhä- White death so called
It has 705 accepted hits, and the actual number is thought to be much higher. First a sniper, then a group of snipers for this sniper, who killed so many people in less than 100 days in the Finnish-Russian war, scared the soldiers who had attracted the attention of the Russians, and when he was not enough, they sent a squadron of soldiers. This clever soldier, dressed all in white and chewing snow so that his breath would not be evident in the snow, continued to be the fearful dream of the Russians, until the shrapnel piece broke his jaw. Simo, who was considered certain to die, woke up in the hospital three months later on the day peace was declared.
Carlos Norman Hathcock II
In addition to killing 93 people, he became famous and made this shot famous by shooting the sniper on the opposite side, which we see in all movies, through his binoculars. Another important achievement is that it can crawl 2 km for 3 days and kill a Vietnamese general on a death mission.
Adelbert F. Waldron
In addition to being the most killed American sniper with 109 accepted hits, his rate of finding the target is near spectacular. Especially his hits to moving targets or when he was on a moving object (car, boat) made him a legend.
Francis Pegahmagabow
In addition to killing 378 people, this Ojibwa warrior was a great Canadian camouflage expert and scout. He successfully carried out the tasks that madmen could do, such as transmitting important messages under heavy fire, passing to the enemy side when the ammunition was low, and completed the battle with many medals.
Lyudmila Pavlichenko
In 1941, when the Nazis occupied the Soviets, Lyudmila, who voluntarily joined the army, killed 309 people on the Odesa and Sevastopol fronts, 37 of which were German snipers. It is shown as the best of 2000 female snipers in the Soviet army during World War II.
Vasily Zaytsev
Probably the best-known sniper thanks to the movie Enemy At the Gates, Zaytsev was actually a clerk in the Red Army. When the battle of Stalingrad broke out, he volunteered to go to the front. There are 242 finalized kill. The total number of people killed by the snipers he trained is thought to be over 3000.
Rob Furlong
In an operation against al-Qaeda, the farthest hit with 2,430 meters belongs to him. A record holder in this area, Rob Furlong fired 3 shots in a few seconds, missed the first one, shot the terrorist in the chest in the second,in the third shot he shot the terrorist that realized he was under atack from his chest.
Charles ‘Chuck’ Mawhinney
He made 103 “recorded deaths” in Vietnam. Chuck, a Marine, also maintains his title as the best marine sniper. Adding his fires, which are difficult to search and verify, it is thought that in just 13 months, Chuck made more than 300 deaths.
Sgt. Grace
At the beginning of the war, General John Sedgwick responded to the demands of the men next to him to take cover, saying that “They cannot shot even a elephant at this distance” Seconds after this remark,he was shot under his left eye by Sgt. Grage. The distance was 1000 yards, which was a miracle at the time.
Thomas Plunkett
In 1809, while the rifles were not yet developed and the soldiers were trained to hit targets only 50 meters, Irish Thomas Plunkett, who shot the French General from 600 meters in battle, also shot the assistant of general who came to the treatment so that his friends would not think that this was a chance. Thomas Plunkett, the first sniper in history, successfully fired 12 times the distance from the target he was trained on, twice in a row.
