日前，驻阿富汗英军狙击手克里斯托弗·莱伊诺兹用步枪精确射杀了一名远在1853米之外的塔利班大佬，创下一项驻阿英军“最远射杀纪录”。军事专家认为成功的几率只有“百万分之一”那么渺小，简直是个奇迹。

热门电视剧《我的兄弟叫顺溜》里的男主角顺溜是个神枪手，现年25岁的驻阿富汗英军狙击手克里斯托弗·莱伊诺兹跟顺溜一样是一名枪法如神的狙击手，让人难以想象的是，日前他竟然用步枪精确射杀了一名远在1853米之外的塔利班大佬！据悉，莱伊诺兹创下一项驻阿英军“最远射杀纪录”。

屋顶上苦等了3天3夜

莱伊诺兹来自英国苏格兰地区，是驻阿富汗英军部队“苏格兰高地军团”的一名狙击手。从今年3月前往阿富汗战场之后，枪法如神的他已经射杀了32名阿富汗叛军士兵。更让人难以想象的是，克里斯托弗·莱伊诺兹日前竟然用步枪精确射杀了一名远在1853米之外的塔利班大佬!

据悉,被射杀的这名塔利班大佬绰号“姆拉”,他是当地一名塔利班司令官,自从2001年阿富汗战争爆发以来,“姆拉”策划了多次针对英军和美军部队的袭击行动。为了将“姆拉”除掉,英军部队曾组织了多次刺杀行动,但每次都被“姆拉”狡猾逃脱。近日,当得知“姆拉”即将在阿富汗赫尔曼德省巴巴吉市现身的情报之后,英军立即派出莱伊诺兹等狙击手前往“姆拉”可能出现的地点附近埋伏。

据悉,莱伊诺兹的伏击地点位于巴巴吉市一家商店的屋顶上。“功夫不负有心人”,当莱伊诺兹和弟兄们在屋顶上苦等了3天3夜之后,“姆拉”终于出现在他的视线之中!

击中胸部当场丧命

然而莱伊诺兹很快发现,“姆拉”此时距离他足足有近2公里远,想要准确击中他几乎是“不可能的任务”!因为在射击距离如此之远的情况下,风速和子弹重力都将改变子弹的轨道,哪怕狙击手稍有偏差,就将“差之毫厘,失之千里”,压根无法准确击中目标!

莱伊诺兹称,为了射中目标,他在射击前精确测算了射程、风速和子弹轨迹等各种因素,然后再扣动扳机。子弹在飞行1853米之后,准确击中了塔利班大佬“姆拉”的胸部,令他当场丧命!莱伊诺兹称,“姆拉”中弹后立即就瘫倒在身后同伙的怀中,而那名同伙显然被惊得目瞪口呆,他慌乱地扔下“姆拉”的尸体,并夺路而逃。

15日,莱伊诺兹向记者回忆了当时的精彩瞬间。莱伊诺兹回忆说:“由于巴巴吉市战火不断,我们惟有呆在一个大商场里见机行事,并占据了商场屋顶的一个有利位置观察周围的环境。几分钟后,我们就和敌人开始交火,我们一直注视着远处的山谷,而我突然看到了5名塔利班人员正从山谷中走来。我一下子就认出了其中一人就是塔利班首领‘姆拉’,而他还有一支AK47突击步枪作为武器。我通过望远镜看到,当他对着无线电讲话时,其他人就会照着他所说的去做。”

莱伊诺兹透露,由于莱伊诺兹距大佬“姆拉”是如此之远,以至于他到死前最后一刻都没有察觉有人正朝他射击!莱伊诺兹说:“我得承认,第一发子弹并没有击中‘姆拉’,而是落在了他的身边。但由于我们的距离实在太远,‘姆拉’甚至没有意识到自己已成为射击目标。我们很快将子弹轨迹也进行了计算,并迅速修正了瞄准目标,此时我实际上是瞄准了他身旁一个门道的顶部。随后我果断地开火,子弹瞬间击中了他的胸部。”

成功几率仅“百万分之一”

据悉,莱伊诺兹创下一项阿富汗英军狙击手“最远射杀纪录”,自从他从1853米之外“秒杀” 敌军首领的消息传出后,他立即成为战友和家人心目中的英雄。军事专家也认为,从1853米之外准确击中目标简直是个奇迹,成功的几率只有“百万分之一”那么渺小。莱伊诺兹表示:“我对这一枪感到非常自豪,因为这是阿富汗战场上最长距离的射杀纪录。”

British sniper describes moment he shot Taliban commander... from TWO KILOMETRES away

A British sniper killed a Taliban leader with the longest-ever fatal bullet shot in Afghanistan - from nearly TWO KILOMETRES away.

Corporal Christopher Reynolds, 25, camped on the roof of a shop for three days as he waited for the perfect conditions to shoot the terrorist commander.

He calculated the range, wind and trajectory before pulling the trigger - and the bullet flew 1,853 metres before hitting the target in the chest.

The warlord, known as 'Mula', is thought to be responsible for co-ordinating several attacks against British and American troops since the outbreak of war in 2001.

Cpl Reynolds, of 3 Scots, The Black Watch, who has already killed 32 rebel fighters, has now been credited with the longest kill in Afghanistan at 1.15 miles away.

The incident happened last week during heavy fighting in the town of Babaji in Helmand Province.

Today he told how the Taliban chief slumped into the arms of a stunned colleague after being hit by the 'lead sleeping tablet'.

Cpl Reynolds, a father-of-one, said: 'We were in a bazaar for days in some very heavy fighting and had taken up a position on a shop roof to observe the surrounding area.

'From the first few minutes after we landed, we came into contact with the enemy.

'We were taking fire all the time. We were observing down the valley and I saw a group of five Taliban.

'I identified one straight away as the commander because I watched him through the scope and when he spoke on the radio, the other one would do what he said.

'I saw that he had a weapon, an AK47. We did all the calculations for range, wind speed and all that.

'I have to admit the first round landed next to him. We were so far away that he didn't even realise he was being shot at.

'We changed our aim and when I took into account different factors like the trajectory of the bullet, my gun scope was actually aiming at the top of a doorway.

'I fired and the bullet went off, coming down and hitting him in the chest.

He dropped straight away into the arms of a fighter behind him. The guy just panicked and dropped the leader and ran away.

'He had been given a lead sleeping tablet. I was quite proud of that shot - it is the longest recorded kill in Afghanistan.'  Cpl Reynolds, who has been in Afghanistan since March, was camped with spotter Lance Corporal David Hatton when they noticed Mula walk into range.

In the ensuing battle, an Afghan sniper was taken out by one of Cpl Reynolds' comrades - who fired a state-of-the-art Javelin missile launcher.

L/Cpl Hatton, 20, from Castlemilk, in Glasgow, said: 'We had been in position for three days when he made that shot. I was the spotter on that job and I was giving him the information about the target.

He did a top job that day - but we are all sick about him going on about it and telling us what a great shot he is.'  Cpl Reynolds, of Dalgety Bay in Fife, Scotland, is on his first tour of Afghanistan but has previously served in Iraq.

His wife Becca, 29, who lives in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, with their three-year-old son Joshua yesterday hailed her husband a hero.

She said: 'I was ecstatic when I found out what he had done. I thought it was fantastic, not only for him but for the whole of Black Watch.

'He said he keeps on going on about it and everyone over there is telling him to shut up.

'He is on patrol at the moment but I speak to him about once a week.

'This is his first time in Afghanistan. he has been there since March and has been in Iraq before as well.

'He has got his screwed on and really takes his job seriously. He loves it.'
