The projectile took nearly 10 seconds to reach its target, and the sniper team had to account for wind, bullet drop, and even the Earth\u2019s curvature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an incredible feat. It is a world record that might never be equaled,\u201d a military source told the Globe.<\/p>\n<p>The shot was made as part of Canada\u2019s efforts to aid Iraqi security forces in their campaign against ISIS. While Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suspended airstrikes against ISIS in 2016, he also announced plans to triple the number of special forces on the ground, as well as increase the number of Canadian Armed Forces members who are tasked with training and assisting local forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe shot in question actually disrupted a Daesh [so-called Islamic State] attack on Iraqi security forces,\u201d a military source told the Globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of dropping a bomb that could potentially kill civilians in the area, it is a very precise application of force and because it was so far away, the bad guys didn&#8217;t have a clue what was happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The kill was independently verified by video camera and other data, according to the Globe.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75427\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Canadian-sniper-image-1.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"canadian-sniper-sets-world-record-2-mile-kill-shot-isis-forces\" title=\"Canadian Sniper Sets World Record with 2-Mile Kill Shot on ISIS Forces\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75427\" title=\"Canadian Sniper Sets World Record with 2-Mile Kill Shot on ISIS Forces\" class=\"wp-image-75427 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Canadian-sniper-image-1.png\" alt=\"Canadian Sniper Sets World Record with 2-Mile Kill Shot on ISIS Forces\" width=\"1000\" height=\"886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Canadian-sniper-image-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Canadian-sniper-image-1-150x133.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Canadian-sniper-image-1-339x300.png 339w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Canadian-sniper-image-1-768x680.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-75427\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our neighbors to the North produce some good shooters!
