"The Kremlin strongman" at least he's not a highlander.
That vid was absolute crap. Notice how scared they are to be normal around him....so those dudes sighted the weapon and weird old vampire Vlad waltz in and pretends to be a sniper.
In Russia you don't shoot gun. Gun shoot you!
Best President ever
The record for the longest sniper shot is 3,540 meters, a few times further than the shots Putin reportedly took with that Kalashnikov. I'd say they dialed it back.
