Watch out, Russia creates new 7km-range sniper rifle

Here, in early June 2020, production began on the world's first sniper rifle able to hit targets at a distance of 6-7 km (the current record of 4.217 km also belongs to the Lobaev Arms company with its SVLK-14 Sumrak rifle). The development, designated DXL-5, will be the only weapon allowing operatives to destroy an enemy beyond the horizon line of a standing shooter. The developer, Vlad Lobaev, explains that from the vantage point of a hillock or the second or third floor of an apartment building (an elevation of roughly 10 m), the field of vision is greater than 11 km. The higher the viewpoint, naturally, the farther the horizon line.
quote:
The Sumrak was built for .408 CheyTac cartridges (10.3x77 mm), which exit the barrel at a speed of over 900 m/s. Moreover, a new type of powder-charge ammunition is being developed for the DXL-5, which will enable the bullet to fly at five or more times the speed of sound (greater than 1,500 m/s).

.408 is crazy loud
Them commies are using a US round for their rifles.
About twice the muzzle energy as .338 lapua
They will go for miles and miles but you cant see that far so whats the point

Seems to me, the only way it would be useful at that distance, is with a person forward, or a drone who can actually identify the target, and train an infa-red beam on him, and an electronic aiming set-up on the rifle. The sniper would just be a trigger puller, really, you wouldn't even need him. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's a long damn distance. That's so far, that by the time the round actually got there, the person might take a few steps. Now a good thing about that electronic aiming set-up, the guy who is forward painting the target, wouldn't be giving himself away by taking the shot. He might go undetected.

I see this a Cold War look fodder. Russia needs this kinda thing to build national pride.

What is the general weight range of that round?
Posted on 7/2/20 at 4:58 am to BarberitosDawg
It can take down their fancy rocket at that speed.

Anyone who reads or posts in the Q thread is for sure on a NSA/FBI/Google database

400 grain is stuff that you can buy
But no one in their right mind would ever even bother with this shite
It costs more than 10 dollars per round
Makes shooting 50 BMG sound economical

meh...if standoff is the name of the game I'd rather have one of those little drone ATVs with weapons on it.
it's the future.

The human to make that shot has yet to be born.

In mid-2017 it was reported that an unnamed Canadian special forces operator, based in Iraq, had set a new record of 3,540 m (3,871 yd), beating the record previously held by an Australian sniper (also unnamed) at 2,815 m (3,079 yd).
How many kilos are those?

Those are for confirmed kills btw not just hitting a target.
