980 m/s muzzle velocity on that thing, so that's at least 4 seconds of gravity and wind interference accounted for in the aim. Bordering on the supernatural.
The round was guided in by a drone. I think these bullets are not your grandpa's ammo.
I don't think the round itself was guided, rather the sniper was guided by visuals and data from the drone. Even more impressive if it was a good ol' analog shot apart from help where to point it.
According to the article it was a "14.5 mm Aligator sniper rifle"

Which just takes big ass bullets yeah
guided by artificial intelligence working in tandem with a drone reconnaissance complex
Im no gun guy, but i would assume it was probably nothing "AI" related (as usual when people use the term AI) and just a smart algorithm that takes in all the parameters gathered by the drone and spotter and calculates the correct parameters to use for the operator.
Arguably, a smart algorithm that determines parameters is some form of AI, just not an LLM, image generator or other machine learning model.
The term AI is so worthless to begin with because it has no real definition. I would personally say that its "anything involving machine learning" but that defintion doesnt actually have anything to do with being "artificially intelligent" so it also makes no sense.
"Anything involving machine learning" also has nothing to do with "classical AI," which was basically just gigantic piles of if statements.
It does have a dictionary entry though, e.g. "the branch of computer science that deal with writing computer programs that can solve problems creativelyβ, and I would argue that this definition fits.
The definition "something that lets a computer perform tasks that are thought to require intelligence" depends on the person, and whether they think something required a form of intelligence. Accounting for all variables over a large distance so you hit your target seems like it requires a reasonable amount of intelligence to me.
It is a extremely generic term though, almost like using 'software package'. It is more often used as a buzzword than something that provides significant clarification about how it works.
And, took out 2 invaders with 1 shot.
Slava Ukraini!
