SVD (Sniper rifle Dragunova)In 1958 GRAU (the Main thing Is rocket-áÓÔ¿½ÑÓ¿®ß¬«Ñ Management) Joint Staff SA has declared competition on creation of an autoloading sniper rifle for the Soviet Army. Competition has won the collective headed by E.Dragunovym, and in 1963 SVD (Sniper rifle Dragunova) it has been accepted on arms СА. Specially for SVD the "sniper" cartridge with a bullet with the steel core has been created, however the rifle can use the nomenclature of domestic cartridges 7.62х54мм.Distinctive SVD - a butt of the "skeletal" design, "inherited" from АК a box and an arrangement of a safety lock. As a matter of fact SVD is not a "traditional" sniper rifle - its basic purpose - to increase range of effective fire of motor-shooting branch up to 600м, to provide necessary shooting support (to suppress a point, etc.) Unlike overwhelming majority of sniper rifles of the world, SVD the bayonet-knife is completed. During the Afghani campaign there is a necessity for creation of "harmonious" updating SVD for motor-infantry and a landing and as a result Драагунов creates variant SVD, with truncated up to 590mm a trunk, the strong metal butt developing on the right party, and new, truncated. Technically СВД represents a semiautomatic device with a short course not connected rigidly with a frame of the gas piston (for reduction of weight of mobile parts of automatics). Lock-out of a trunk - turn of a shutter. USM noncontrollable. All variants of a rifle are equipped by the fixed open aim adaptations in the form of a front sight in and the adjustable sight located on, before a cover boxes. The arm for an optical sight fastens to ствольной to a box at the left. Besides the basic optical sight on SVD can be established night sights NSPU-3 or NSPUM.SVD It was widely used practically in all fighting operations, the Soviet and Russian armies from the moment of its acceptance on arms, and has proved to be sample of a small arms exclusively reliable and convenient in circulation. It is necessary to note, that in armies of some countries of NATO also there is a concept of " the weapon of support of the raised accuracy of shooting ". So, in armies of Germany and some other countries as "equivalent" SVD autoloading rifle G3A3/SG is used, in Sea Infantry of the USA are accepted on arms DMR - Designated Marksman rifles, representing or simply rifle М16А2 with an optical sight, or autoloading rifle SR-25 under a cartridge 7.62mm NATO. |
