First introduced in 2017, the SVCh has quickly become one of the most advanced sniper rifles in the world. Designed to replace the legendary Dragunov SVD, the SVCh offers significant improvements in accuracy, reliability and adaptability. Weighing 4.8 kg, with an overall length of 1,170 mm and chambering 7.62x54 mm ammunition, the SVCh offers high effective range and impressive accuracy.

A notable highlight of the SVCh is its compatibility with a wide range of sights, both domestic and foreign. This allows shooters to customize the weapon to suit specific missions and environmental conditions. In addition, the gas-operated automatic system with a short-stroke piston and a three-position rotary gas regulator helps the SVCh operate stably and reliably in all weather and terrain conditions.

According to Kalashnikov, the SVCh has been thoroughly tested and proven highly effective in real battlefield conditions. The weapon was actively deployed in the Russia-Ukraine war and received positive reviews from users.

"The SVCh not only improves ergonomics and shooting accuracy, but is also compatible with sighting systems from both Russian and foreign manufacturers. We believe that the SVCh will be an important weapon in enhancing combat capabilities , " said Alan Lushnikov, General Director of Kalashnikov Concern JSC.

The delivery of the SVCh sniper rifle to the Russian Army demonstrates Russia's commitment to modernizing its armed forces and maintaining its position as a leading military power in the world. With its superior features, the SVCh promises to become a new symbol of the Russian defense industry.
