    Kalashnikov gunmaker to launch production of new sniper rifle in 2020


    The Lebedev handgun is in serial production, according to the developer

    MOSCOW, November 27. /TASS/. The Kalashnikov Group gunmaker plans to launch the production of a new SVCh sniper rifle next year, Group CEO Dmitry Tarasov said on Wednesday.

    "Today it is very important to timely start the production of items. For example, last year, Izhmash [part of the Kalashnikov Group] timely launched the production of AK-12 assault rifles. Next year, this will, indeed, be the SVCh for the 7.62 x 54 mm round while the Lebedev handgun is already in serial production," the Kalashnikov Media quoted him as saying.

    The Chukovin semi-automatic sniper rifle (abbreviated as the SVCh in Russian) has been developed for the 7.62 x 54 mm and 7.62 x 51 mm rounds (the latter is also known as the .308 Win cartridge). In its 7.62 x 54 mm caliber, the SVCh is compatible with the magazines from the SVD (Dragunov sniper rifle).


    The Kalashnikov Group, the maker of the renowned AK-47 assault rifle, is Russia’s major producer of combat automatic and sniper guns, guided artillery shells and a broad range of precision weapons.

    From Twitter user AbraxasSpa:

    "Allegedly Flag of Russia FSB "Alpha" snipers in Syria. Suppressed rifle looks like a LOBAEV Arms DVL-10M "Saboteur" in .40 Lobaev Whisper + thermal scope (Legat?), and a couple of DXL-3 "Longstrike" in .338LM"

    Hypersonic cartridges are under development in Russia


    According to the designer of the SLVK-14S “Dusk” ultra-long-range rifle, Vladislav Lobayev, such a cartridge will not only allow you to accurately hit targets at a distance of over 6 kilometers, but to penetrate the “enemy” armored equipment even from long distances according to the designer of the long-distance rifle SLVK-14S "Twilight" Vladislav Lobaeva, this cartridge will allow you not only to accurately hit targets at a distance of over 6 kilometers, but to penetrate armored vehicles of the "enemy" even from great distances.

    Today in Russia they are developing hypersonic ammo and weapons. This was told by Vladislav Lobaev, the designer of the long range rifle SLVK-14S "Twilight" and the General designer Lobaev Arms.

    According to him, the company, being the designer of ultra-long arms, has now reached a record of their attempts at the absolute physical limit in the sense of external ballistics rifle. Currently, the Americans belongs the record of 5500 meters, and exceed it by only hitting a target at ranges of 6 kilometers. This shot is almost impossible to produce using cartridge based on the same principles.

    "Opportunities offered by such a weapon, absolutely unique.
    They are for a while reset personal protective equipment,
    also there will be no issues of penetration of light armored vehicles even from long distances," said the designer.


    According to Lobaeva, currently the company Lobaev Arms conducts such studies in the initiative order at the expense of own means, but not as fast due to lack of funding.

    "But sooner or later we dalhem, even if in terms of having to
    oppose the Americans in this informal competition," he said
    .

    This is an interesting could have been... in the late 1980s the TKb-145K was developed... it is a bullpup design sniper rifle in 6x49mm calibre.

    It was intended to extend effective range to 1.2km over the 800m effective range of the SVD.

    It was supposed to be compact so it actually folded to reduce its length for use by airborne and armoured forces.

    Very interesting weapon...

    Russian Sniper Rifles - Page 20 Soviet10

    Russian Sniper Rifles - Page 20 Soviet11

    Russian Sniper Rifles - Page 20 Soviet12

    Note this was not an attempt at a universal cartridge... it is intended to replace the 7.62 x 54Rmm round used by machine guns and sniper rifles, but was expected to be used together with the 5.45x39mm calibre rifles and light machine guns.

    In terms of round size it is very similar to the civilian .243 which is a 7.62x51mm NATO round/shell case necked down to a smaller 6mm calibre projectile.

    The Soviet round was designed for very high pressures though and high muzzle velocities too.

    I'm not sure that's the case here. Lobaev is a private company that at one time moved operations to the UAE (thanks to the grass-is-greener syndrome) but failed to succeed in that market. It turns out that many military contracts are won from cronyism, and not simply by performance specs alone, a lesson Lobaev found out the hard way. If they were tied to the leading design bureaus and their bleeding edge scientific developments, MOD would of never allowed them to leave.

    Lobaev was nothing special. While they made good bolt action rifles, majority of the components were foreign (Israel) for whatever reason. Maybe to make it expensive and sound great. In reality, it was a good but very expensive rifle. When they moved production to UAE, someone else stepped up in Russia - Orsis. Which makes the T-5000 rifle. The said rifle is about the same quality as the Lobaev rifles while being fully inhouse and using mostly domestic components (or all). And it was cheaper too. It became a rather popular rifle not only in Russia but abroad as well with Vietnam, Iraq and others using the rifle.

    I am not going to counter-argue about Lobaev, but the flurry of hypersonic munitions is rather peculiar.

    I notice on their official export website ( http://roe.ru/eng/catalog/Hunting%20and%20sport%20weapons/ ) they have a section for hunting and sporting weapons which seems to consist of Orsis products in a wide range of interesting looking bolt action rifles.


    ...it taunts me of course because it has 5.6 x 39mm ammo for sale there too:

    http://roe.ru/eng/catalog/Hunting%20and%20sport%20weapons/Munitions_GSO/5.6%20%D1%85%2039%20hunting%20cartridge/

    I suspect hypersonic powered projectiles for rifles is an area that would not be allowed for export or public sale for a while.

    Dont know if this was posted here before but I am assuming that the sniper rifle with hypersonic speeds being the successor of the Sumrak is called the DXL-5.

    https://www.rbth.com/science-and-tech/332377-russia-creates-7km-range-sniper-rifle

    It is set to be the longest-range special forces weapon in the world firing hypersonic bullets, and will serve all branches of the military.
    A couple of hours by car from Moscow lies the little town of Tarusa, where a small one-storey building displays a sign reading Lobaev Arms. At first glance, it seems unremarkable, but behind its doors is a factory that manufactures some of the most powerful sniper rifles in the world.

    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.

    What we know about the DXL-5
    The DXL-5 is an ideological and technological advancement of the SVLK-14S rifle, which was nicknamed the Sumrak (Twilight) due to its ghoulish power.

    “The Sumrak is custom-made, like a Ferrari or Porsche, for connoisseurs of high-precision guns and professional shooters who compete at long range,” Yuri Sinichkin, chief engineer of Lobaev Arms, told Russia Beyond.

    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).

    This is needed because a bullet flying at 900 m/s arrives at the target after eight seconds, giving the enemy time to escape and make a cup of coffee. Therefore, to ensure the coffee never gets drunk, the new high-precision rifle needs ammunition that flies at no less than 1.5 km/s.

    “Such a projectile can pierce 3cm-thick metal. Imagine what would happen if it hit a human being? No body armor would help,” noted the engineer.

    The future cartridge is intended to destroy an enemy wearing sixth-class protection body armor (the most resistant). Such armor can be broached only by a WWII anti-tank rifle (such as the 14.5mm Simonov anti-tank semiautomatic) or something similar in terms of power, not range or accuracy.

    The DXL-5 set to break the world record is being developed as a one-off collector’s item, similar to a luxury car. The standard model will also operate at ultra-long distances of approximately 5 km.

    “Training operatives to take out terrorists at a range of 2-2.5 km will require at least 2-3 years. Our rifle will turn the long-range elimination of enemies into a routine task, and simplify it in the extreme. That was indeed the purpose: to make professional operations more efficient and easier,” added Lobaev.

    Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, he explains, factory trials of the new DXL-5 are being moved from the fall to winter 2020. As soon as the new rifle proves its effectiveness and technical capabilities, a special commission will be invited to the trials to witness the world record attempt.

    At the same time, Lobaev Arms’ developments are not classified as top-secret and, unlike the AK-12, can be purchased individually and put into service with any unit. As for what the army version of the DXL-5 will look like, and how much it will cost for foreign buyers, all will become clear in early 2021 following technical and military tests.

    Large numbers of gun owners have never shot an animal... there are plenty of guys who just shoot targets... this would be interesting for long range shooting.

    Apparently he is also tired of taking its guts out and cutting it into pieces.

    Sure 15 or 20 23mm HE rounds should do all of the above.

    I suppose I am glad no one mentioned tourist season is coming and some of them are rather big...

    As long as the gun does not go boom why not own a tank?

    Most are just very very heavy tractors anyway... and it makes air shows fun...

    I personally would like a 2S7 Pion...

    A laser neutralizer for sniper optics "SOSNA-N" has been created in Russia
    The modified SOSNA-N detection system will be able to neutralize snipers.
    Russian Sniper Rifles - Page 20 RIAN_snajper_Vitalij_Timkiv_d_850

    Kazan holding "Shvabe" (part of the state corporation Rostec) has presented a neutralizer for sniper and observation optics "SOSNA-N" on the website. It could also be seen at the Army 2020 forum.

    It is an improved version of the previous development "SOSNA". The device, scanning the terrain with a narrowly directed infrared laser beam, can detect an optical device at a distance of up to 2500 meters.

    The new SOSNA-N system is also capable of creating visual interference with laser radiation. For example, to interfere with the work of enemy snipers, spotters, gunners of anti-tank missile systems.

    The neutralizer can be used not only for military purposes, but also to ensure the safety of important objects and persons.

    MOSCOW, October 21. /TASS/. Russia’s state arms seller Rosoboronexport (part of the state hi-tech corporation Rostec) presented a DVL-10M3 new multi-caliber sniper rifle developed by Lobaev Arms at the Interpolitex-2020 international security exhibition on Wednesday.

    The new sniper rifle is more compact in its dimensions compared to the guns earlier developed by Lobaev Arms, Rosoboronexport Senior Expert Alexander Slobodyanyuk said in the company’s video presentation on the YouTube channel.

    "The DVL-10M3 rifle’s weight has been reduced to 4.5 kg while it features a barrel length of 500mm. The gun’s effective firing range is up to 1 km," the senior expert said.

    The new sniper rifle demonstrates a high accuracy of fire, he stressed.

    "It [the DVL-10M3] is characterized by a very good accuracy of fire that does not exceed 0.38 minute of arc," the Rosoboronexport senior expert added.

    The DVL-10M3 new sniper rifle can be used together with a silencer, he added.

    Barrels of various calibers can be mounted on the sniper rifle: 7.62x51mm (.308 Winchester), 6.5x47mm Lapua and 6.7mm Federal.

    The 24th Interpolitex-2020 international homeland security exhibition is running at the VDNH All-Russian Exhibition Center in Moscow on October 20-23 (pavilion No. 57).

    Development of sniper rifles within the framework of the ROC "Ugolyok"


    As the Russian weapons magazine "Kalashnikov" reports in the material of Mikhail Delyagin "When will the" Ugolyok "flare up?" , in 2021, trials of sniper rifles developed as part of the Ugolyok ROC will begin. Sniper semi-automatic microwave ovens of the Kalashnikov concern chambered for 7.62x51 mm (in the foreground) and 8.6x70 mm (ROC "Ugolyok") (c) Mikhail Degtyarev / www.kalashnikov.ru

    The Ugolyok development work carried out in the interests of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation provides for the development of self-loading sniper rifles in calibers 7.62 × 51 (.308 Win.) And 8.6 × 70 (.338 Lapua Magnum). New rifles from the ROC "Ugolyok" are to be replaced in the SVD troops of all modifications.

    Of course, taking into account the world experience and emerging trends, the calibers chosen by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation look like an attempt to catch up with yesterday, but, in the event of a successful completion of the work, nothing should prevent the adaptation of ready-made platforms for other, more promising ammunition, although this is due to obvious additional financial and time costs.

    Concern “Kalashnikov”, TsNIITOCHMASH and TsKIB SOO work at the same time on ROC “Ugolyok”.

    The concern's rifles are built on the same base (microwave). Work on the 7.62-mm rifle in Izhevsk is being actively pursued, but some time will have to pass before all problems are fully resolved, which is also demonstrated by the already operating civilian versions of the microwave.

    As for the 8.6-mm sample, the successful scaling of the still crude microwave platform for such a powerful cartridge at this stage seems unlikely, while the Tula OTs-129 system looks much better in this regard, since it initially has a more rigid architecture without dubious design -technological solutions.

    TSNIITOCHMASH does not disclose details about its rifles. It is only known that Klimovsk is working on two rifles of different designs and, thus, at the final stage of the ROC "Ugolyok" testing of six rifles (three of each of the calibers 7.62 × 51 and 8.6 × 70) of four types should begin: -129, microwave and two Klimovsk designs.

    Let me remind you that a feature of the Ugolyok ROC is the absolute "Russification" of the complexes being developed, which provides for a complete rejection of foreign materials, components and technologies in relation to weapons, ammunition and sighting systems.
