The SVD (СВД; Russian: снайперская винтовка Драгунова, romanized: snayperskaya vintovka Dragunova, lit. 'Dragunov sniper rifle'), GRAU index 6V1, [2] is a semi-automatic designated marksman rifle/sniper rifle [3] chambered in the 7.62×54mmR cartridge, developed in the Soviet Union.
It was developed through "burglar" (Breaker) research and development program, along with 7.62 mm SV-98 sniper and 12.7 mm ASVK anti-materiel rifles. The purpose of SVDK is to deal with targets which are too hard for standard 7.62×54mmR sniper rifles like SV-98 or SVD , such as assault troops in heavy body armor or enemy snipers behind cover.
