The SVD (Снайперская винтовка Драгунова) Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova, lit. “Dragunov sniper rifle”) is a semi-automatic sniper rifle chambered in 7.62×54mmR and developed in the Soviet Union.
It was selected as the winner of a contest that included three competing designs (Simonov e Konstantinov). Extensive testing of the rifles was done in variable environmental conditions till acceptance into service in 1963. At the same time an initial pre-production batch of 200 rifles was assembled, and from 1964 serial production was carried out at Izhmash.

Since then, the SVD has become the standard squad support weapon of several countries, including those of the former Warsaw Pact, among them Poland (since 1966) where it’s called the SWD. Licensed production of the rifle was established in China (Type 79 and Type 85) and Iran (as a direct copy of the Chinese Type-79).
