In 2025, an improved Chukavin sniper rifle (SVCh) will be supplied to the Russian troops. The developers will improve the low-noise firing device and make the rifle ergonomic, said designer Andrey Chukavin.
We have received a number of proposals, we are working on them and plan to implement them next year.
Currently, the designers are working to reduce the complexity of production.
It is worth mentioning that the first serial batch of SVCh was sent to the troops in 2023.
