The legendary 7.62-mm Dragunov sniper rifles (SVD) are very popular in the USA. Specimens produced during the Soviet era can cost up to $25,000.
Given the significant demand, Hungary organized the assembly of SVDs specifically for deliveries overseas several years ago, costing buyers eight thousand dollars apiece. A purely American SVD is expected to cost 4 thousand dollars.
It is reported that the manufacturer had problems with the selection of steel - it was not possible to find one similar to the Soviet one, and it was decided to use grade 4140. The issue with the metal coating has also not been resolved. There are also differences in the design of the flame arrester, it has yet to be made close to the original.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Su-57 performed the famous Pugachev's Cobra and spin barrel: the Russian fighter "outdanced" the American F-35 in the skies of India.
