The SVD / Dragunov video took us a long time to complete. The Dragunov is perhaps the most recognizable sniper / dmr out there. I hope you enjoy this video and we do a dive on the SVD and see if we are Soviet Sniper material.

I think that's just a misunderstanding of the Soviet sniper doctrine compared to other countries' sniper doctrine. Soviets wanted a mobile sniper who would move with their squad or platoon and provide longer range fire from a reasonably close distance (just outside the enemy's ability to engage them with regular infantry weapons); while other countries wanted snipers who stayed far away and picked off high value targets, performed reconnaissance, or called in fire missions.

The DMR concept is to take a service rifle from the rack, accurize it, and have it use the same ammo as used in the general infantry unit. The closest thing in the Soviet sphere of influence analogous to a Western DMR would be the Iraqi Tabuk rifle. Taking an M110 and handing it to the best shot in an infantry platoon doesn't mean it is no longer a sniper rifle; it is still a sniper rifle just pressed into the designated marksman role. The same holds up for the SVD. Also, doctrine for snipers is different for East and West, so using the Western doctrine to classify it is also erroneous. According to Russian doctrine and usage, it is a sniper rifle. If going by Western doctrine for a DMR, an accurized AK-74 with an RPK-74 barrel would be a true designated marksman rifle.

There are actually several optic templates for SVD. You are most likely using one for close range shooting. The original army SVD comes with three templates. Most of the shooting that soldiers did in Afghanistan was over 500m. Mountain to mountain. SVD was used mostly by DShB (Air Troopers) unites and they were called the Caravan Hunters.

Не много не так. СВД - штатное оружие марксмана. В пехотном отделении по штату - один марксман. Эту винтовку применяют все подразделения в которых по штату должен быть марксман. ДШБ - десантно-штурмовой батальон. Это подразделения относящееся к ВДВ - воздушно-десантные войска или к морской пехоте. Охотой на караваны в Афганистане занимались подразделения спецназа ГРУ (главное разведовательное управление).
