KLIMOVSK, November 5. /TASS/. The new sniper system for Russia’s special services has passed state trials and is ready for serial supplies, CEO of the Central Research Institute of Precision Machine-Building (TsNIITochMash) Dmitry Semizorov said on Saturday.
"The rifles have successfully passed state
tests," Semizorov said, presenting the new rifle to Russian Deputy Prime
Minister Dmitry Rogozin. "The work of an interdepartmental commission has
been completed," he added.
The first supplies of the sniper system will be carried
out for the Federal Protective Service (FSO), a federal government agency
tasked with protecting high-ranking state officials. "We have the first
order, the first batch is small, it will be used by the FSO forces and we are
already working on serial supplies," Semizorov said.
The sniper system, developed for the first time in
modern Russia’s history, is equipped with optical sight and a 2km laser ranging
device. It is fully based on domestic materials, except for the electronic
component base in thermal pointers, he said.
