Russian shooter hit a target at 2 km in complete darkness

Russian shooter Sergei Shmakov hit a target at a distance of almost two kilometers in complete darkness. Shooting was carried out from a SVLK-14 "Twilight" sniper rifle.

Reportedly, Shmakov laid five .408 CheyTac (10,3 mm) caliber bullets in an 60 target at 60 centimeters at a distance of 1920 meters, thereby setting a new world record. For firing, he used the SVLK-14 "Twilight" Russian sniper rifle with the Daedalus NV domestic passive night sight mounted on it.

We want to set a record for a maximum range shot at night, without any backlighting. That is, it is not an active sight, it is a passive sight, it is not intended to illuminate the target with either a laser or other light sources, that is, it is in absolutely real night conditions

- the creator of the rifle, designer Vladislav Lobaev, told Russia Today.

Earlier, using the same SVLK-14 "Twilight" rifle, a world record was set for the range of an accurate shot. In October 2017, the Russian shooter Andrei Ryabinsky hit a meter-by-meter target at a range of 4210 meters.

The SVLK-14С "Twilight" rifle was developed by Lobaev Arms.

A combat and 1 km is decent. The sight is passive, it will not "light up".

Greetings!
I think that the shooting module, remote with under the programs, one FIG did not beat.
Here it is important how many pre-shootings were and the go-ahead barrel warmed up, so that the goal would be scored for 2 km.

Well, that was the record. Yes, and 5 bullets to plant, it’s not just hit.

[Shurik70]

I wonder how much "in combat conditions" will there be a bright flash of powder gases from a shot? In the dark of the night.
This rifle has no flash suppressor as standard, it has a "T-Tuner" muzzle brake. And if you change it to a flame arrester, the recoil will be strong and the accuracy will decrease.

[LiSiCyn]

I agree with you. I thought about it myself. But this is still not an army option, but for a "special" case. Where possible, completing the task will outweigh other factors.

With all due respect to our sniper guys, to set world records they helped the unique creation of Vladislav Lobaev, which has absolutely no analogues in the world. This rifle, which by the way is XNUMX% Russian, is called the "Ferrari" of small arms! In a word, well done gunsmiths, and of course a deep bow to the arrows.

Well, yes, it does. But while the Austrians are using it.

[Proxima]

Quote: Procaryot

so there is no need for "analogue"

Then, please, give an analog. The only American long-range sniper rifle of the same class, the M200 Intervention, comes to my mind. Only they have a "small" difference, the American rifle shoots with an error of slightly more than one arc minute, and "Twilight" - 0.2 - 0.3 arc minutes! There is a difference?

[Proxima]

Quote: Procaryot

Analogs of a high-precision large-caliber rifle? There are a great many of them, as well as cartridges for them.

"Great" answer !!! Give at least one analogue, Mr. Troll!

[Berkut24]

And the .408 CheyTac cartridge is not Orthodox at all

The corpse does not care what religion the disc has scattered his brains across the clearing. In war, ammunition of mass use is of fundamental nature. And it is not a problem to gather up "enemy caliber" for a single jeweler.

[Shelest2000]

If I’m not mistaken, then all Lobaev’s rifles are manufactured using imported high-precision equipment and barrels for barrels were also ordered abroad.
Maybe something has changed now, I don’t know.

This record helped them to establish not a rifle but a 3+ sight, judging by the size, non-acidic magnification.
Day shooting at 2 km is not a joke, but you won’t surprise anyone like that. So the news is about the sight.

Let me explain. Night scopes have a common technical problem. They are all of extremely low multiplicity. Usually they are 2,5-4,5 krat. This is not just small, but monstrously small for a distance of even 300m. It is possible to get into what you cannot see, but all this is from the evil one, so all athletes who shoot "far away" have telescopes that mum do not worry, there are pipes up to half a meter.
So, the problem of high multiplicity on nightlights is that it is extremely difficult for them to catch the focus, and you need to fine-tune such optics by twisting the lens very often and very subtly.
And I'm 146% sure that the image intensifier tube is not ours there. In such sizes and domestic 3+, I do not believe it.

So this record is solely due to Daedalus.

I do not agree with you. For eight years now, the SVL has set records in accuracy and range, constantly updating its own achievements and believe me, you won’t get away with one night sight.

[Fibrizio]

I wrote more likely that a 2km shooting rifle can be bought on the open international market without any problems, and even there will be a choice. It is impossible to buy such a sight. Uniqueness is in it.

Wow. Very valid. Of course, this is a record-breaking record, but in combat conditions a kilometer is also a lot.

on real experience - I do not agree. There are situations when support of exactly this is what is needed. And it’s so simple, an opponent has a nightmare. This is very unpleasant when unexpected people arrive from such a thing. Even if it does not catch anyone, they will still begin to twitch. And the more uncomfortable he is, the better for us.

[Alexga]

If not a secret, where is the experience? From mine, even in the desert, this is not necessary. It is not possible to hide a sniper with such a fool. On the other hand, there is also a sniper. Yes, there will be problems in the mountains too.

I came across when they worked for us from a good distance from the other side. It’s stupid, but it’s unnerving. This is unpleasant. You start to twitch. And he got when we were supported by a very good shooter from the SOBR. It was he who drove the machine gunner. We could not get it. But he worked from SVD. Accordingly, it was next to it. And of course, they also actively tried to knock him out. If he had such a balalaika - it would be easier for him and us.

[Alexga]

Clear. No objections

To supplement it - with a similar one, I completely admit working on light armored vehicles at decent distances, and working on targets behind shelters. The wall is not very thick, the fence, etc.

Here I am talking about. Such a distance is already for another technique. An old woman ZU-23 from that target would leave some shavings.

Zushka, these are already different dimensions, weight, mobility. And her 'selectivity' is not the same. She will grind someone else's machine gunner along with the house in which he sits. And together with their men pressed under the wall.

[tracer]

Which is actually much more effective. Yes, and the trunk is heavy long-range always.

[0x0]

Their machine gun was in the window, 40 centimeters above my head. I could not do anything. I was pressed tightly on the side. The one above that worked out our shooter from the oar. Only he was busy for a long time, they tried to extinguish him. If there was ZUShka, at your suggestion, I would stay there myself. There would be no SVD, but such a balalaika, our shooter would work from a distance beyond their reach, and we would walk along the avenue.
And when you stomp onto the exit, ZUShku, on the pink top, it’s not quite handy to shove.

[tracer]

We, too, were most afraid of these toys. Seeing how our anti-aircraft gunners lappish with them. Like barely lifting boxes (on both sides) with minimal confusion, the shooter suddenly flies away. You understand that the sniper is clearly not you ...))) Here I am talking about that, this heavy balalaika will not take you far to the mountains with you, but if not far, you will support your own. There are no miracles. Spit in the hands of Barrett semi-automatic of the very .50 BMG. Do not drag it especially. If not a pedestrian, then yes a good thing.

[0x0]

variability. As for the tasks that we were solving - a shooter with a large-caliber, long-range rifle, just right. Because most often they worked in full autonomy. And the caliber is needed rather not even 10 mm., But 12, or even 14,5. As for "you won't drag", so ours, on the exits wore SVD and VSS. Of course, the weight was distributed among everyone.

[Romanenko]

When I read such news, I experience a dual sensation.
Well, yes, our fighter fighter hit the night 2 km at the target with a rifle.
It seems like a reason for pride.
And Lobaev well done and shooter what you need.
And the second set of sensations.
He fired from a piece of small-scale weapons made for serial foreign ammunition.
That is, all that is what is done above is absolutely worthless.
These records must be made on their own weapons with ammunition of domestic production.
So, for a minute, this is primarily the miners, remember the pre-war thirties of the USSR, mass shooting was developing, they fired from far from the newest and not the most advanced trilines, which by then had been in service for more than 40 years.
Yes, they didn’t get to 2 km at night and didn’t even try.
They fired at "real" ranges, fired a lot and in large quantities, and trained a large number of shooters, even if not all were snipers, but everyone was confident with their weapons.
And when the Great Patriotic War began, the Wehrmacht suffered really monstrous losses from sniper fire of the Red Army.
Once again, real records are not separate laboratory experiments, although of course they are very important.
