The timing of the start of state tests of the new Ugolyok sniper rifle has been announced

State tests of the new Ugolek sniper complex being developed for the Russian army will begin in 2022. This was reported by the press service of Rostec.

The developer of the rifle TsNIITOCHMASH has begun manufacturing prototypes of a new sniper rifle, which will take part in preliminary tests. The next stage - state tests - is scheduled for 2022, the exact dates have not been named. In November last year, industrial director of the Rostec weapons complex, Bekkhan Ozdoev, said that state tests were scheduled for the end of 2021.

Currently, prototypes of sniper systems are being manufactured for preliminary tests. State tests are scheduled to begin in 2022

- leads TASS message Rostec.

The new Ugolek sniper complex is being developed using only Russian components and components. The complex is created on the basis of a semi-automatic rifle and is being developed in 2 calibers - 7,62x51 mm (.308 Winchester) and 8,6x69 mm (.338 Lapua Magnum). He will receive new Russian-made optics.

TsNIITOCHMASH said earlier that the Ugolek sniper rifle is intended for long-range shooting, and not to replace the SVD, which is the main sniper rifle in the Russian army.

In the future, on the basis of army rifles, hunting self-loading rifles will be created for both caliber - and .308, and .338 Lapua Magnum.

In the niche of an army self-loading sniper rifle of the squad-platoon level, it is possibly difficult.
But the article indicates that the purpose of creating a new sniper rifle is different, namely:

No one will spit it. The coal is created on the basis of the SVD, but for some reason under the patrons of NATO.

Kind of like this rifle. The appearance is different, refined, a new sight and NATO cartridges. Which is strange and raises questions.

You are mistaken, the photo shows a microwave rifle designed by Chukavin.



Device and technical characteristics

The rifle has a semi-automatic design with a low-stroke gas piston. Part of the muzzle gases when fired is spent on reloading the weapon. In this case, the bolt carrier moves back, at the same time the used sleeve is thrown away. When the bolt carrier moves forward, a new cartridge from the magazine enters the chamber.

Microwave sniper rifle characteristics

length: 995-1015 mm
weight: 4,2 kg
declared sighting range: 1200 m
barrel length: 410 mm
caliber: 7,62 and 8,6 mm
scattering at a distance of 100 m: 30 mm
cartridge type: 7,62x54 mm, 7,62x51 mm and 8,6x70 mm (.338)

Modifications

The rifle can be manufactured in three modifications, depending on the type of cartridge used. The base model has a store identical to the SVD. Its capacity is 10 rounds. There are stores with increased capacity - for 15 or 20 rounds.

Compare carefully. Really similar, but full of differences. Another DTK, no sighting device, another magazine, the barrel is longer.

DTK in various rifle variants, especially experienced, can be completely different, "sighting device (" front sight ")", if you have not noticed, is removable on the product, on the weaver-picatinny rail. The store is really different, not "SVDeshny", but you missed the data that the rifle can be produced for 3 types of cartridges, and 3 magazines of different capacities - for 10,15 or 20 rounds.
The length of the trunk can only seem different.

The removable front sight is cool. Especially on a sniper rifle. Shoot each time. And most importantly WHY

Removable and more than that - collapsible(so as not to block the line of sight).
And there is it so that, like on the SVD, you can use an open sight in the absence / malfunction of optics.

From this, neither the caliber nor the cartridge becomes Russian!

[The leader of the Redskins]

Here are my first thoughts on calibers ...
To rub into the western market? Very difficult. For our special forces? And what does not suit our caliber?
Well, and again - a pretty penny in the piggy bank of ill-wishers who will again drag out a song about groveling in front of NATO.

7.62x54P pushed in already?

A good cartridge, in ballistics, with normal gunpowder, in no way inferior to the same NATO 7,62x51. But ... One "But" - "ZAKRAYINA" ...
She, ancient and insidious, makes the cartridge very inconvenient for use in automatic and self-loading weapons, because of her, designers have to go to all kinds of technical tricks that complicate the design of the weapon.
So, in particular, it was with the Dragunov SVD rifle and the Kalashnikov PK (M) machine gun ...

Dream

That would be instead of 7,62x51 NATO, Russian cartridge 7,62x54 without rim...

[mark1]

If 7,62x51 for special forces is one thing ... if gross in the troops, there is only one logical explanation - you will get the cartridges from the enemy ... (ha-ha, if that)

[Crimean partisan 1974]

That would be instead of 7,62x51 NATO, the Russian cartridge 7,62x54 without a rim ... fig knows what better ... but from the experience of the famous February 2014, when we dug in on Chongar from the junta, we brought in addition to DP shotguns from the military enlistment office, and the guys from Belogorsk pulled up MG-42 (black diggers), so after shooting, the ancient DP immediately fired all 45 cartridges from 7.62-54 welts from the PC, but it did not work with hever, or the Mauser 7..92-57 s gunpowder caked. but the search engines claimed that the cartridges of Czech origin, that is, marriage, was lying around in my apartment. with a punctured capsule but a whole .......... so in my opinion, the only breakthrough in small arms can only be by developing caseless ammunition

[Insurgent]

Quote: Crimean partisan 1974

on shooting, the ancient DP immediately fired all 45 rounds from the 7.62-54 welt from the PC, but it did not work with the hever, or the gunpowder of the 7..92-57 Mauser with the groove was jammed. but the search engines claimed that the cartridges of Czech origin, that is, marriage, was lying around in my apartment. with a punctured capsule but a whole .........

From my experience as a machine gunner, I can see that I had to deal with a similar problem on the PC (M), when some of the cartridges from one zinc turned out to be with impaled capsules, and the shot did not follow, and some were regularly fired, and all this in one tape on one machine gun.
As it turned out, the quality of the cartridges had nothing to do with it, just earlier, someone careless, started the machine, and a compressed clot of dirt formed in the bolt under the drummer, already practically indistinguishable from the metal of the bolt ... And the drummer, for this reason, some cartridges " finished off ", but some did not.
Fortunately, the drummer - the "striker" of the PC is removable ... they "soaked" the dirt in the solarium, scraped and cleaned it with a homemade microkerch made of steel wire (otherwise you can't crawl), and the problem went away.

And what is characteristic - the "unfinished" cartridges are no longer suitable for shooting, no manipulations with them help, they even tried with a nail, for the sake of experiment, "finish off" the capsules - Fig you

[Crimean partisan 1974]

Fortunately, the drummer - the "firing pin" of the PC is removable ... "soaked" the dirt in the solarium, scraped -... the main thing is that the welt 7.62-54 is everywhere in abundance .... by the way, I watched a striped video. striped with rifle bikes have all the norms in everyday life, so they shoved their 7.62 -51 cartridge with a groove into our Pug ... our legend shoots them, only there is no extraction. push out the sleeve with a ramrod. and grandfather Garand, our welt 54th does not pull ... ... yes, I am convinced that a sensible caseless case is needed ... there are a lot of advantages in comparison with a hydraulic one

[Zaurbek]

There is one more thing here. The range of the SVD is now achieved and 5,56x46 and 7.62x51 and somehow 6.5mm ... and our cartridge does not overlap them radically in terms of indicators ... and NATO (and already in the Russian Federation) has more powerful cartridges and 7.62 and 8.5mm ...... maybe that's why they decided to move away from 54P ......

[Piramidon]

Quote: Zaurbek

and somehow 6.5mm

Is it really the 6,5 × 50 mm Arisaka cartridge, adopted by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1897, together with the Arisaka magazine rifle (Type 30)?

[Zaurbek]

No ... there is a modern sniper cartridge. And the trend is the transition to a single 6.5-6.8mm assault rifles and machine guns. And machine guns for more powerful 8.6-9mm cartridges.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

And machine guns chambered for more powerful 8.6-9mm cartridges .... yes, you don't need to overwrite nonsense ... small arms in combat must have bottomless ammunition. so that this ammunition load was everywhere and always, and fanciful counters and piece calibers are for hunters ... what we have today ... this is an AK with 7.62-39, 5.45-39, this is a PC and SVD with a welt 7.62-54 ... well, in the support of the RPG-7 ... ammunition for them shaft around the world

This only says that the rifle will not go to the troops. Only in special forces and then in certain ones.
Made SVD-K chambered for 9,3 × 64 mm 7N33 Brennecke, the troops entered the troops in an extremely limited series. Most likely now somewhere in warehouses lie due to the lack of cartridges.

[Zaurbek]

Microwave was also made under three cartridges ...

Nowhere else have I seen this under 3 cartridges 10,15 and 20 yes, but why under 3 cartridges. Meaning

In the future, on the basis of army rifles, self-loading hunting rifles will be created for both calibers - both .308 and .338 Lapua Magnum.

It would be quite nice!

[Earthshaker]

Big questions about the need for semi-automatic near Lapua, given the claims of developing weapons for long range firing. If you don't hit the first time, then there will be no second chance, but for fast shooting at medium distances there are other calibers.

Why the bayan automatic rifle for long distances ?? I ask me, dull, to explain! Exported to Abu Dhabi again? Well then okay

[Pamir]

Something suggests that the photo is NOT a "Coal",. Coal "is NOT a semi-automatic, it is in its pure form a narrow-barreled bolt with manual reloading, with a different optics, with a different characteristic of the barrel, with a different look even in appearance. SVD-shki, well, maybe modernized. These are different tactical units, each, for its own type of purpose. Bolt in caliber and with repetition of semi-automatic SVD-shki, why? SVD-shku up to 800m cannot be surpassed, excellent weapon, but bolt, somewhat different, and for other ranges.
