Killer: Should Russia s Dragunov Sniper Rifle Ever Change?

Why has Russia hesitated to modernize the Dragunov? A large part is due to doctrine. Here s What You Need to Remember: The simplicity of the Dragunov means it is likely to stick around the battlefields of the world for much longer, even as Russian forces adopt western-style sniper rifles for more precise roles. The Dragunov sniper rifle paired with the PSO-1 scope was perhaps the most advanced sniper system in the world when it entered service in 1963. But in the years since, the design has fallen far behind and Russia has not procured a domestic replacement. Nowadays, Russia’s elite security services and military snipers prefer Western sniper rifles while the Russian arms industry catches up. But how did the Dragunov fall behind? Does it have a future in service?
