This is the first sniper rifle in the world able to eliminate targets on distances of four kilometers.
Russian weapon producers have presented their recent development, the SVLK-14S Sumrak, the first sniper rifle in the world that is capable of eliminating the enemy at a distance of over four kilometers.
In the town of Tarusa, a two-hour drive from Moscow, stands a small one-story building with the sign Tsar Pushka (tsar cannon). At first glance the building seems plain and unprepossessing. However, inside is a factory that produces some of the most powerful sniper rifles in the world.
The enterprise became the first private factory in Russia to produce weapons. Curiously, owner and principal gunsmith Vlad Lobaev studied the art of firing and gun manufacturing not in his motherland, but in the US. It was there that he bought equipment worth several million dollars for the factory.
“It is all very simple,” said chief engineer of the KBIS company Yuri Sinichkin. “America has several hundred private enterprises that produce licensed weapons. Therefore, it is one of the most developed weapon manufacturing markets in the world. That is why a part of the Tsar Pushka rifles, which Putin’s bodyguards use, is made with American technologies and know-how.
The chief “Russian-American” weapon
In Sinichkin’s words, the factory’s most powerful product is the SVLK-14S, which, due to its might, was nicknamed Sumrak (twilight).
“This weapon was made piece by piece, just like a Ferrari or Porsche, for people who appreciate high-precision guns and for professional snipers who use them in long-range shooting,” added Sinichkin.
It is used with the .408 CheyTac (10.3mm) bullet, which comes out of the barrel at a speed of 900 meters per second.
“For example, such a bullet pierces through a rail that is three centimeters thick. Imagine what will happen if this bullet hits the enemy. No bullet-proof vest will help him,” remarked the engineer.
However, the weapon, just like a luxury-class car, is not produced for combat purposes, since to increase the range and accuracy of the shot the constructors decided to reduce the “running” part to a minimum when the trigger is pulled and thus removed the clip. Consequently, what was produced was a single-shot rifle.
Another particularity of the Sumrak is the heavy meter and a half (1430mm) barrel, made out of high-grade aluminum, which can function independently of the changes in temperature, from -40 to +60 degrees Celsius. It gives the rifle considerable power and weight (the weapon weighs 9.6 kilograms).
“The weapon was designed with two types of muzzle brakes. They reduce the shock to a very comfortable level. No rifle in the world with this caliber will allow an average shooter to take 150-200 shots a day without repercussions on his health. All this is embodied in the Sumrak rifle. It also has the classical form of a gunstock and is distinguished by its minimalism in details. There is nothing superfluous, only that which is necessary to obtain maximum range and precision,” added Sinichkin.
You will not be able to run around in the woods with this rifle, but you will be the first in the world to hit a target 4,200 meters away. Something Russian snipers already did at the end of September.

Lobatan...

They said no bullet proof will help the target
I say it will first kill the body
Then it will kill the spirit
Finally it will kill the soul.

And still carry takeaway death for anybody that greets you first in hell.

I just love Russian's Creativity.

Fear this Nigerian sniper this one can bring Enemy down from any country

...and Nigerians are still arguing over hijab...

what a useless country.

I wonder when they will create food that feed people with a 4km radius?

MEGA AWESOME!!!


Technological exploits are usually observed among the great nations of the earth of which Nigeria can never ever belong to.

On a side note,gamers should be eager to see this gun adopted in more recent action/shooting games. The gun would be a cheat! Imagine taking out the enemy with this baby,bullet proof and all.

this would be a useful tool in ending corruption..
imagine sniping national assembly members and stupid politician who make stupid remarks

Thirty years later,Nigerian police force would be using this weapon

Juliette05:

Nothing curious if you understand how things work in the far East.The guy was probably a high ranking mechanical engineer in the KGB or whatever the Russians called their secret service right now.
They just sent him there as a 'student'.

The Japs did the same thing with Europeans and Americans before WW2.
They studied in Europe and America then thanks to some innovative inputs, they were able to create a deadly war machine ( Air force & Marine ).

Rolling back in History the West itself acquired scientific progress after the Christian crusades in the Muslim World. There westerners did not only plunder wealth, they also learned a lot from highly talented Muslim scientists and philosophers. Without the crusades the years of Enlightment would be delayed in Europe, for sure.

It's better to do more in medicine.


Cancer, Sickle cell anemia,. HIV, Ebola, etc.


If we spent much in medicine as we do in warfare and defense,


The world will be a better place.

what's or who is stopping you from creating it?

As we are getting modern, we also improve our ammunition technology. We work hard to improve their efficiency and accuracy of results. Now Russians have improved the technology of shotgun, you can eliminate your enemy from 4 kilometers. You can use this gun at night if you have a night vision telescope on it. You may purchase this at GOING DARK online store, they titled it as night vision for sale. Visit now to check more details.
