The iconic Dragunov Sniper Rifle, a stalwart of the Indian Army for decades, is undergoing a significant transformation.
Designed in the late 1950s by Yevgeny Dragunov, the Dragunov Sniper Rifle (DSR) has been a reliable companion for Indian soldiers. However, the evolving demands of modern warfare have highlighted the need for upgrades to this venerable weapon.
While the DSR has proven its worth in countless operations, its limitations in terms of accuracy, ergonomics, and modularity have become increasingly apparent. To address this gap, Indian Army snipers have been spotted with DSR rifles equipped with cutting-edge accessories from SSS Defence.
This upgrade kit is a game-changer, breathing new life into the classic DSR. It incorporates modern features such as improved ergonomics, enhanced optics mounting capabilities, and a sleek new look. The kit is designed to be field-installable, minimizing downtime and ensuring operational readiness.
By modernizing the DSR, the Indian Army is not only enhancing the capabilities of its snipers but also extending the service life of a weapon system that has been a cornerstone of its arsenal. This upgrade is a testament to the Indian Army’s commitment to providing its soldiers with the best possible equipment to tackle the challenges of the 21st century.
