Rostec Weapons cluster said: “The main feature of the assault rifle is its removable silencer, which allows transforming an assault rifle for short-range combat into a full-fledged sniper rifle in the field, capable of effectively hitting targets at distances of over 300m.

“The reliability and ease-of-use of the weapon, as well as the ability to install special equipment such as night and sniper sights, make our weapons famous and popular all over the world.

“Rosoboronexport has signed a new supply contract for the SR.3M assault rifles with a foreign partner.”

With a magazine for 30 rounds, the 3.2kg compact assault rifle SR.3M can be used with or without the silencer and folded or unfolded butt.

Recently, Rosoboronexport completed the delivery of underwater pistols and assault rifles to an undisclosed foreign partner.
