The Dragunov SVU (Russian: Снайперская винтовка укороченная, Snayperskaya Vintovka Ukorochennaya, Short Sniper Rifle) is a bullpup configuration of the SVD sniper rifle. The SVU was developed to meet the needs of the security forces of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, such as OMON. The SVU was first seen in usage in the First Chechen War. Though it has folding iron sights, the SVU is almost always used with the PSO-1 scope. It has an integral flash hider and suppressor. A bayonet may be fitted under the forestock. A folding adjusting bipod is optional.
