Russia will develop an ultra-long-range rifle of the caliber of NATO countries. Testing of the new weapon will begin in
According to Maxim Baymetov, the maindesigner of the ORSIS weapons development company, these weapons are developed primarily for export. But the Russian power structures are already interested in the project.
We decided to go even further:to create a large-caliber rifle for the universal NATO cartridge 50 bmg (12.7 × 99 mm), which is used in a wide range of weapons, from rifles to machine guns. This rifle will be able to shoot at record distances of 2.5-3 kilometers.

Baimetov noted that this is a real military weapon: it can consistently shoot at such a range. Snipers will be able to hit targets at a distance of about 2.5 kilometers, subject to accurate shooting.
Today in Russia no one is producing military weapons of this class yet.
