This video explores the Al Kadesih, a rare Iraqi-made copy of the SVD Dragunov sniper rifle. Unlike a direct clone, the Al Kadesih incorporates AK-style stamped receiver and trunnions while retaining the SVD's fire control system and short-stroke gas piston. Produced in Iraq with Yugoslav assistance, the rifle was manufactured between 1988-1991 and possibly again in 2003. It's noted for its rarity, with a limited production run, and some examples were apparently made for presentation purposes, including gold-plated versions. The video references a Silah Report article for further details.
