The description highlights the contributions of designer Evgeniy Dragunov, a competitive marksman, and details the rifle's technical features like its rotating bolt and short-stroke gas piston. The SVD's integration into Soviet infantry units and its continued service are also mentioned. The video also points to related content comparing the SVD with other variants like the Tiger and NDM-86, and an interview with Max Popenker on Dragunov history.
