Arguably one of the first designated marksman rifle appeared in modern warfare, SVD (Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova, Dragunov Sniper Rifle) is a signature Soviet semi-automatic rifle that bears the designer's name. SVD would often be addressed just as Dragunov.

The effective combat range of ground troops are significantly reduced with the introduction of automatic rifles/SMGs with their intermediate rifle/pistol cartridges, the Union was in demand for a 7.62×54mmR calibre marksman rifle to fill the longer range engagement duty of the Soviet Army that was previously filled by the Mosin-Nagant rifle. SVD was developed in between 1958–1963 by Yevgeny Dragunov to meet the Union's demand for such a weapon, defeating several other submitted rifle designs and emerged as the victor from a series of intensive field tests. 

SVD's receiver bears a number of similarities to the Kalashnikov rifles, such as the large dust cover, AK style iron sights and lever safety selector, but these similarities are mostly for cosmetic purposes. The internal operating mechanism would not allow SVD to fall under the category of a Kalash derivative, SVD classifies as a gas-operated, rotating bolt action rifle with a short-stroke gas-piston system. Practical rate of fire of SVD is around 30 rounds per minute, fed by it's 10 round magazines, able to propel the bullet at a muzzle velocity of 830m/s, covering 800 metres of effective range (up to 1400m with PSO-1).

SVD is one of the longer rifles that measures above 1200mm in length, the barrel itself measures 620mm, integrated with a slotted flash suppressor and is able to mount bayonet on the lug pinned to the end of the barrel. The barrel also have a thin profile to save weight, it is only partially rifled up to a length of 547mm. It is also connected by a spring-loaded mechanism to the handguard, so the handguard can move with the barrel during firing, this makes SVD's barrel semi free floating.

Early model SVD featured a two-piece wooden handguard and a skeletonized wooden thumbhole stock, modernized variants would have replaced the wooden parts with polymer materials parts. Other than iron sight, SVD have access to the PSO-1 optical scope which was developed especially for the rifle, attachment of the scope relies on optic clamp mounts, so it does not block view of the iron sight. Modernized/current production model of SVD added compatibility to combat accessory rails of Warsaw Pact or Picatinny variety.

Much like the PK machinegun, SVD entered service immediately after the test, inspiring various successor weapon designs, widely distributed/exported to ex-Soviet/ex-Warsaw Pact countries, while continues to serve both regular and irregular armed forces in modern warfare all over the world even today. Notable variants/derivatives include the compact SVDS for airborne troops, 9.3×64mm calibre SVDK, the TsKIB SOO made bullpup configured OTs-03 SVU, the Norinco made Type 79/Type 85 and the Iranian Nakhjir 3.<ref name= "wiki"></ref>

=== Design ===
A T-doll of around 140cm of body height, SVD have both silver pupil and long hair.

Her Winter Fairy costume had three dolls in the gift bag, which were later confirmed to be {{doll name|SV-98|RF|3}}, {{doll name|SCW|AR|3}} and {{doll name|Lee-Enfield|RF|5}}, two of which are also illustrated by coney.

=== Personality ===
SVD presents herself as a prideful T-doll, though unlike the other prideful characters such as {{doll name|Mk48|MG|4}} she does not belittle other fellow T-dolls in any of her quotations. Despite her prideful demeanor, SVD often worries and cares for her fellow T-dolls and even for the Commander, to her fellow T-dolls she is more like a reliable senpai they can rely on. SVD is very confident in her own ability, much of her performance seem to be relying on her long service experience instead of actual ability rating, but sometimes she does have accidents and make mistakes, which leaves SVD in embarrassment.

The artist Coney was interviewed by Chopsticks on the 14th edition of G&K Chopstick News, in which he answered various questions regarding SVD's character settings, hobbies <del>and shared design inspiration.</del> Translated Q&A scripts as shown below, original text available in reference section.<ref name="chopstick">[https://weibo.com/ttarticle/p/show?id=2309404218181026727213 14th Edition of Chopstick News (Written in Chinese)]</ref>

*Chopsticks: What are those stickers on SVD's weapon box?

:Coney: Those are the stickers SVD collects, her hobby is to collect stickers, when she receive duplicates she will gift them to friends and the Commander.

*Chopsticks: Surprising hobby! What do SVD do in everyday life when she is not on sortie? What sort of outfits would she choose?

:Coney: She enjoys outdoor sports, so will often be seen in sportswear, she won't be seen in the same type of outfits.

*Chopsticks: The same as AR-15, a sporty girl, she must look cute in those summer dresses! How do SVD view her successor SV98? Will she date her!? Where do they go for dates?

:Coney: 98 is a hard working successor, they will go train together at the firing range, or out camping... Occasionally shop at the mall.

*Chopsticks: Ohhh, they are both ace shooters! I bet interesting things happen when they go out camping hehe... But as a Russian T-doll, how is SVD's alcohol tolerance? Would she prefer Kvass or Vodka?

:Coney: SVD's alcohol tolerance is high of course, she would prefer Vodka.

*Chopsticks: In what situation would she be embarrassed? *Curious*

:Coney: Perhaps when being treated like a real girl, such as being gifted flowers, chocolates etc.

*Chopsticks: Wow, Tsundere?! If SVD were to sustain wounds on sortie would she be the kind that attempts to hide it, or would she reveal it in attempt to gain sympathy from comrades and the Commander?

:Coney: She would walk it off, but she would happy if someone were to care for her.

*Chopsticks: She is a strong girl alright. From the quotations and behavior, SVD also appears to be a Queen like character, handsome, cool and confident. But will she have something that she isn't so good at or situation where she would feel awkward?

:Coney: She is not very good at culinary, but she is not willing to admit it, so if anyone were to brings up the topic of cooking it would turn into an awkward situation.

*Chopsticks: Oh my God just like WA-jan, @WA2000 you have a friend here! Anyways the Christmas costume had three dolls in the bag, is the third one another upcoming character you designed?

:Coney: It's actually Lee-Enfield.

*Chopsticks: Do you have any design inspirations to share regarding SVD?

:Coney: Naw

*Chopsticks: Aww, Ogashi, so if you were to marry SVD would you consider your marriage life to turn out good, or bad?

:Coney: I'd say it will turn out good *laughs*, as long as I take care of the cooking.

=== In-Game ===
Player base would report that SVD feels like a 4* version of {{doll name|WA2000|RF|5}}, she is one of the stronger damage output RF T-dolls in the game thanks to her rate of fire increase active skill and the innate high rate of fire. Though players would also report that the expansion of SVD can be expensive as she is one of the rarer 4* T-dolls, some even claim that the rarity of SVD is almost on part with {{doll name|G36|AR|4}}.

The SVD targets back-row enemies, making her very useful for dispatching Jaeguars and Bombers behind enemy infantry quickly due to her high fire rate.

She is frequently seen with {{doll name|WA2000|RF|5}} to maximize the DPS of RF/RG echelons.

=== Story Involvement ===
SVD's costume Winter Fairy described her side story interactions with the Commander during 2016's Christmas event.

* Due to the similar quote and weapon of choice, some players would addresses SVD as Natasha, as a reference to the Soviet elite sniper Natasha Volkova who appeared in Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 / Uprising.
