Some netizens generally know the Kalashnikov manufacturer as a Russian manufacturer of assault rifles and snipers.

Quoted from a Rosoboronexport press release, there are at least three types of sniper rifles exhibited by Lobaev Arms.
The three types of rifles are the DVL-10 M1 Saboteur, DXL-3 Longstrike and DXL-4 Sevastopol. All three rifles are equipped with a system of demasking factors, such as the thermal signature – which is one of the most common problems on modern battlefields, flash silencer and fire suppression.
