The Istiglal Anti-Material Rifle (also known as the Istiglal) is a recoil-operated, semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle developed by the Azerbaijani Defense Industry.
Although developed in 2008, it was only revealed in 2009 during the International Defense Exhibition Fair. Its appearance has attracted a huge number of visitors.
An Istiglal anti-material rifle in 12.7 caliber has been recently announced with plans for adoption in the Azerbaijani military and for overseas.
