The STV, short for Súng Trường Việt Nam (lit.'Rifle of Vietnam')[2] or Súng Tiểu liên Việt Nam (lit.'Submachine Guns of Vietnam', it should be clarified that Vietnam formally designates the AK-class rifles as súng tiểu liên[3] - SMG while not officially adopting and recognizing any classification and designation for AR), is a family of Vietnamese assault rifles. They are products of the Z111 Factory and are chambered in 7.62x39mm.[4]
The STV program was initiated to design the next generation service rifles for the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) as well as the whole Vietnam People's Armed Forces, using the technologies and experiences learned from the IWI Galil ACE licensed production. As of 2024, the principle variant STV-380 alongside its carbine derivatives STV-215 and STV-022 have been popularly issued to VPA units alongside other paramilitary and civillian security forces in Vietnam, step-by-step replacing the legacy Kalashnikov rifles.
