Rosoboronexport praised Izhevsk weapons and export prospects Izhmash

From 14 to 16 February 2012 of the year Izhmash was visited by the delegation of Rosoboronexport OJSC. More than ten representatives of the department under the leadership of Deputy General Director Igor Sevastyanov held a number of working meetings on cooperation with Izhmash at the enterprise, and also got acquainted with the best samples and novelties of combat and civil weapons. These visits have already become traditional: once a year Izhmash organizes meetings on its territory to summarize the work over the past year and form partnership plans for the near future.

During the meeting, Igor Sevastyanov noted that in the 2011 year, as before, Izhmash qualitatively, timely and fully met its obligations to fulfill contracts for the supply of small arms to foreign customers. The parties approved the joint activity program and pricing for 2012, as well as discussed the prospects for partnership in 2013-2014.

Heads of Rosoboronexport got acquainted with Izhmash’s weapons production, assessed the scale of modernization carried out at the enterprise, as well as the quality of the products supplied for export. At the plant’s control and testing station, they were able to personally test the military products of Izhevsk gunsmiths in shooting: the SV-98 sniper rifle, the Vityaz submachine gun, the AK-12 Kalashnikov automatic rifle, the 18,5 KS-K and Saiga rifle -12. Representatives of Rosoboronexport highly appreciated the quality of Izhmash products, especially noting the new AK-12, which, in their opinion, will be in great demand among foreign customers.

During the visit to Izhmash, much attention was paid to the urgent problems of foreign economic activity, in particular the lengthy procedure for issuing licenses for the export of military weapons. Due to the complex licensing process, many potential customers can wait for a sample of weapons for certification from 6 to 12 months, which is not conducive to receiving and implementing orders. To remedy this situation, it was decided to jointly apply to the Government and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation with a request to introduce a notification procedure for issuing licenses for the export of small arms.

“We expect that the support of the department will help to provide Izhmash with new large orders that will allow us to increase production, wages to employees, ensuring the stable development of the enterprise. Together we will be able to ensure the effective implementation of all planned programs and the implementation of all export supplies, ”summed up the visit of Rosoboronexport. General Director of NPO Izhmash OJSC Maxim Kuzyuk

Rosoboronexport is the only Russian exporter of military products. All deliveries of military weapons to foreign countries are carried out with his participation. Together with Rosoboronexport, Izhmash promotes and sells small arms to customers from 30 countries of the world, including the states of the Pacific region, Latin America and North Africa. Among the weapons supplied for export are Kalashnikov assault rifles of various modifications, SVD, SVDS, SV-98, SV-99 sniper rifles, Bison and Vityaz submachine guns.

[Chuck-norris]

We always made good weapons !!!

[domokl]

The key word in your comment is -Done ... Massive weapons -I agree ... A beautiful Kalashnikov assault rifle designed for the village fool, but at the same time ... CH is forced to work with imported rifles, imported pistols ... Why weapons that should to be the best is always the best, but yesterday .. and not today ...

[aksakal]

Domocles, the Russians have for CH.
We have already discussed the topic Orsis -5000 VS Manliher. We came to a unanimous opinion - you are trying to justify the gang of Sedyukov-Makarov. But in vain. They will soon be recognized as state traitors (thefts in the Moscow Region will be equated with treason), you can be attracted for complicity

[Kashaverskiy]

In Soviet times, specialists worked with domestic weapons. Of the imported ones, only a scorpion from Czechoslovakia is recalled (of course, the use was limited).

[Sergh]

If there are sensible delegations, then there are no questions, if only to talk and to spit (like Makarov), then it is better not to let such people go. The main thing is that people and staff are directly allowed to calmly work and invent. and the plant has huge potential, there will be more than one big victory.

[Victor]

Even the chieftain Platov told the Tsar Emperor that in our factories guns and pistols are of better quality than in the Aglitsky. Rosobonexport clearly confirms this. I am glad that there will be what further modernization and R&D will be done.

[esaul]

Representatives of Rosoboronexport praised the quality of Izhmash products, especially noting the new AK-12, which, in their opinion, will be in great demand among foreign customers.
------------ This line scratched the heart ... Are the warehouses overwhelmed with Kalash of the previous modifications, which will be used to equip our units? And the new one - over the hill? Now, if it were said that, for example, - "This modification will be purchased as soon as possible for the armament of the RF Armed Forces ...", the news would be much happier. " I think so..."

[Victor]

I think everything has its time. Now, in fact, a global breakthrough in Russia is underway in R&D to create weapons that are outrageous in terms of their technical characteristics and technological characteristics. The GDP wants to make maximum use of the current financial capabilities of Russia in order to overcome the technological gap from the West at once and to start purchasing samples of Russian weapons that are already superior in their capabilities and technologies. If such a task is, and it is, then it makes no sense to spend money and resources on intermediate samples, which will then have to be maintained and modified.

[Maine]

Izhmash the best plant in the world

[Castor oil]

Izhevsk weapons have always been famous as structurally simple, incredibly reliable, fairly cheap. It is only important that they do not forget about the quality of production

[Desert Fox]

I think an enterprise with such a history cannot remain without a future. And most importantly, with such and such a "business card" as a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

OJSC Concern Izhmash was established on September 17, 1998 on the basis of the production complex of OJSC Izhevsk Machine-Building Plant, which has a unique 200-year production experience.

The huge potential and experience of Izhmash Concern OJSC over the past decade has allowed us to develop the production of sports and hunting weapons as part of the conversion. OJSC Concern Izhmash holds 83 patents for inventions of the Russian Federation, as well as a foreign one. The products of Izhmash Concern OJSC have significant export potential: they are widely represented on the markets of all continents.

OJSC Concern Izhmash unites defense enterprises with exceptional capabilities in the development and production of various types of military and civilian small arms.

A special pride of JSC Concern Izhmash is the world famous sporting and hunting weapons. Shotguns and carbines were developed on the basis of military weapons created by prominent designers Dragunov E.F., Nikonov G.N., and the world-famous creator of the assault rifle AK Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov.

On the basis of combat samples, numerous modifications of the Saiga, Tiger, Bear, Elk, Sobol, Bars, Isyubr and other carbines known to all amateurs of rifles have been developed. The Saiga carbine is also available in the range of service weapons. The family of sports rifles “Biathlon”, “Ural”, “Record”, “SM-2” have established themselves in the Russian and international arena.

The Izhmash brand is known in all regions of Russia and the world and enjoys success not only among hunters and athletes, but also has been highly praised by special forces of internal affairs agencies of different countries. At present, Izhmash Concern OJSC is working closely with the Russian Biathlon Union, providing sponsorship and technical support to our athletes. In 2009, an agreement was reached on cooperation between Izhmash Concern OJSC and the International Biathlon Union (IBU).

The group of companies OJSC "Concern" Izhmash "includes LLC" Legion ". LLC" Legion "is engaged in the manufacture of hunting weapons with improved and artistic decoration on the basis of the products of OJSC" Concern "Izhmash". The company has been working in the hunting weapons market for over 10 years.

[PISTOL]

Izhmash is the best factory for the production of weapons with a century of history and I think it will remain so forever)

[KAV]

I support. At the Saiga and the Tiger, because I support the domestic manufacturer. What, in principle, and satisfied.

[domokl]

I agree about the story .. But about the rest ... The plant on the laurels of the Kalashnikov assault rifle and machine gun was too busy ... The new models do not exceed, but are only equal to their foreign counterparts .. And our weapons should be the best, like Kalash ...

[sasha.28blaga]

The M-16 rifle is a weapon of imperialism. Kalashnikov assault rifle - the weapon of the liberator. AK adopted, if I am not mistaken, 80 countries around the world and according to the patent it is manufactured in China, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland. The information was received relatively long ago, therefore there may be inaccuracies. And my opinion about AK is as follows. When I first took the AK in my hands consciously, it was only from its weight, texture, smell that the very best machine gun in the World became clear, and after the shooting it was only admiration. Kalashnikov developed the system, and by right his brainchild should be called the Kalashnikov assault rifle, like the Nagan system, etc.

[916-th]

Rosoboronexport highly appreciates the products of Izhmash, while the "effective managers" of the Ministry of Defense turn their fat darlings in the direction of imported weapons.

[dred]

The main thing is that designers and workers are not left without work. Good luck to them or something!

[Nechai]

It turns out that "Beretta" was recaptured by the grabbing hands?

[Sleptsoff]

If Izhmash wants his products to sell well abroad, he needs to work hard on the design and build quality of the manufactured weapons because people abroad are used to making things look beautiful outwardly - the mentality is like that. These are not our scoops which still have carpets hanging on the walls at home and they think it looks great.

[755962]

God grant that the guys would work and create the best examples in the world!

[sergey69]

I wonder which countries the SV-98 sniper rifle was delivered to. The military does not speak very well of her.

[LiRoy]

In order to produce modern weapons, modern machine tools and trained personnel are needed who can maintain a production culture at the level, and in recent years, there have been few significant changes at the plant in a positive direction. The military wants to get the best weapons and makes fair demands, so the factory should not produce samples that are in no way inferior to foreign counterparts, but samples that are superior to foreign counterparts.

[Patton135]

Surely Makarov is already preparing an article to expose "an untenable, unreliable and inapplicable weapon produced by IZHMASH in modern combat conditions" But seriously: let's see what else the Izhevsk people will do (maybe our MO will buy something new for the Belarusian army)

[aironfirst]

Buying our weapons means what they take is the best

[Honory]

The main thing is not to sell to the Chinese, otherwise the creatures will copy and they will row money.
