Party of Kalashnikov rifles from Russia goes to the Philippines for free

79
Philippine media publish confirmation of information that the country expects a batch of Kalashnikov assault rifles from Russia for the needs of the Philippine security officials. Earlier, President Rodrigo Duterte announced that Russia would donate 5 thousands of automatic barrels to Manila’s official weapons.

Philippine newspaper Philippine star claims that we are talking about AK-47 machines. As is known, this is an early version of the Soviet weapon developed by MTKalashnikov. In the Russian army AK-47 (or rather, just AK) is not used today, but there are quite a few such weapons left in military warehouses. If the AK is actually transferred to the Philippines, then such a military-technical gift is quite understandable: relations between the two countries have recently improved significantly, and the Philippines continues to face a direct terrorist threat.



Party of Kalashnikov rifles from Russia goes to the Philippines for free


According to updated data, a ship with 5-th thousand automata from Russia will arrive in the Philippines on October 22. This became known from the message of the Minister of Defense Delphine Lorentzana. From the statement of the Minister:
Russia gives us weapons without any conditions. In the future, we may conduct joint military exercises to strengthen cooperation between our countries.


Earlier, before President Rodrigo Duterte came to power, the Philippines positioned itself as one of the main US allies in the Asia-Pacific region. Duterte accused the United States of trying to interfere in the internal affairs of the Philippines and began to develop the Russian vector of Philippine relations. Manila's relations with Beijing have significantly improved.

    Warehouses must be emptied .. By the way, an interesting fact. During the Second World War, Americans dropped disposable pistols to Filipino partisans .. But this is “good” and is not suitable for AK soles.

            Somehow you too believe books. They are not written for history, but for salary and they are hacking as they can. If something is written more often, this does not mean that this information is more true than the one that is written less often. Imagine how you are being conducted on PR and advertising.

                So why does the army need another cartridge. They already have problems with logistics in the south. The issue is not the presence / absence of supplies of cartridges / magazines / body kit. The question is that now the delivery of everything is tied to other caliber / weapon systems. And add another cartridge / other stores / other additional equipment = complicate logistics and cause level problems, on this block are 5 Aroids and 30 AKs, but the cartridges on the AK came with 1 box, and 5.56 - 10 boxes.

                They know better. But as the heavy battles for Maravi show, the infantry of the Philippine army is well equipped for urban fighting and shows itself very worthy. But there are no mobile fire platforms. Only armored cars — which are vulnerable to mines, RPGs, and even infantry machine guns — don’t hang them with crates.

                What T-62M there would be kings of the battlefield. For the anti-tank systems are not there and the broads have no place to take them (even buying from the army will not work). Accelerated - about two months ago (when the negotiations started), the Filipinos could already have a tank company. And this made a much greater contribution to the victory than AK. They, out of hopelessness, already 105mm howitzers are rolling out for direct fire, according to the Perekatipole system (that is, they are building a barricade with movable shields, then they are rolling out a howitzer there).

                    The infantry respects them.
                    They are fighting hard, with virtually no armored vehicles.
                    The infantry equipment is also good, nevertheless it is an army with squads - where there is a Marxman, a machine gunner, a fighter with an under-barrel grenade launcher, a medic, and not like anyone in Iraq-Syria, but we’ll bandage the wounds with a scarf.

                    The problem with them is that they fight for 3 days, then a stop order and a week of negotiations. Again, there is no way to suppress the firing point - nothing. Aviation helps a little, but it’s not that.

                    For example, when there was a big contrast from the inside, outside and even on boats, in early September. IG - declared 50 dead soldiers Duterte. CSKA about 8. In this battle lasted two days. Not a single block of Filipinos surrendered, ran away, abandoning everything. And there was even a camouflaged shahidmoped (according to the 6 army soldiers who died from him) - that the exotic is fierce and the child prodigy practically.

    They have no AK culture at all. There are no rounds for him. There are no methods for working with him.

    They have the entire national police and army on the 2 and 5.56 NATO calibres.

    Moreover, when the PRC concluded an agreement on assistance (2 Ila - different for the first time and a whole ship different just recently). Then the Filipinos insisted that they put weapons precisely under 5.56 (Chinese Aroids) and 7.62 NATO - Chinese SVD.

        You won’t believe it that way.

        How many of us have been robbed and destroyed in our history ... But Russia is becoming stronger. A paradox and a mysterious Russian soul! We found huge reserves in the Arctic ..
        Thanks to our ancestors, who left us such a huge and rich territory .. Of course, we made a lot of things, but we will return everything! soldier

      Maybe it’s better to lower taxes.



      Ahem ... Or maybe - on the contrary - introduce the so-called luxury tax, from which the boyars in the Duma shy away with horror for a whole year?

    Hehehehe ... when in Ukraine in 2008 they laid out a list of what they were going to sell from the warehouses of the MOU, collectors joyfully rubbed their hands.
    For in the list were: sniper "mosinki", SVT, PPSh, APS, DP (yes, "pure" DP, without "M"), "Maxim", DShK (also "clean"), CPV (without "T") .
    From “foreign cars” - “Walter” RRK, RR, R-38, “Parabelum” R-08, PP Thompson arr. 1928 and 1942, rifles VZ-24, machine guns MG-34 and 42, as well as ZB-30.

    Another hybrid of the navel of the earth with supermind homegrown on parsley.
    Such actions have an equivalent value / value that is many times higher than the cost of a batch of AK-47. But it is difficult for your parsley-mind to realize, it is better to shout and amuse yourself with populism.
