The issue of production of AK-103 in Saudi Arabia

93
It became known about the supply of Russian automata to Saudi Arabia. We are talking about AK-103 machines. Rosoboronexport CEO Alexander Mikheev confirmed this information, noting that the contract is being actively implemented.





An important addition from Alexander Mikheev is that Russia and Saudi Arabia are ready for the next stage of military-technical cooperation. This stage consists in creating a production of Kalashnikov assault rifles for the needs of both Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region. Discusses issues related to the localization of the production of Kalashnikov assault rifles (AK-103) in Saudi territory.

The relevant parameters of the project Rosoboronexport plans to submit to the government. And they are going to resolve this issue until the summer of this year.

At the same time, the development of a contract on the supply of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems C-400 to Saudi Arabia continues.

It should be noted that earlier the market of Saudi Arabia was actually closed to manufacturers of Russian weapons. It was almost entirely hosted by the United States of America. Now Saudi Arabia has decided to diversify its weapons imports, although the lion's share of it, of course, accounts for American products. Recall that during his first foreign tour, Donald Trump visited Riyadh and agreed on the acquisition of more than $ 100 billion worth of weapons by the Saudis over the course of several years.

          So there is nothing much better.
          The AK-74 is better, of course, but not by much.
          For the AK-101 series, the line is not worth it. And there are a lot of reasons for this.
          I don't think they will buy the AK-103 either. They’ll get some money, bargain for a discount on the S-400, and then “change their minds”.

              The Czechs had their own original CZ Sa vz. 58; he had nothing to do with AK from the word at all. Even stores are not interchangeable.
              And so - it seems to be generally accepted that the best at the moment is the Bulgarian AK, with a milled reserver. The worst - somewhere in Africa planed, according to the DPRK technology.

        Perfect solution! For the director of a private production or company whose purpose is solely profit! But in the case of the government, whose goal is to ensure a decent level of its population, it’s not very good .. Passing money in your pocket is not the same as industrial planning and ensuring the country's employment for the future. For some reason, even in India they understand this when they try to buy, only with the condition of transferring not so much technology as the possibility of production in their own country. Well, they don’t know how to do it themselves .. Well, it happens. At least for the money they are trying to buy work for their people!

      Can you immediately deliver ISIS?

      Professor, have you forgotten that it is not weapons that kill people? And those who shoot from this weapon. And how do you imagine the process of ensuring "non-deliveries" of AK-103 to barmaley? And who pushed Tavor to the horses?

        That's right, people. Look to what kind of people you sell it to. The main thing has arrived. "And the fact that your weapon is killing you is the details.

            Hmm, I remember an old anecdote from the Arab-Israeli wars. Moshe and Asan fired at each other from the opposing trenches, then Asan fell silent. “What happened Asan, why aren't you shooting?” - Moshe shouts. "Yes cartridges ran out" ... "I can sell! "- shouts Moshe laughing

    No offense. It’s also easier for him.
    For example, he needs to give birth to a weapon for the Venezuelan "opposition". No straining, no weird deals. They simply paid the Saudis, received the goods, and transported them to the scene. New, with 100% of the resource ...

    that's all the same, only with another manufacturer, from an American or Bulgarian factory

      If the design does not affect the performance characteristics, then why splurge on it? Those with TTX problems, of course, they are forced to engage in design in order to at least sell something. And AK and AK-74 are good enough and so on.

        design affects commercial appeal, and this sales is money in the budget. In addition, the design of the weapon is not some beautiful ribbons on the butt, but improved ergonomics, improved additions that make it easy to use this weapon. AK Alfa is made in the classic Soviet caliber of 7,62x39 mm, the main internal nodes are borrowed from the Soviet AKM, but the design is sustained in the spirit of the latest trends of the western “shooter”. The influence of "160st century rifles", such as the FN SCAR (developed by FN Herstal for special units of the USA) or the Beretta ARX-XNUMX, is clearly visible.

        The AK Alfa receiver is made using polymers and consists of two parts connected by a hinge (similar to the American rifle AR-15 / M-16). The Picatinny rail is integrated in the upper part for the installation of optical and collimator sights and other equipment. The fuse lever and shutter handle are double-sided. The plastic butt is adjustable in height and length, a sealed compartment for storing batteries is provided ..

    Russia and Saudi Arabia are ready for the next phase of military-technical cooperation. This stage consists in creating the production of Kalashnikov assault rifles for the needs of both Saudi Arabia itself and other countries in the region.

    Your creations are miraculous, Lord ... The whole future of Middle East NATO will run with the Russian AK, our senior comrades have to localize the production of AK in Iran and go buy popcorn ...

    Localization of production in Saudi Arabia will not change the number of "leftists". But the number of jobs in the joint-stock company Concern Kalashnikov may be reduced. The desire of any shareholder to increase dividend income is always realized through cost reduction. And this means that, according to the Kalashnikov economists, it is cheaper to invest in the creation of new production in the antagonist country than to expand production in their own country. Nothing new - just business.
