Sense? Corruption ... nothing new ...

You are, of course, an expert in such matters. I’m looking, everybody is stealing everything on any topic, but when it comes to the West, you’re starting to lick furiously ...
Such a typical "Russians";)

[Monar]

Really. What's the point? More AK-47 in warehouses did not end ....

[Sergeantpro]

The AK-47 was never in service with the USSR Ministry of Defense or any other departments. Teach a materiel.

[Monar]

From thanks. Enlightened. You still specify that the AK-47 in general did not exist in nature. It was just AK.
But you did not answer the question. What for a new machine, if all the warehouses with old ones have not been selected yet?

[Sergeantpro]

Yeah. I should have given you the money. Or, to the extreme, pensioners.

[Pessimist22]

And why on AK 12 - 15 so much money swelled if this AK 74m is practically no different?

But I noticed on the contrary ...

[Konatantin 1992]

Not you alone))) now VO shares the "policy" and "official versions" of our government and various departments, and everything is good in Russia and there is no corruption anywhere, and IKHTAMNET and everything like that))) there is one moderator here - it drove My friend))) svp67 like, here he is definitely from the YOUNG GUARD OF THE KERNEL)))

[Jamuqa]

I kept it on Army-2019, it's still far from an AK-12. Taking into account the fact that there is practically no airborne forces in the Central Military District (namely, they seem to be armed with new AKs), these, for a while until the complete rearmament takes place, will completely disappear. Especially considering how many 74 were released.

[aws4]

so maybe then tell me how the AK12 of the second series differs fundamentally from this AK74M in body kit ..?

[g1v2]

And millions of ak74 in warehouses in the furnace? It does not interfere. Sooner or later, stocks of ak74 in warehouses will begin to decrease, and ak12 will come to replace troops and warehouses all this time. Plus there are still supplies to allies and exports.

[Monar]

Can you give more details? How are they practically the same?

[Pessimist22]

Ak 74 barrel length 415 mm, caliber 5,45, the initial velocity of the bullet 910 m / s. Ak 12 barrel length 415 mm, caliber 5,45, the initial velocity of the bullet 910 m / s. Here are all the details.

[Monar]

In your opinion, the whole difference of small arms is reduced to the length of the barrel and the initial velocity of the bullet?

[Horse, people and soul]

And why on AK 12 - 15 so much money swelled if this AK 74m is practically no different?

To be consistent.

And then, after all, the FAB Defense and Magpul are doing the same with Kalash and the Special Forces were the first to buy all this from the bourgeois for their money.

A tepericha this. They will bring weapons in the statutory form, so that all fighters would have a new, but uniform way, without any zoo and old shabby tree.

Well done!

If they do it, it means that there is money for this and this money - it’s not a pity.

[Catfish]

If they do it, it means that there is money for this and this money - it’s not a pity.

It's a pity, and how ... if not in your pocket. Tired of all this "fuss around the sofa" (C), there is nothing new and so far, apparently, is not expected. So there are "dances with tambourines" around the imperishable old man AK.

[Horse, people and soul]

Just in your pocket money. And, after all, they could buy upgrade kits from FAB Defense or from Magpul and, then, then the money would definitely go to our sworn friends.



An imperishable kalashoid is still useful if, by the simple addition of a picatinny rail and a collimator, any fighter immediately begins to hit distances of 300 meters 150% more accurately and faster.

It is worth the money spent. No not like this! The money just was not irretrievably spent and of any good, namely it was spent with a positive result!

[Catfish]

Yes, I'm not the one, I had in mind a specific pocket.

[Horse, people and soul]

And I meant a specific pocket. Specials at their own expense were bought by FAB Defense and Magpul.

And now, with this money, you can buy a new coat for your wife, and the body kit for the machine will be new, standard and issued free of charge from the guns.

[Sergeantpro]

Here, by the way, excellently commented. And along with the kits AK-12/15 will be supplied, which already in stock does not require re-equipment.

[Tank hard]

With such pomp this small improvement of the design is delivered, as if they had made a revolution in the design.

[bessmertniy]

In principle, if improvement allows you to finish one and a half instead of one life, it is really effective. Although the corpse will still be one death or one and a half. A "body kit" is it for fun? Or the names of decent constructors do not come to mind!

Yes, in my opinion, no revolution. They just sent the party to the troops for real tests. They will see how ordinary soldiers will wear it, use it in shooting, clean it, put it in guns. How can this "body kit" hit the back when "on the belt", the shoulder when shooting. Which of these will break, fall off, clog up, break off, rub, or vice versa.
In 86-97, on one of the tank battalions, we also tested new 74 Kalash with plastic (well, definitely not wooden ) butts and forend. They drove the boys to equipment with weapons. And we, as usual, went to the training ground without weapons. Every week, they came to them and made a complete inventory of uniforms, shoes, and weapons. By the way, yes, their uniform then was similar to the Afghan, but spotty. We still went in caps, and they are already in caps. And our overalls were ordinary black. Both summer and winter. And instead of summer blacks, they had yellow ones from some cool fabric, even thicker than tarpaulin, but still flexible. It looks like fabric for the uniform of firefighters, only sand color.

You have a rich imagination. We read two lines and stuck our fantasies on them. Where did you see some kind of "pump" here? The usual message without any enthusiasm, orchestras and pumps (pumps).

[Tank hard]

Quote: Piramidon

Your imagination is rich. Two lines read and stuck to them their fantasies.

Everyone has their own fantasies. Yours, for example, do not interest me at all.

[Sergeantpro]

You are voicing your fantasies here, although they are of no interest to anyone. Then why did you decide that they don’t cram an entire panama in response to you?

[Horse, people and soul]

If every fighter has a collimator and from that moment he immediately becomes 150% more accurate and faster to shoot, then this, of course, is not a revolution.

This is evolution, but very useful.



... plus everything is always ready for TROPHY optics.

[Catfish]

But how! "The advertisement is engine of the trade!"

[Streamil]

Especially hooked

Upgraded weapons can be used at any time

- finally cool! and before Kalash only used during the day, at night did not work
If anyone thought about tracers - shh, not a word, otherwise spoil the whole picture

[aws4]

Yes, only during the day and in good weather .. during the rain, hygroscopic Soviet metal and especially the wooden forend and butt absorbed so much moisture that the average conscript could not lift the machine ... learn the mat part

[Tarasios]

the sight is mounted on the Picatinny rail, which, in turn (judging by the photo and picture, from both sides) is bluntly "nailed" to the receiver cover. Due to the backlash of the cover, the solution is so-so. In the text, something was said about the bracket, but you can't even see it.

[Meliodous]

No, there really is a bracket. One side rests on the butt, the other on the body in the region of the pillar.

[voyaka uh]

An arm over a cover?

[Alex_You]

Something like that.

[voyaka uh]

AND! Thank you for the clarification

[Jamuqa]

on the one I kept at the "Army-2019" in Yekaterinburg, the receiver is fixed to the machine. and this shows the bracket, take a closer look

[twviewer]

take a closer look

[aws4]

is the receiver mounted on the machine?

[Jamuqa]

receiver cover. Attentive you are mine

[aws4]

I'm not yours, fortunately .. I'm copying your text - (on the one I kept at the "Army-2019" in Yekaterinburg, the receiver is fixed on the machine. And you can see the bracket on this, take a closer look) typo say so .. that's it we are people, we are all human, I write illiterately

[Fedorov]

Sorry. Trench wars have already passed the 21st century and all that, but not at all in Donbass. Three months will pass, and my feet are ankle-deep in the mud of the trench. And when a mortar strikes at you or "Acacia is pounding, then you rush your muzzle into the mud as you can with the Automatic, and all the personal belongings on the barrel become useless due to mechanical and mud reasons. Then you stupidly take Any Kalash with an open sight, and you feel calmer.

[Sergeantpro]

Well, the trench wars didn’t pass at all, just many, even with a military education, have no idea what a combined arms battle is and what are the main striking means of motorized rifle units.

[svp67]

Russian Armed Forces continue to receive modernized AK-74M Kalashnikov assault rifles

Sorry, but I'm already confused. But what about the "hundredth", "two hundredth" series of AK, as with the AK-12 and AEK-971? Of course, it is necessary to modernize the old weapon, but simultaneously with the supply of new

[Vadim237]

These go to the Airborne Forces and the Russian Guard, and to the MTR units.

[V1er]

This is the AK-12 of the new version.

[Chever]

This is the AK-12 of the new version

This is not an AK-12

[V1er]

What are the differences?

[Chever]

Quote: V1er

What are the differences?

Well here is the last option of the 12th

[V1er]

Here is the AK74 body kit.

[Mikhalych]

With the Picatinny rail, a bayonet attack can only be worn with gloves.

[Alex_You]

To the bayonet in the 21st century ?! Oh well...

[Berkut24]

In the army, a lot of units are far from the first echelon of defense, so there is nothing surprising. Back in the USSR, motorized rifles were armed with AKMs, while air defense units remained in the AKC. The AKC were in service and in our military school in the late 80s. I got to the training ground as a lieutenant in 1987. More than half of the service weapons of officers and warrant officers were TT.

[senima56]

Excuse me, but you in the Army then changed TT to PM? They didn’t give out "Naganas" in return, even if they were improved ?! And then why was there even a "fence" with AK-12 and 15 ?! Would have carried out another "modernization with the" Body kit "- and that's done ... for another 20-30 years!

[Berkut24]

I served until the 95th. By the 95th changed. We brought PMs of the 60s. By the way, their quality was better than that of the parties of the 70s and 80s. But they were shabby ....

[Sergeantpro]

You didn’t hold the "Body kit" or the AK-12/15, let alone the combat use. They didn't even try it at the shooting range, but you have an opinion.
Offer your vision, design development, new technical solutions for MO. I can even assist in a meeting with representatives of the customer.
Ah, you have nothing to offer? Then what are you commenting on?

[senima56]

And I, for some reason, expected that "the AK-12 will go into service with the Central Military District under the state defense order ...

[Speedy]

Something a lot of criticism. For once, the body kit was called a body kit, the trial operation (judging by the number) in the troops of the modernization kit already available in a large number of machine guns. Just the good news. No more, no less.

[Sergeantpro]

You seem to be here for the first time) On VO news is not for news, but for "experts" to cry and brand, even if they do not understand anything at all. Above, even a pensioner is crying about his pension. How is this news? No way. It's just srach for srach's sake. And no one needs any information.

[Speedy]

I agree. Here, the authors write some articles that are far from a review of military subjects. It is now fashionable to whine and stigmatize both the left and the right.

[infantryman2020]

1) fire translator - old, without ext. protrusions under the index finger;
2) magazine latch - old, not enlarged;
3) collimator - yes, essentially. But this is not strictly related to the implementation of Picatinny rail. It is also necessary to prescribe to each infantryman in the supply standards, to purchase and place in the troops.
The rest, by and large - crap.

[Vadim237]

A good collimator from 30000 worth.

[Sergeantpro]

1. On the translator of fire, a ledge under the index finger is not needed. New translators are evil.
2. The old magazine latch does its job well.
I declare this to you as a very active user.
If this causes difficulties for you, then I have bad news for you.

Sorry, if not on the case, but this is not a rambler, the article on small arms, ak 74, is very different from the 74m, but if you hang a stock, a collimator, a handle for your own ... From 400 m to the chest, 4 cm from around the corner, this is the result.
