The first batch of AK-12 assault rifles entered service with the BBO scouts

The first batch of Kalashnikov AK-12 assault rifles, adopted for service in 2018, entered the Eastern Military District. According to the BBO press service, the reconnaissance units of the combined arms army in the Amur Region will receive new machines.

The first batch of the latest AK-12 Kalashnikov assault rifles entered service with the scouts of the combined arms army of the Eastern Military District in the Amur Region. In the near future, military personnel will carry out sighting and maintenance at combined arms training ranges weapons

- They said in the district, adding that up to this point the AK-12 did not enter the BBO.

As the Ministry of Defense previously reported, the parties of new AK-12 assault rifles received, in particular, special forces brigades in Togliatti and the Krasnodar Territory, as well as the 6th combined-arms army of the Western Military District, and about 1 thousand AK-12 received the First tank army.

According to the plans of the Russian military, in 2020, the armed forces should receive 40 thousand new AK-12 assault rifles.

Recall that the Kalashnikov assault rifles AK-12 (5,45 mm) and AK-15 (7,62 mm), as well as AEK-971 (5,45 mm) and AEK-973 (7,62 mm) were adopted in 2018, after lengthy tests for inclusion in the combat equipment “Warrior”.

The rest of the "body kit" will cost.

[bessmertniy]

However, it is nice that this machine has already reached the east of the country.

[Maz]

And it is interesting why they started with BBO? have something to think about

What is there to think? Because in the BBO there is already such junk left that in other districts it is no longer possible to find. As the butting with China ended, they forgot (scored) on the KDVO (BBO).

Read the article. Put in

As previously reported by the Ministry of Defense, parties of new AK-12 assault rifles received, in particular, special forces brigades in Togliatti and the Krasnodar Territory, as well as the 6th combined-arms army of the Western Military District, and the First Tank Army received about 1 AK-12s.

that up to this point the AK-12 did not enter the BBO.

And how many of them raised the question. Armed with intelligence and that's all.

[figwam]

AK-12 received, in particular, special forces brigades in Togliatti and in the Krasnodar Territory

I wonder why the special forces received AK, not AEK?

[God save the king]

Ak12 in the form that enters the troops, this is all the same ak74m with a body kit.

[Whisper]

Pleasant succession! Everything new is well not forgotten, old! The main thing is that the suit is sitting!

[phair]

Sorry, quick disassembly is not provided. In 18 seconds it will not work :(

[Fibrizio]

What for? I never really understood the assembly / disassembly fetish for a while. With regular care of weapons, motor skills will develop itself.
Strictly speaking, there is no need to get into the gas chamber for rough intermediate cleaning. And as for me - a non-removable tube is good + finally they placed in the form of open sighting ring diopter (or whatever it is called correctly). I had to shoot through him. More effective at times against the background of our classics.

[carstorm 11]

there was one trick in the tsarist army that was not clear to everyone when ordering to show weapons not to give them away but to transfer them to the commander for inspection, while naming the number and year of issue and also taking it back. it’s kind of stupid, but when the officers gradually disappeared after the revolution, those who still remember it noticed that addiction and respect for their rifle fell noticeably) disassembly and assembly for a while are needed more so that the personnel especially at the beginning of the service get used to the weapon and feel it and I knew at the same time in a short time) well, it's like getting used to a gun) to be friends with him you need to hold him in your hands as often as possible even not during firing. or as we were taught, even go to bed with him))) these are all trifles of course, but remove them and you will see the difference)

You know, that's how I `` caught '' my first AKM ... I thought zababony ...

[carstorm 11]

surprised) I thought this tradition was finally buried in the Second World War. although maybe someone traditionally handed over in the officer family.) the dynasties could save a lot of everything old)

[Cowbra]

It's not the same for everybody. In general, of course, it is more correct - a ring sight, a diopter - is somewhat different. In general, through the ring to aim faster, but then to whom more is to their liking. I've never loved them. In a quick way, you aim faster, and accuracy is lame.
And yet, I don’t understand - well, how long have our butt been below even the trunk? I'm not talking about a gas pipe. Throws it up!

[Fibrizio]

The observation is correct. He has a ring diopter sight seems. I looked at the diopter at biathlon and even shot. Let's just say, I did not like, unlike the ring.
On some versions of ak, the butt seems to be raised. But there is still a problem in the removability of the top cover. Until there is no aper and lover (albeit in our manner) the problem of the return line will not be solved.

[Cowbra]

Isn’t it possible to bend the butt?

[Old Michael]

Isn’t it possible to bend the butt?

Easily. Only for the convenience of aiming will have to raise the front sight and rear sight as much. Krakozyabra turns.

[Glory1974]

finally they placed in the form of open sighting ring diopter

you aim faster, but visibility is lame and light affects.
Therefore, even on hunting weapons do not use a diopter.
Prepared shooters prefer classics.

[Mountain shooter]

Now the work has begun for the new AK ... No matter how they tested at the test site, the test site is a test site

[polar fox]

I ask my friends. what for "such a beast" and how he has to "south")))

[Fibrizio]

As far as I understand it, the insider is no different from the antediluvian Soviet version. There are changes 2. There is a bar on the receiver cover + a fixed gas pipe with a plug in front of the machine. All.
Well, to the evil of cheers to the patriots, a plastic butt on a cursed pipe (like the Americans). Now the argument about crushing heads with a butt is less relevant.
I am sure that the parts there are 100% interchangeable. USM, shutter, frame. There is nothing more in it and there is nothing in general =).

As far as I understand

as far as I know, the quality of the post-Soviet has become noticeably worse. Civilian versions are generally sad.

What is wrong with them? 40 thousand shoot. No, if you shoot with bimetal, then as they say with a fool, you can ... and break it.
And the fact that they probably need to be smacked at the beginning is quite possible.

You're wrong.

[Luty]

For quality is true. Otherwise, where would MMG and OKP AK 12 and AK 15 come from. As soon as not culling.

[Fibrizio]

Quote: Luty

Marvel It is even more profitable to manufacture them than the present.
At one time, the Hammer on filthy SHP launched a bunch of excellent Soviet weapons, and most importantly, VPO-136 was cheaper than SHP.

[Luty]

Yes, I believe that in matters of quality, you can fool around and quality control department is not such requirements. Then it's time to do IZHMASH and airsoft options

[Luty]

A Soviet frankly sorry. The quality was super.

[Brigadier]

It would be easier to write - "The first batch tuned AK-74 assault rifles entered service with intelligence officers of the Air Defense Forces "...

At least it would be clear that this is true.

[John22]

It took a long time for the "new" AK to get into the troops. Against the background of its "novelty", the accuracy may improve.

[Thrifty]

You need to create a version with tape power, or with a magazine increased to 50 rounds, to create a magazine for motorized riflemen.

[Carib]

The trunks will no longer be cleaned with sand and broken brick, and the accuracy will increase.

[habaroff.ven]

A window covered with transparent plastic in the upper part of the store to control the consumption of ammunition would not be amiss.

[tax payerschik]

Ak 74 arranged for me. Maybe it's better, well, thank God. Better not worse.

[_Ugene_]

In the United States, tests of the new 7,62 mm armor-piercing cartridge are ongoing. The XM1158 program provides for the development of a cartridge that can hit targets with a higher mortality rate than the currently used cartridges M80A1 and M993.

NATO for 7,62 new armor-piercing makes it "guaranteed to pierce the bulletproof vests of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China" and we go in the opposite direction by 5,45 mm, then we will also massively buy back to 7,62?

[Thrifty]

So we have reserves of 7,62 caliber for a couple of world wars in store.

[_Ugene_]

then why do we buy a "new" machine?

[God save the king]

NATO is not going anywhere and is not going to move.
Just update the arsenal of ammunition as they become obsolete.
All the same, 5,56 × 45 intermediate and 7,62 × 51 rifle for them remain, respectively, 5,45 × 39 and 7,62 × 54 for us.

So, are you happy? What do they say?

[Ustavshiy Shmel]

Xs. Visually observed, did not communicate with the owners. I noticed that the entire regiment was with them, and not a separate unit (RBAT, PP). Collimators through one but

[Ax Matt]

Yes ... How time is running! I remember. as we had just received an AK-74 for zeroing, and for a week with ten men (they took away the CCM for shooting) they fired half to death from morning to evening at the VAP. So, passing by the colonel, he simply did not hear him: ".... to me!" Well, it flew into me then ... And here, you see, AK-12.

Why not? They do not make good buildings from silumin, put expensive imported stuffing and sell for 45-50 thousand. But this must be thought. This is not their method.
