A batch of modernized machine guns "Pecheneg" entered the combined arms army of the VVO

A batch of modernized Pecheneg machine guns entered service with the combined arms army of the Eastern Military District, stationed in the Amur Region. This was reported by the press service of the district.

The number of machine guns in the party is not named, weapon received under the state defense order. It is noted that after the modernization of the machine gun, it became possible to customize the weapon for a specific soldier, as well as mount various sights and attachments using Picatinny rails.

After the modernization, the light machine gun became more ergonomic, it became possible to customize the machine gun for a specific serviceman, as well as to mount various sighting devices and attachments using the universal mechanism of the Picatinny rail. For the convenience of hand-held shooting, an additional adjustable tactical grip appeared

- said in a statement.

The creation of a modernized version of the Pecheneg machine gun was reported in 2017. The modernization of the machine gun was ordered by the Ministry of Defense, the work was carried out for four years. It is known that titanium is used in the design of the new Pecheneg. The main tasks in creating the new "Pecheneg" were to reduce weight, dimensions and improve ergonomics.

The 7,62 mm Pecheneg light machine gun was developed on the basis of the Kalashnikov machine gun (PKM). Designed to destroy manpower, transport and fire weapons, as well as low-flying air targets. It is produced in basic and in modification for special services with a shortened barrel and a silencer.

The slats were attached and the handle is additional, that's all the modernization ... after a while this handle will be doused with rubber, another modernization ...

[Boris Chernikov]

so machine guns are not even replacing the PKM, but rather even the PC ... in their parts there are still heaps of ... so everything is being done correctly

[Pessimist22]

In general, I think that everyone who served should be given a PC machine gun with ammunition for demobilization.

PK machine gun with ammunition

I support! And with a replaceable barrel!

[rocket757]

And the trunk is a spare WHY? Have they started a war or are they getting it all sorts of different?

[Pessimist22]

The enemy will come, and we have every window, a long-term firing point

[rocket757]

Are they really bad, should I go here?
So there is someone and something to remind ... although, for the most forgetful, it is necessary to arrange a reminder from the graves of those who came earlier! at every border crossing! A very useful sight!
And let the ADVERTISING ROLLER, like, whoever comes to us with a sword ... that we will turn into manure! and graves, burials with crosses more, show more!

The Pecheneg has no spare barrel like the PKM.

I agree on PKM too!

Yes, the machine is good. I would also not mind)))

Were you MOBILIZED to the service or usually called? And you are not demobilized, but an ordinary conscript dismissed from military service ...

Have you served in the army, excuse me?

Dembelya from the troops, in which people are gathered almost by competition, manage to beat each other's "faces" in the fountains from alcoholic intemperance. I can imagine the consequences of the gift offered ... Do you want to reproduce "minute" in each regional center?

Handsome Pecheneg

[Maz]

BC ?: PC 400 in peaceful conditions, the second number is 1x200.
In combat regiments 3x200, the second number is 2x200. If my moronic memory does not change b / c on AK 300 rounds for a machine gun 7,62 1000 (how many of them I don’t remember) ... I’ll tell you so about the machine gun, we ran an ordinary cross for ten as part of the company, and so the machine gunner the six simply died, despite the fact that he was dragging a machine gun without ammunition, without even a box. I had to take the machine gun, one by the barrel, the other by the butt, and the only way, changing, you can quickly move with this bandura. besides, we drove at a shuttle run three hundred on a hundred, or five hundred on a hundred. The thing is good, but 10 kg makes itself felt.

[Alvis07]

I do not understand why they are so worried about these "Picatinny rails"! After all, "Pecheneg" is for arming the combined arms army. What will conscripts or contract soldiers "sculpt" on these "Picatinny" rails? ? Or a Chinese tactical flashlight from aliexpress?
Are there stationary sighting devices and body kit provided by the manufacturer? So use it! Why the heck is that Picatinny rail for a combined arms machine gun?

[Free wind]

Well, now heaps of sights are being released, you will not have a night machine gun for example, the sight has changed and that's it.

[Alvis07]

Do you want to say about the huge variety of night sights for machine guns, that they need a Picatinny rail? Or, is it all the same easier to make a universal, combined-arms hole or a hollow or a plug in a weapon in domestic models of weapons, where to insert those few pribluda for shooting that the army has at its disposal? Why a Picatinny rail? To export weapons to NATO countries? That's just funny.

[Ingenegr]

Throwing the sight on a weapon with a Picatinny rail without losing "zero" is not given to everyone. Even with quick-release fasteners. For reference: the normative requirements for the STP withdrawal on the side bar - no more than 0-00.25, for the Picatinny (data from the manual for the Eotech XPS2 sight) - no more than 2 MOA, which is equivalent to 0-00.6. In reality, when the sights are installed on the Picatinny rail in a different place along the length of the bar, the STP drift can be up to 0-01.5.
Unfortunately, this is a problem only for real users, and not for permanent "approvers" of any, even the most stupid, innovations of modern pests.

[Maz]

During the war, grandfathers shot weapons in advance and made notes, notches, sharpening in places where various devices were precisely installed, so that in battle they did not waste time on zeroing in, fine-tuning, and debugging. Marks on the bar, that's all. Yes, you have to plow, suffer, but otherwise there will be no kin.

[TermNachTer]

My former colleague, after the "term" served as a contract soldier - sniper in the MP of the Northern Fleet. So he had his own sight, although he kept the official one at hand for testing. And I bought cartridges in the store, before my business trip to Chechnya.

This is why, may I ask you? What's wrong with the optics?

[TermNachTer]

What are you asking about? About the one that the Ministry of Defense issues or about the one that you can buy in the store? I spoke for the middle - the end of the 90s, I don’t know now.

[Alvis07]

What shops do you mean? Voentorgi, where do miners buy tanks and air defense systems or aliexpress?
Naturally, I'm talking about the standard equipment from MO! And what is wrong with the standard optics?

[TermNachTer]

I'm not a sniper, I didn't go into details. His staff member was not satisfied with something, he liked the purchased one more.

[Boris Chernikov]

Well, how can you tell .. in parts of it there is simply NO .. but the one that is .. it's easier to hand it over to the warehouse than to shake for it .. and all sorts of thermal imagers / night vision sights are generally a separate conversation .. for understanding, in parts combat readiness, double bass fighters buy their own uniforms so that it is more convenient to train in it, and they take better ones for combat. the uniform from Ratnik is for "ostentatious" performances .. because if the uniform does not look very good at the show, the authorities will force their brains .. and they need it?

[Boris Chernikov]

well, the PKP will most likely creep out among the reconnaissance and special forces in the first place, and let's hope that the native MO will still give birth to optics ... and the handles are needed in the obligatory

[Free wind]

Weight with full equipment is more than 10 kg, it's hard to shoot from hands. An interesting machine gun, of course.

[Kot_Kuzya]

Why should you shoot from it? The Pecheneg is not a handbrake, and even less an automatic machine, to fire from hands - only to scare the crows.

But I had to And standing out of the window, and sitting around the corner.

[Boris Chernikov]

the main thing is to be able, but there is an application

[Kot_Kuzya]

Instead of the PKK, it is necessary to introduce Pecheneg into each department. Moreover, in modern armies, including in Russia, the infantry travels on armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, and therefore soldiers do not need to carry a heavy machine gun and ammunition on their humps, as it was before in rifle units.

In war, according to everyone, the soldier and his feet will have to trample and drag on himself from the heart. Sometimes it’s hard to lift, let alone drag.

An adult man, and even a serviceman, that is, it is understood that he is not disabled, will not be able to lift a machine gun weighing 10 kg?

For the machine gun, more cartridges would not be useless.

[Kot_Kuzya]

Can't an armored personnel carrier or an infantry fighting vehicle carry a thousand rounds for the Pecheneg?

[Alex777]

Will you decide, please: do you have an adult man or an armored personnel carrier?

[Kot_Kuzya]

Will you please decide whether motorized riflemen are fighting now, or do you think the infantry is walking?

Not only on foot, but also by running and crawling, and in some places also by swimming.

At the exit to the machine gun, the "man" pulls two more boxes of "hundred parts", each of which weighs another 3500 grams, two offensive plus two defensive grenades - another 1800 grams, in the RD-shke there are three more rounds in ribbons - that's about 8000 grams , plus water and some dry ration - another 1500 ... 2000 grams. So "thirty" sticks at least to personal weight. This is, once again, the minimum.
It's not all that fun, is it?

[Kot_Kuzya]

You see, about 100 years old, and you served 70-80 years ago in the rifle troops, and not in the MOTO rifle troops, otherwise you would not have written such nonsense.

It is a pity that in July 20 ... during the "races" on the hills and hills, our machine gunner, who was overwhelmed by overstraining, a very physically strong and hardy man, did not know about this. It would be much easier for him, probably.

[Uncle Vanya Susanin]

Apparently, a hefty secret apparatus that even normal photos did not spread, keep it up

[NDR-791]

... the work took four years.
This is innovation !!!! In two hours I put all the pleasures on my saiga, including titanium ones. Well this is how many machine guns that batch was ??? If Degtyarev and Simonov made their PTRs at such a pace, where would we be now?

[bars1]

The counter of Pechenega was forced-air, sorry for the clumsy expression, barrel cooling, like in Lewis. And with modernization, it seems, they abandoned it.

Why do you think so ?
If the photo for the article is this modernization, then the barrel is just "Pechenegovsky", in a casing ...

Father told me. A company of our soldiers on the march met a platoon of Germans marching towards.
The Germans silently turned around and scrambled to the nearest forest. Ours from surprise rushed after them, firing on the move from machine guns.
The Germans made a noise, but did not shoot, and they ran to the forest, not one fell
But if our people had stayed in place and would have fired at the Germans from all 9 DPs and from almost a hundred submachine guns, then few of that platoon would have escaped.
