Simply "high-precision weapons of increased caliber", the combination with a high rate of fire makes them somewhat antimaterial.

Anti-material, usually from 12,7 mm, they are also called anti-sniper.

Are the optics too large? Will it give away the sniper's position? I hope night sights come with them too?

[Konnick]

On a sunny day, you can use a lens cap with an aperture of 8-10 mm, such as an external diaphragm, there is no glare. Even the sharpness improves, and at dusk this cap is removed for greater aperture. But in the article there is not a word about optics, if they claim firing distances of both 100 meters and 2 km, then the sight should be with variable magnification. At 100 meters can be shot with an open sight. At such a distance, the SCS penetrates the armored personnel carrier, and some places and the AKM. And why would intelligence have such a gun? The article described its purpose, but not a word about the purpose of the Kord rifle in the reconnaissance unit.

[Zaurbek]

Thermal imagers, it seems, were localized not so long ago .... sights should be.

Quote: Konnick

not a word about the appointment of the Kord rifle in the reconnaissance unit.

If we assume that reconnaissance is used only strictly in accordance with its name and performs tasks perfectly, without revealing itself, then it practically does not need a weapon at all, in fact, it only interferes with walking.
However, in reality, everything is not as it really is. As the practice of our last wars shows, intelligence officers, as one of the most combat-ready guys, are often assigned tasks that are not direct for them, requiring good firepower of the unit. In addition, the reconnaissance, stomping in front of the battle formations, is often the first to fall under enemy fire, and in the mountains it is not always possible to come quickly to the aid of the main forces (for example, in the Second Chechen, near Kharsenoy, 3 of our reconnaissance groups of the 2nd a separate brigade of the special forces of the GRU, marching in the vanguard of the marching guard of the motorized infantry column) And here, too, increased fire capabilities of the unit are required.

[Konnick]

Yes, increased fire capabilities are not required, but mobility and stealth are required to obtain the necessary information - this was intelligence. In February 2000, near Kharsenoy, a tragedy happened, shortly before the tragedy with the Pskov paratroopers. The special forces, although I would not call them scouts, failed everything. They had to check the roads for the patency of equipment. Three groups, heavily loaded with machine guns, grenade launchers, ammunition for all this, thereby increasing the "FIRE CAPABILITIES OF THE UNIT" (how beautiful it sounds, as in the charter), went out on reconnaissance for a week. They did not forget cigarettes, cigarettes in the exploration !!!! but didn't take spare batteries! for walkie-talkies and sleeping bags (February, mountains, forest). What kind of reconnaissance it is, for 3 days they were left without communication. Moreover, for some reason they blew up a truck from a grenade launcher, which was supposed to take a mortar from Kharsenoy, but the scouts did not know about it. It was with this mortar that they were covered when, tired and sick, all three groups gathered in one glade. All ammunition and weapons remained unclaimed, INCREASED FIRING CAPABILITIES were not useful, and the task was not completed. The commanders who sent reconnaissance groups with such an arsenal, but without spare batteries and sleeping bags, presented everyone posthumously (33 people, in my opinion), to the orders, and senior groups, to the title of Hero of Russia, thereby covering themselves from punishment, their fat ass. Why is Kord in a mountain forest, where there is no visibility, there is a need for mobility and secrecy.

increased fire capabilities are not required, but mobility and stealth are required

Providing marching security has long been a typical task of our intelligence. This task is carried out with the aim of preventing sudden contact with the enemy of the main forces. And, often, this is achieved by the fact that it is the marching security that takes on a sudden contact with the enemy. In such a situation, it is necessary to be ready to accept a meeting battle in order to get time to transmit information about the detected enemy to the main forces and to be able to either withdraw or take up defenses before the arrival of those very main forces. And in such a battle, and even in mountainous terrain, a long-range large-caliber sniper rifle will in most cases come in handy.
As for the events I have mentioned, the presence of such weapons at the fighters would give them additional chances for life. This is even without regard to your story about those events. Further. While this is irrelevant, your story about those events is clearly based on unreliable sources. So, the last communication session with the group was in the morning before the tragedy. Yes, and the absence / presence of a walkie-talkie in their fate would not have changed anything, since the neighboring group saw the battle, but received an order to remain in their positions, and help from motorized riflemen, who were promptly informed about what was happening at least by the second group, came only after a few hours when it was already late. According to official testimonies, it was not a mortar, but small arms and grenade launchers that worked on the group. And how does anyone know that some car was going exactly there for a mortar? How to check where the exploded car was going? This is an obvious tale. Etc. etc.

[Konnick]

Stop covering up carelessness with heroism. I wrote - the purpose of the reconnaissance was to check the patency of roads for vehicles. And why should I write about other details of this tragedy. And the vaunted Kord would not help. And the subtleties were, the aircraft controller had a sleeping bag, he went on reconnaissance, and the rest rattled their weapons and teeth from the cold ...
Tell us here about the practical combat use of these super super caramultuks for super super money. Where and how often was this "superweapon" used? And what kind of memory? IT IS NECESSARY FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW - IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO Fight! Did the rifle give you a chance? And their 120mm mines and no chance! You can delicately bypass this topic and gain plus signs for your correctness. Another couch analyst.

Unloading of wounded spirits, etc. were found at the location of the attackers. Those. the fire of the group found its targets. If ours had this rifle in that battle, it would definitely help, at least, to increase the number of casualties among the attackers.

Quote: Konnick

suddenly others will think

For a start, you yourself think. The radios were enough for 8 days. One of the two survivors is a radio operator, he unequivocally claims that he went on the air that morning and that the radio still had a charge for an urgent broadcast, if such a group needed it. Human strength was not enough. To prevent this from happening again, it is necessary to set real tasks for people and competently plan the actions of the units. In this case, nothing at all grew together - the column was delayed (they did not take into account when planning that in winter there is snow in the mountains in winter - from a great mind), because of this, the group had to work much longer than planned, and then the group went to the place, where they promised to change it, but the head patrol of motorized riflemen was almost a day late to the point of group change, and at the end of these suioks they killed it. The group weakened and relaxed, not because they did not carry sleeping bags with them, but because they performed the task for an extremely long time for those conditions, and in the end they were reassured by the imminent change, besides, there were already people around.

Well what can I say? this rifle will be in the same place as su57, mig35, t14 and everything else that we have good. However, if in our mercantile Russia we make a rifle not a weapon of defense of the Fatherland, but a commodity for sale, then it will go, maybe because the rifle market is overcrowded.

The article does not specifically mention the 34th MRBR. (d) ... here, after all, the Empireists can sit!

As for the 34th Mountain Brigade, for the entire period of its existence, its fighters, fortunately, have not yet had to take part in real hostilities, although during the war in South Ossetia, mountain special forces units were fully prepared to repel enemy attacks, being at the Marukh and Klukhor passes.
The 34th brigade includes: the 1001st and 1021st motorized rifle separate mountain battalions, the 491st howitzer separate self-propelled artillery division, 1199th Reconnaissance Separate Mountain Battalion, an anti-aircraft missile artillery battery and a communications battalion, an electronic warfare company and engineers-sappers, a repair company and a software company, a medical company, a RChBZ platoon and a commandant platoon, VUNRO and VUNA, a military orchestra and printing house, a command department, a training ground.
In addition, management decided to completely abandon donkeys and mules and purchase local horse breeds.

Just do not understand why AK74K Body kit, and not AK 12/15?

Old AK-74K ... I don't know what I'm talking about at all, the author probably meant AK of the hundredth series ...

The last model of the "hundredth" series - AK103-3, which is, in fact, the beginning of the "two hundredth" AK series, stands apart.

Caliber - 7,62x39 mm, metric parameters are similar to AK103, the weight is slightly higher. The shape of the pistol grip has been changed to a more convenient one, the fuse is duplicated with a button. A Picatinny rail is mounted on the top of the receiver cover of a different type of fixation (for attaching various sights), there are also "rails" on the forend (for flashlights, LCC, front handles, etc.). Complete with folding bipods installed on the fore-end.
The next logical step in the modernization of the AK was to be ak-12, but in fact, according to experts, "the child turned out to be stillborn", the project essentially failed, so we will not focus on it.
