A new large-caliber machine gun XADO Snipex Laska K-2 was presented in Ukraine

At the military exhibition held in Kiev "Weapon and security 2021 "Ukrainian company" XADO-Holding "presented a new large-caliber machine gun Snipex Laska K-2.

As stated in the company itself, the developed machine gun chambered for 12,7X108 mm "made a splash." The machine gun is offered to the Ukrainian army as a single one for use both in the infantry version and with installation on armored vehicles and helicopters.

According to the press release, the length of the machine gun is 1840 mm, the mass without the machine is 29 kg, the rate of fire is 500-600 rounds per minute, the sighting range for ground targets is 2000 m, for air targets - 1500 meters. Automation works on the principle of a short barrel stroke with lever accelerators. The barrel is quick-detachable, the number of grooves is 8. It is possible to install various sights thanks to the Picatinny rail.

The machine gun is powered by a belt, depending on the configuration, cartridges can be supplied from both the right and left sides. Plastic tape for 80 rounds.

Here is a question without sarcasm, but well they still will not give up all models of Kalashnikov ??????????????????????????????????????????????

Quote: Alex_You

There is a problem with machine guns

Panheads rather have a problem without machine guns, which they try to solve by copying the good old Browning M2.

[Bobik012]

Was that M-2 ripped off? It turned out easier. Apparently to the detriment of survivability. There, like an imported trunk (they did not master their own).
Or what else was copied? In Singapore, the M-2 seems to have been successfully upgraded, maybe it? Who can enlighten?

from Kalashnikov of all models

Because it is a machine gun, and the Ukrainians did kulemet

company "XADO-Holding"

Is this the one that makes oils for cars?
Trades with the whole world.
And the products are not bad.

Everything is in order there with production.

And it is stupid to throw hats.

Hmm. This is, of course, an indicator. "BP" for some reason does not produce kulemets or "Castrol". Although the products are not bad.

I have a friend as a PNL engineer at a food processing plant ... they produce oil and mayonnaise ..... I'll give him an idea))))

It's funny to watch all these attempts of Ukraine ..))) They had such a military-industrial complex, after the collapse of the USSR, the second army in Europe in terms of armament, huge warehouses of NZ in case of war (for five years of intense hostilities)
Now, they will show a machine gun, then a tank with stupid canopies or a UAV of the level of a circle of pioneers .. All this is shameful, and especially considering that blood is shed in Donbass every day .. The OSCE is not a decree for them.
Nothing filth, I feel the end will come soon and run in different directions ..

That says it all.

[Zaurbek]

They don't have 12.7mm machine guns ...... there are three options:
1. Production of NSVT
2. Browning
3. New ...
There are a lot of cartridges 12.7x108 ...

And another question, how much mass production and who makes the trunks.

[Mountain shooter]

Quote: Zaurbek

And another question, how much mass production and who makes the trunks.

This is the main question! Who supplies the trunks? Maybe, of course, he does, but it is doubtful how that.

[Uncle lee]

Quote: Mountain Shooter

but it is doubtful like that.

This is an addition to the Tuning Fork and the Hammer ...

[Zaurbek]

A machine gun for the army is a mass product .... and the trunks are not needed piecemeal.

[markant1970]

Hadovsky barrels, a production line was purchased, since XADO also produces Snipex sniper rifles

[Zaurbek]

Nowadays 5-axis modern machines do what complicated and expensive production lines used to be for.

[Bobik012]

Hadovsky barrels, a production line was purchased, since XADO also produces Snipex sniper rifles

Come on!? Somewhere it slipped that the bastards were supplied by some office with a German name.
The barrel, of course, is not a turbine blade, but you can't take it and do it like that, especially a machine gun one.Metallurgy needs other competencies.

[Bobik012]

another question is how much mass production and who makes the trunks.

The trunks, it seems, are German (although maybe Austrian or Swiss), but not H&K and not Walter, so, some kind of sharashka

[TermNachTer]

But because the latest Bandera developments are old Soviet designs. Vinnitsa really produces under license, Jewish assault rifles, but the reviews about them in Bandera Waffen are strictly negative. Roofing felts were made either for the Red Army, or the design is like that.

[Alex_You]

Tavor does not want to shoot at any Soviet cartridges. High-quality gunpowder is needed.

[TermNachTer]

Well, they didn't tell me such details, but the conclusions of the l / s who used this Jewish super device can only be written on the fence and only when no one sees.

[Azimuth]

Tavor will not be able to shoot Soviet cartridges. Ukraine bought them in NATO caliber.

[Alex_You]

Maybe, but not sure:

[Basarev]

A copy of Browning. A great achievement - finally mastering the century-old machine gun.

[lynnot]

Rather redesign

[rotmistr60]

machine gun chambered for 12,7X108 mm "made a splash"

Who has a sensation? Probably the Americans when they saw their machine gun a little in a new design. This is probably why

the machine gun can be quickly converted to fire NATO standard cartridges, in particular - .50BMG (12,7 × 99)

[Ruslan Sulima]

VO, will you advertise the development of weapons for a long time, which boys with smiling faces will shoot at us?
Why am I, the Ukrainian lobby has already been screwed up .... Damn, it is better to write about the execution of the Minsk people than about the preparation for war, our nerves are not iron.

Are you sure that "it" will shoot? If "you can quickly re-equip under NATO patrons", then even more so, it will shoot like in the Wedding in Malinovka

[Ruslan Sulima]

There is no need to be indignant. Just skip the article and don't open it, take care of your nervous system. Each user chooses for himself what to read on VO. If you adapt to the desires of everyone, then the site can be closed.

[Ruslan Sulima]

Each user chooses for himself,

Yes, it is, I do not want to see what they are going to use to kill my family, me. I want to see new weapons that I can use to protect my family and not die myself.

This is enough here too. Choose what to read and what to ignore.

A potential adversary needs to be studied. And one cannot but underestimate, and in order to evaluate the information itself, you need to be involved in this issue.

Come on, all the military equipment in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, supplied by other states, has been studied.
Something as trophies, most of it was bought) Potential enemy is not studied by VO)

[Luty]

Regretfully, but I do not share your optimism.

[Zaurbek]

Browning under our patron is at least interesting!

[hagen]

Quote: Ruslan Sulima

Stupid question. If the weapon of a potential adversary is not discussed here, on military review, then what is appropriate in your understanding here? Only pension reform will remain And then, advertising is a product for attracting potential buyers. Where did you see the buyers of machine guns here? I think it is useful to know that not everything has fallen apart in the enemy's camp. Underestimating the enemy is the worst of evils.

[Ruslan Sulima]

Stupid question. E

The smartest answer)
Once again, I repeat, those who need to study the enemy's weapons in the field, feel them with their fingers) And if everything is wanted and how it will ever be done on the basis of funny pictures in detail, it will be completely seams)
And it's not about underestimating the enemy, believe me, I don't suffer from this, that's why I'm alive, probably) The point is precisely in an attempt to praise Ukrvoenprom on the part of the VO, although I don't understand who needs such advertising here, the target audience is still not the same)

[Cat Alexandrovich]

Made a splash !!!
Now the whole world will talk about this for a year! Looks like a noble machine!

[Rudauto]

"Khado is a Ukrainian company, a manufacturer of machine oils, lubricants, oil additives, auto chemistry."
Wikipedia definition. The company was constantly repackaging the oil, and without departing from tradition, repackaged the machine gun.

[From Tomsk]

Previously, Ukraine itself could provide at least someone with military assistance, but today they throw handouts to it, like a mangy dog ​​.. And they call it peremoga))) PPC degradation ... from space exploration to feudal labor on foreign plantations - peremoga)))

by the way, the Merikatos, after the meeting of the Darkest One with the can, suspended the help unnecessary in the amount of 100 lyam greens for military needs. Zrada, damn them!

[Slobodskoy]

I have to disappoint - the Americans themselves denied it. So it's a fake.

[sabakina]

Sheriff, Psaki has already denied. The entire amount has been paid. BUT!!! They have "reserves" in the event of further "aggression" by the Russian Federation. I'm going to "occupy" the trash heap, garbage bags have long been asking for action!

[aszzz888]

So yes - psaki was noted for these lards, looked in the internet. Let's hope that they will be stretched along the road.

[konstantin68]

Wow! And what about the Soviet ammunition then? Not otherwise, again the story with Shavyrin's mortar repeats itself

[AB]

It was already. It will turn out like in a Wedding in Malinovka ...

[family tree]

ABOUT! M2 mastered. I wonder how you saved seven kg?
Although, there is room for improvement. Cord 25,5kg.
But the sighting range of 2000 is, yes, impressive. All enemy snipers, in one burst!

Something this blasphemy on Browning is very similar. Have the partners adjusted the drawings?

[CommanderDIVA]

Kharkov "Khado" is the official supplier of oils and lubricants to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we have their car oils on the market in Russia, there is some kind of additive in oils, their author's trick, earlier this company presented an anti-material sniper rifle, in my opinion, in a caliber of 12,7 mm , there is already a machine gun, progress on the face of the Ukrainians, the ribbon is interesting, crumbly, probably, like the NATO?

I'm not sure, it's more likely that there is simply no money for other models yet, how will they appear, and I will refuse

[voyaka uh]

Browning 0.5 for comparison

[Vovk]

I wonder how the plastic tape behaves under this machine gun in the heat and cold, its dimensions do not float?

[Prisoner]

Any machine gun as long as it's not a machine gun sucks and bullshit! Humble your neighbors, you are losers.

[Burtas]

Again they ripped off someone ... Slavic Chinese-present

[Rudauto]

Hado packs Dutch oil by adding his own additive. Made in Holand is very clearly visible on the canister. So the experience of "new" packages is great.

[Eug]

XADO has made a name for itself by restoring the characteristics of rubbing surfaces by means of special chemical additives-reducing agents in lubricants. The main area of ​​application is weaponry and internal combustion engines. Serious attention is paid to the arms business, judging by the reviews of the workers - the technological discipline is observed very strictly. Their shooting range is also quite good. Now you can hire people of any qualifications, if it is not a problem to purchase equipment well. So if there is an order, I think it will come out well, the design and technological obstacles are known and surmountable. An example is the helicopter blades produced by Motor Sich, how many years was the monopoly of the Russian Federation, and the Americans sold a 3D printer - and please. So the main question, as for me, is who will buy this machine gun ...

[senima56]

Interesting machine. Liked the plastic tape.

[Nord11]

A common thing, the idea was stolen from someone, it was implemented crookedly and obliquely, it is not undoubtedly overwhelming on the face.

[Azimuth]

This kule-meth, God forgive me, is a reason to think well, and not be mocking ...
Another proof is that Ukraine is methodically preparing for war and there will be war.
Ukrainians stumble a lot while mastering new systems of weapons for their industry, but without this in any way, everyone goes through this, and by the way we are no exception.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are increasing their capabilities and level of training, they have their own school and receive significant help from the Americans and their allies. The first war for the Ukrainians was like the first Chechen company for us, but now their army has changed and significantly, like ours in its time.
So I do not share the condescending and capricious moods of some. The second war will be qualitatively different, the Ukrainians will not allow us a lot, they will not allow technology either. Open tomorrow any of our batteries or battalions fire on targets on their territory and they will be shown and destroyed live just like the Armenian Elbrus / SCAD by Azerbaijanis on the territory of Armenia. It is no coincidence that I mentioned the recent war in Karabakh - Ukrainians undergo the same training as Azerbaijanis, accumulate the same experience, stake on the same techniques and technologies. And the forces formally DPR / LPR are much weaker than the Armed Forces of Armenia, and we, I repeat, will have a narrow corridor for maneuver. If, as in the first war, we do not go to the introduction of regular troops, the Ukrainians will quickly solve the problem and reach the border. And if we go to the introduction of troops, then if in the first war, do not return the permission of the Council of the Fed to the GDP, we would have been greeted with flowers, but now they will be greeted with RPGs and ATGMs around every corner.

[Der Spiegel]

strange, only one minus to such an unpatriotic comment ...

[Igor Ushakov]

Another proof is that Ukraine is methodically preparing for war and there will be war.

it is not yet a fact, arming and training personnel is one thing, the real will of politicians and the determination of the generals is quite another.
The first war happened, or rather passed from the stage of the "war of checkpoints", when Geleta and several other generals persuaded Poroshenko to interrupt the negotiations that had begun and use the force option.
Now it is felt that the lesson of panic after Ilovaisk has been forgotten, but the generals are still the same cowardly and vain bureaucrats of peacetime.

 And if we go to the introduction of troops, then if in the first war, do not return the permission of the Council of the Fed to GDP, we would have been greeted with flowers, but now they will be greeted with RPGs and ATGMs around every corner.

I would not be so categorical, there are fewer sympathizers of Russia, but their number, at least in my Odessa, is still significant. But, on the other hand, according to the sensations, there are much less passionaries, govs and armed struggle, on either side. Negative social selection, general decay from the surrounding hopelessness, and liberal values ​​taking root.

[Yellow bubble]

Dreamer!!!

[Igor Ushakov]

Yes, I am like this! My entire biography is proof of this.

[2112vda]

The designers are great. They chose the most rational scheme of a large-caliber machine gun, used Stechkin's developments (the design of a compact machine gun with automatic recoil and a piston bolt with a rotating barrel). This sample is not Browning at all by design, of course, there is a lever accelerator. So, laughter is not appropriate here, the design is competitive after appropriate refinement.

[Yellow bubble]

Homemade, scatter horror, rate of fire is small and weight is not small !!!

[2112vda]

Quote: Yellow bubble

rate of fire is low

Why does an infantry machine gun need an aviation rate of fire? These weapons have different missions. If you really want to raise the rate of fire so badly, put a muzzle device, then hit the gas piston like a Vladimirov machine gun. But why is it? Browning and without this "device" shoot pretty well soon already as 100 years will be. Now some are laughing, as if they would not have to cry later. They will bring the machine gun, they are actively preparing for war.

[Vyacheslav Filimonov]

Let's remember the first Chechen war, heavy machine guns were scraped off from all over the country. How the first war went and how the second went. So they did not master the first, if there is a second, then it will be completely different. And to underestimate, at all, they shouldn't be, there were smart minds working there, and they still are and will be, for a good salary they will do everything they are ordered. They have a lot of work from the USSR.

[Bobik012]

smart heads worked there

That's it, worked... No one is there now. Technologies are worn out, competencies are lost. I personally don't know about others, but in 2008 I had the opportunity to face the situation at the Malyshev plant. Half of the products are defective, so this is the product that was mastered under the Soviet Union, but the new one is generally horrible! Worse than the Chinese! Now the latter have fled. Imported parts can serve in this device, but what they make themselves is good if for a week.

[Sasha from Uralmash]

What great news! More good news on B, O. Ugh on them!

[Bobik012]

So what, these copies, now half of the world is using

Half of the world uses Chinese DShK! And M-2 is only in Nat and satellites, and even then not from a good life, they simply cannot invent a normal new machine gun in any way. Those who could use their own. M-2 is fifty years old. The Merikos are periodically trying to replace it, only it turns out crap. That is why he is forever alive

[Bobik012]

Quote: 2112vda

Chose the most rational scheme

I apologize to ask what the design is, there is no information at all in the available sources. Some have songs about a wunderwaffe, others have humorous laughter, but in the case, nothing. Enlighten who's construction has been torn off. I'm not mocking, really interesting

[Bobik012]

Quote: Azimuth

Uh ... well, and then a lot of bukaf ...

no matter how much you say "halva" ....
Your training manual does not reflect reality, everything is not the way your curators convince us ...
Azerbaijan beat Armenia, with permission from the Kremlin, as Pashinyan beguiled the coast. At one time, in the 94th year, Azerbaijan received for the same reasons.
The same is in Donbass. We decided in 14 year not to enter Mariupol and did not enter (I don’t know why, maybe what kind of geopolitics). Then they decided to take Debaltseve - they took it. That right now with Biden decided, honestly, HZ. Ukraine is a spent resource, and could have been given in exchange for a position on China and Iran. It is not in Kiev that they decide who will attack in Donbas. By the way, the reverse exchange is not excluded - like: Take all of Ukraine (except for Crimea, of course), and leave Syria to us.
So voice your spells on Ukrainian resources, there you will find a more grateful contingent :-)
