Russian servicemen will carry out peacekeeping operations with new small arms

Russian peacekeepers are being re-equipped with new AK-12 Kalashnikov assault rifles, the corresponding decision was made by the Ministry of Defense.

The military department decided to re-equip the peacekeeping units with a new machine gun, with the replacement weapons has already started. The first AK-12 assault rifles were received by servicemen of the 15th separate motorized rifle brigade located in the Samara region. As they write "News" with reference to military sources, the brigade received more than one and a half thousand new machine guns.

The next will be re-equipped with AK-12 peacekeeping battalions of the Airborne Forces and marines, as well as medics and sappers. The timing of rearmament is not named, most likely they are associated with the planned arrival of new machine guns in the troops.

As a result, Russian servicemen will carry out peacekeeping operations with new small arms.

According to military experts, this rearmament is aimed not only at providing peacekeepers with reliable weapons, but also at the image of Russian peacekeeping units performing their tasks abroad. Russian servicemen on the territory of other states must be equipped appropriately, since they represent the Russian army. The new AK-12 assault rifle is the best fit for this, according to the Ministry of Defense.

The AK-12 assault rifle was developed as part of the Ratnik program and is included in it as one of the elements of a promising complex for equipping fighters of the RF Armed Forces. It has increased accuracy of fire, barrel survivability and improved ergonomics. It has three firing modes: single, automatic and burst with a two-shot cut-off. A removable muzzle brake-compensator is installed on the weapon, it is possible to install a low-noise and flameless firing device. The buttstock is foldable, adjustable in length, there is a Picatinny rail on the receiver. A 40-mm grenade launcher is installed on the machine.

And where will the AK-308 assault rifle be used ???

[Kayala]

There would be something to apply, and only where to apply it will be found.

[vitinka]

export za rubezh

Yes, if you like - "export", together with our peacekeepers , to the regions of the World that need our presence.

[-Dmitry-]

And where will the AK-308 assault rifle be used ???

This is a purely export version. Not intended for the RF Armed Forces.

[Alexfly]

hahaha, by the way, a very good cartridge .... By the way, is it weak for Kalashnikov's geniuses to fit an AK in 7,62x54R caliber? Or is there not enough substance for such a tin?

[uav80]

VPO-123 has been on sale for more than 10 years, with such a caliber, it makes no sense to shoot in bursts, it's not a machine gun ...
The military was not particularly interested in it, even for the Marxman ...

[Thompson]

... Maybe something to scoff, remember why you switched to an intermediate cartridge, and then a low-pulse one ???
And if they did ... now they would shout - why do we need such a caliber, he can't be kept in the line of fire and about a waste of resources!

[Alexfly]

I mean that the prospects for the development of new "calibers" are zero, Few things are being developed, they will make a bullet, and they scream like about a super-ammunition .... And about the waste of resources, you are right, even SVT was brought to naught during the war ... once again confirms that there is no development ...

[28st region]

Where, where, but not where. This machine was not accepted for service. For the cartridge 7.62 * 51NATO is not in service with our Army.

[alexniko77]

well, doctors and sappers need first of all, who else but them

[Seryoga64]

Yes. They must defend themselves with scalpels and sapper shovels and mine detectors.

[Ripap]

In fact, there is nothing new in it, except for the strap (which is not the toughest part in the AK design - the receiver cover), no one cares about the cutoff of 2 that is not needed, and there are no accessories a la FabDefense. No balanced automation, no slide delay, no convenient controls, all this remained on the prototype of 12 years old .. Besides balanced automation, of course, it was not there either.

In fact, a "brand new" Ak-12 mod 16 can be made from an Ak-74M by simply purchasing a body kit ... All this is the lobby of the Kalashnikov concern. Kovrovsky A-545 surpasses this product in all respects.

[Wolf]

Interestingly, are the A545 and A762 supplied for export?

[I am not a robot]

Well, why produce ak-74 and then add a body kit to it, if you can produce ak-12
ak-12 is quite comfortable
for the slide delay, you need to produce new magazines, and in battle it is a little useless

[Ripap]

And why even produce AK-74, if there are millions of them in warehouses, in oil, not fired. I don't want to wear it. If we are to change the AK-74, then something fundamentally new, significantly superior in performance.

[I am not a robot]

blasters have not yet been invented

[Ripap]

But the A545 was invented. And it has 1,8 times better accuracy during automatic shooting.

[I am not a robot]

but it also costs more, technically more difficult, the A545 shoots more heap but at distances of 200-300 m and the AK-12 is quite accurate.
the factory in the carpet will be able to handle the order of many thousands,
ak-12 further development of ak-74, such as m-4 development of m-16

[Ripap]

I propose, in this case, to return to the good old three-line, it is even simpler and cheaper than Kalashmat. Efficiency, of course, will sag a little, but this is nonsense, in your understanding. And as for the capacities, let them produce them in Izhevsk, since they cannot make their normal modern machine gun, but only coat a construction 70 years ago with whistles.

[I am not a robot]

with a mosinka, the efficiency will drop very significantly, compared with the ak-74,
for reference if you did not know: Mosinka is a rifle with a slow manual reloading, ak-74 automatic machine with a rate of 600v / m

[Ripap]

Well, since an increase in accuracy by 80% is not an argument for you, then a slight decrease in the rate of fire should not be

[I am not a robot]

accuracy for sniper rifles is important, for machine guns it is not very, and at the distances of a real battle the accuracy of the ak-12 is quite enough

[Ripap]

If accuracy is not so important, but only the cost and the ability to produce in the garage are important, then why did the stupid Yankees, instead of copying Kalashmat, so fought for this "unnecessary" accuracy when creating their AR platform?

[I am not a robot]

why should they copy akm if they have their own developers
watch a video from aughanistan (filmed by the marines themselves): 100 super marines, with super heaped M-4 rifles, with super sights, shoot 1000 rounds of ammunition to nowhere, and how accuracy helps.

[Ripap]

I do not want to continue this stupid argument, with this level of your argumentation it is completely meaningless.

[I am not a robot]

so you do not argue at all

[Ripap]

And what is there to argue, any adequate person understands that accuracy is the most important parameter of a weapon system after reliability and rate of fire.

[I am not a robot]

well, how much do you write that the accuracy of the ak-12 is quite enough for solving problems

[Ripap]

I only have 2 questions for you. Have you fired with AK-74M (AK-12 arr 16) with automatic fire and do you really imagine the distance of 300 m? I assure you that from such a distance you will hit the growth target with an AK-74M either only by the first bullet, or by accident.

[I am not a robot]

everyone in our company hit the height 350, and of course only the first bullet hit the target, the rest in the line went up. at such a distance, no machine gun will hit the growth queue with all the bullets
there is a video on YouTube where an athlete shoots a burst of an-94 and there is a big spread

[Ripap]

Here I am about the same, then why write that accuracy is not important. The accuracy is 80% higher, which means that at 100-150 meters (and these are the main distances of modern urban warfare) it will be much easier to hit the target with several bullets when firing bursts. This is a significant advantage.

[I am not a robot]

you will not hit the target with several bullets, shooting in a burst in combat conditions. accuracy is important, but it is not important to switch to a new machine.
Thank you for the interview. we will not prove anything to each other anyway.

[Ripap]

And with what side you dragged the AN-94. He has nothing to do with the matter at all, this is a cuckoo clock and not an automatic machine. And it has a high accuracy only with a cutoff of 2, in a burst the accuracy from it is even lower than from the Ak-74 due to the barrel jerking back and forth.

[Old tanker]

The fact is that accuracy, as a concept, refers not only to burst fire, but also to single fire. Naturally, the parameters will be different.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Is it so? At a distance of 400 meters, I hit a moving group of infantry in a burst, and others hit, who passed perfectly well. Of course, all the bullets will not hit, and if they do, it will not be the first one, but some of the ones in the queue. Burst fire at a moving target is adjusted in the course of firing.

[Ripap]

This is undoubtedly a wonderful and very useful standard. Well, you know, this infantry, don't feed them with bread, let them move in a dense group across the area under fire.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The accuracy and accuracy of the AK-74, as you can see, was enough to hit two moving growth targets at a distance of 400 meters.

[Ripap]

And the 80% higher accuracy of the A545 will increase the effectiveness of the defeat by 10%. Is it bad?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Good accuracy is good, but there is also weight, reliability and ease of construction and maintenance. For myself, I would prefer the A545, but I would like to try it for confidence. What if the advantages are not so convincing compared to the disadvantages?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Are you saying this in all seriousness? But what about the UKS, where there is a target of a moving (attacking) infantry group at a distance of 350-450 m?

[Thompson]

Quote: RipRap

I assure you that from such a distance you will hit the growth target with an AK-74M either only by the first bullet, or by accident.

Ie "m-16" or its castrated last-born "m-4" cope with this task with a bang ???

[Alexfly]

Nope, can't cope in any way, like AK

[-Dmitry-]

But the A545 was invented. And it has 1,8 times better accuracy during automatic shooting.

But as an army machine gun, it is not suitable - it does not reach the reliability of the Kalash.

[Ripap]

He actually passed all the tests, and there were no complaints about reliability. It is certainly slightly less reliable than the AK, simply because there are more moving parts, but its reliability is completely is sufficient.

[-Dmitry-]

Once again - as a massive army machine gun, it is not good. Even the Kovrovites themselves admit this.

"Our products are a little more complicated in design and more expensive to manufacture," explains Makhnin. that the industry has long mastered the Kalashnikov assault rifle - the technology and the series have been debugged.

[WapentakeLokki]

yeah ... it means to use samrt and other gadgets, the average (what a long and complicated word, however) the recruit is quite himself, but to understand the `` well, very difficult '' -ies of the XXth, when for the same average --- tfu-you conscript SVT was unrealistically steep, but the mosinka is just right ... and why lower the pasans to the level of the collective farmers of Comrade Stalin (sorry then the army was driving the seemingly t. Tymoshenko (of course not the great-grandfather of Yulia Vladimirovna T ... although ...) ... but everything is as always in $$$ ... the loot wins ... and now the order sailed away Kalash (for a rollback or something else) and better AEK (which is a fact - it is better at times) or more difficult ... the price of the question is the lives of the guys, but these are such trifles here you need to master the budget ... yeah

[-Dmitry-]

yeah .. it means to use samrt and other gadgets the average (what a long and complicated word, however) the recruit is quite himself and figure it out

The Chukchi is apparently a writer, not a reader - these words were said by the chief designer of the ZID rifle shop.

[Alexander Seklitsky]

The specialists have a Kovrov automatic machine in service. If there is a need for it in large volumes, I think they will. Russia is not at war with anyone now, why does it need a massive complex machine gun now?

[Old tanker]

Can't you specify in which particular military unit of "specialists" there are Kovrov automatic machines? This is the first time I've heard about it.
And I think that while Krivoruchko, the Deputy Minister for Armaments is unlikely to appear. Specialists are already in full swing two. And many are not happy with them. And for example, the commander of the 34th mountain brigade flatly refused them altogether. He left the good old AK-74M in the brigade. Although in terms of weapons, you can call him an innovator rather than a conservative.

[Alexander Seklitsky]

In January 2018, the 6P67 and 6P68 assault rifles were adopted by the Russian Special Operations Forces, while the competing AK-12 and AK-15 assault rifles were adopted as combined arms. According to available data, during the tests, the 6P67 showed, in comparison with the AK-12, about 10% higher efficiency (the probability of hitting a target) at a distance of up to 300 meters, but 10% less efficiency at a distance of more than 300 meters, mainly due to the worse than the AK-12, the accuracy of single shots [14].

[Old tanker]

There is a lot of water, in fact there is no answer.
We have both the BTR-90 "Rostok" and the AN-94 were put into service. Only in any part of the party did not enter. As at the moment, and Kovrov machines.

[Alexander Seklitsky]

Aek 971 was adopted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs back in 1990. In what quantity and in which divisions no one will tell you. If you have not met him personally, this does not mean that he is not. In any case, he is not in single copies.

[Old tanker]

this is from the category: you see a gopher, no? And he is.

[-Dmitry-]

He left the good old AK-74M in the brigade. Although in terms of weapons, you can call him an innovator rather than a conservative.

They say in Moscow hens are milked ...

[-Dmitry-]

In fact, the "brand new" Ak-12 mod 16 can be made from the Ak-74M, simply by purchasing a body kit ...

Firstly, it will not be easy to hang the barrel on the AK-74M. Secondly, do you offer to buy body kits for conscripts for their own money? And thirdly, the cost of the stock AK-12 will be cheaper than the hanging AK-74M. This is not to mention the fact that the weight of the AK-74M will be much more hemorrhoids (the logistics of the AK-74M from the warehouses to the contractor, then the opposite) than to buy new AK-12

[Ripap]

Firstly, it will not be easy to hang the barrel on the AK-74M.

This is true, but in automatic weapons it almost does not matter.

And thirdly, the cost of the stock AK-12 will be cheaper than the hanging AK-74M. This is not to mention the fact that the weight of the AK-74M will be much more hemorrhoids (the logistics of the AK-74M from the warehouses to the contractor, then the opposite) than to buy new AK-12

This is bullshit. The body kit costs well, 10 rubles at most. Wholesale shipping is also not very expensive. No new machine will be cheaper.

[-Dmitry-]

This is bullshit. The body kit costs well, 10 rubles at most. Wholesale shipping is also not very expensive. No new machine will be cheaper.

This is just bullshit.

[Ripap]

I suggest you make an economic justification why installing a new forend, dtk, handle, butt, receiver cover and fuse box on an already finished machine gun will be more expensive than producing a machine gun from scratch with the same body kit.

[-Dmitry-]

I suggest you make an economic justification why installing a new forend, dtk, handle, butt, receiver cover and fuse box on an already finished machine gun will be more expensive than producing a machine gun from scratch with the same body kit.

I suggest you go to the gun store and see all the prices. It is clear that the purchase prices will be cheaper, but the principle will be the same - it will be one and a half times more expensive to weigh the finished machine.

[Ripap]

Eh, that would be to compare the cost of the body kit dumped on the civilian market to make money with the real cost of its mass production at a military plant. There, the cost of all these parts is barely 5000.

[-Dmitry-]

Eh, that would be to compare the cost of the body kit dumped on the civilian market to make money with the real cost of its mass production at a military plant. There, the cost of all these parts is barely 5000.

The order of prices still remains the same. The price will not be like retail, but taking into account everything, it will still be more expensive. It is immediately obvious that you have a very distant idea of ​​production.

[Ripap]

Oh, we've got a manufacturing expert here. ShVK from ShRD then at least distinguish?

Nonsense, because of the notorious balanced automation, the a545 begins to malfunction and delays when firing when more than five hundred rounds of rounds are fired, and after five thousand shots it goes wild, after ten thousand it requires replacing internal parts ...

Again, an advertisement for AK-12 from IZHMASH has gone.

[I am not a robot]

what's the point: re-equip peacekeepers on ak-12 if neither sights, nor flashlights, etc. are used, you can stand at the post with an ak-74

[shpon123]

The question is, which version of the AK 12 is being put into service?
The one with the moronic tubular butt, the whole moronic (thanks to which it was impossible to install the optics normally) and the shitty quality of the metal?
Or the modified ak12 shown by IZHMASH?

[I am not a robot]

than moronic tubular butt
optics are normally placed there, than the rear sight interferes
where did you get the idea that the quality of the metal is poor

[WapentakeLokki]

and what kind of LOCH is it in the title photo ... the index finger is on the descent (and the safety catch is raised) .. the index finger ALWAYS (if this is not a fire mode) should not be on the descent (parallel to the receiver) and this is the first thing that everyone who is taught carries a weapon ... you go in line (column, chain, etc.) UP should not be on the descent ... (stumbled and reflexively killed his comrade) ... and here he is so brave and even in a mask ... clearly a staged photo ...
