It is emphasized that the new AK-12 assault rifles have increased barrel wear resistance due to new technologies used by the manufacturer.

This certainly suggests that Russia is concentrating its troops on the border with Ukraine!

[Anarchist]

What do you mean? I noticed a little different.

In total, within the framework of a three-year contract, more than 150 thousand AK-12 and AK-15 assault rifles are to be supplied to the Russian Armed Forces.

It will not be enough. Our army is about 10 times larger. Plus, something needs to be placed in the NZ too.
But I think there will be more contracts ...

[SaLaR]

And where did AEK-971 (5,45 mm) and AEK-973 (7,62 mm) go ... Silence ...

Do you need it? After five thousand shots, the mechanic begins to seize, after five hundred, it is necessary to wipe off the soot and the lag when firing, after 10000 it is necessary to change the mechanics ...

Have you ever wondered why this is so? Maybe because it is much more complicated than an ordinary Kalash? Well, yes, accurate and heaped weapons always have serious flaws in the reliability of the automation, but the special forces receive a decent apparatus, the FSIN and the MTR appreciated

AEK-971 and AEK-973 have long been gone, deeply modernized KORD 6P67 (5.45) and KORD 6P68 (7.62) assault rifles are being delivered to the special army units

[SKVichyakow]

Long time ago, this is when? Some strange story with the "overfitting" of one machine gun, for which the Ministry of Defense fought for a long time, but switched to something completely different, unknown. Don’t you?

Since 2014, the modernized AEK-971 was called A-545, and since 2019 KORD 6P67 (as it was renamed on the ZiD itself). The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation buys small quantities of Kovrov automatic machines due to the fact that 1 - it is expensive and 2 - it is only for special forces.

[SKVichyakow]

Thank you for your help. I didn’t know.

Has anyone heard a kind word about them? Not from the "interested persons", but from the servicemen and specialists who actually took part in their tests and approbations?

[ved_med12]

In December 2017, the board of the Ministry of Defense recommended for adoption both the "Warrior" systems that passed the competition, Kovrov (5,45mm A545 assault rifle and 7,62mm A762 assault rifle) and Izhevsk (Kalashnikov AK-12 and AK-15 assault rifles). At the same time, it was recommended that the Kovrov automatic KORD-5,45 be adopted only for arming special-purpose units and subunits, and the AK-12 and AK-15 for arming all the main branches of the armed forces.

[Thompson]

And why suddenly they shouldn't have gotten away? Or just in spite of ak?
Maybe everyone abroad changes their assault rifles and rifles regularly?

[kytx]

Specialists and maybe even simple mottle shooters will have enough. And the rest can do with simple ak74 :)

Save the Guarantor from such a disaster ...

[Barberry25]

because this is a standard contract - it makes no sense to do it for a longer period - we have already worked out on claims and, for example, offer to take it with a new butt and a new mechanical sight

[Grizli-666]

Our army is about 10 times larger.

Duc is the first order. They will put them on a new contract. In our 80s, all sorts of warehouses in the depths of the USSR were guarded with sks

[I am not a robot]

so in nz already 10 million AKs of the previous series have already been accumulated

At what massively

when the Ministry of Defense received 2,5 thousand new machine guns.

[Normann]

Soon there will be a presentation in Kiev, these "comrades" think so, but the fact that the Russian Federation does not need most of Ukraine is the tenth thing ...

[Seryoga64]

Quote: Normann

these "comrades" think

Are you sure they thought about the outskirts?
They only have their own pocket in their brains

[Normann]

Not all people on the territory of Ukraine are bad, and you call their country an outskirts ((

Quote: Normann

Not all people in Ukraine are bad

I'm not talking about all people, but about the top

and you call their country the outskirts ((

Learn history. At the edge, i.e. Ukraine. Outskirts of Russia

[Normann]

And White Russia is still here ...

Quite rightly noticed !!! After all, everyone has long known that the First Separate Buryat Submarine Armored-Hoofed Division is moving to the border with the extreme first.
The new AK-12 Kalashnikov assault rifle was rearmed by scouts from the combined arms army of the Air Defense Forces, stationed in Buryatia.

[Normann]

But what about the glorious submarine cosmonauts, and even the no less glorious cavalry division)

[YOUR]

The new AK-12 Kalashnikov assault rifle was re-equipped by scouts from the combined arms army of the Air Defense Forces stationed in Buryatia. How many machines in the received batch are not reported

What is there to report. The reconnaissance company was rearmed. How slowly everything goes.

[carstorm 11]

Slowly what? There is a plan. On it and go. Rearmament is not the easiest process

[SKVichyakow]

The periodic advertising of AK is understandable. And where are AEK-971 and AEK-973?

[Thompson]

Read the comments above. there is a simple language all make it clear

[faterdom]

stationed in Buryatia

This clearly threatens the Ukrainian heroes of the ATO, Putin is again concentrating1

[RomanRS]

Much more important is the delivery set of the machine. Namely, the presence of thermal and night sighting systems. How many are supplied? How competitive are they to the sighting systems of a potential enemy, who polls provided and trained not only special forces, but also infantry units to use them? In general, silence on this important issue.
