Announced the arrival of a new PPK-20 submachine gun and a microwave sniper rifle to the troops

The newest Russian submachine gun PPK-20, developed by the Kalashnikov concern, will begin to enter the Russian troops this year. This was announced by the President of JSC Concern Kalashnikov Alan Lushnikov.

Russian troops this year will receive the latest PPK-20 submachine gun and a new SVCh sniper rifle, created to replace the already obsolete SVD. Lushnikov did not give a more precise date, confining himself to a statement of fact.



The PPK-20 submachine gun will go to the troops this year. We believe that this is the best submachine gun in the world for the next 20 years (...) The microwave will already be delivered this year

- said the president of the concern.

The PPK-20 submachine gun was developed as part of the Vityaz-MO development work (ROC) on the basis of the Vityaz-SN PP, which has been serially produced since 2005, taking into account the comments and shortcomings identified during its operation. The official name of the new weapons sounds like: "9 mm Kalashnikov submachine gun PPK-20". Total length - 600-660 mm, weight without ammunition - 2,7 kg, barrel length 182 mm, cartridge - 9x19 Luger, magazine capacity - 30 rounds.

The new Chukavin sniper rifle (SHCh) was developed by the Kalashnikov concern on the instructions of the Ministry of Defense to replace the outdated Dragunov sniper rifle (SVD). For the first time the microwave oven was shown to the public in 2017 at the Army-2017 forum. The rifle was originally available in three calibers - 7,62x54R, 7,62x51 NATO (also known as .308 Win), and .338 Lapua Magnum (8,6x70 mm). At the same time, in the 7,62x54R caliber, the microwave rifle is fully compatible with magazines from the SVD sniper rifle.

Microwave length, depending on the version, ranges from 995 to 1015 millimeters, and the mass is 4,2 kilograms with an empty magazine and a mounted optical sight. The weapon is equipped with a barrel length of 410 millimeters. The microwave has an aiming range of 1200 meters.

          That's right, a heavy and healthy fool under a weak cartridge seems to be considered a masterpiece. No, in the police or police SPN it can and will do, anti-ricochet and a short range there, but not in the same size and weight! And as an army, even personal self-defense - pure lobbying to the detriment of the army.

      Are you sure about that? Read or look about the Lebedev pistol and the range of cartridges for it, the pistol has a muzzle energy of 620J, the PM 330, besides, the barrel of the PP should be longer, respectively, and the energy will be higher

        15 August 2022 07: 02
        I always considered muzzle energy to be a characteristic of a cartridge or bullet, but not a type of weapon. It is clear that it is related to the length of the barrel (the energy of the bullet at the time of leaving the barrel depends on its length, but nevertheless). What do you think the effective firing range of the ARMY PP is needed for and what range can the 9x19 cartridge provide? For a pistol with its real range of 25-35-50 meters - one thing, but for an army PP?

        There was at one time the strongest pistol cartridge 7,62x25. It could even be considered, with some stretch, an intermediate cartridge. But they refused. Of course, for police needs, the penetrating ability is too strong, despite the fact that the stopping power is rather weak. But for the military, that's it.

        Well, we love good news, I'm only FOR! (statements - there are already questions ...).
        By the way, can someone clarify (?) - why is SVD outdated? Well, specifically? ... Weight, accuracy, ergonomics ...

          By the way, can someone clarify (?) - why is SVD outdated? Well, specifically? ... Weight, accuracy, ergonomics ...

          The design of the SVK is modern.
          The design of the rifle implies a U-shaped steel receiver, to the bottom of which, with the help of two transverse pins, an aluminum case of the firing mechanism with a magazine receiver is attached. In the receiver, or rather, its upper part, there is a bolt carrier with a rotary bolt having three lugs. The shutter is locked by the front receiver liner, into which the breech breech is pressed. This can be called very conditionally - an upper-lower type design. Forearm hung out (does not touch the barrel) is made of aluminum, with MLOK slots. The Picatinny rail is integrated into the top of the receiver, which is a modern stable platform for mounting any modern sights..
          It is specifically noted that since the disassembly of the rifle is carried out “from below”, by separating the trigger case, then when cleaning and maintaining the weapon, there is no need to remove the sights and they, which is good, keep sighting relative to the barrel.
          ... the declared accuracy of microwave fire ... at 100 meters is 3 cm, for SVD - from 8 to 10 cm.

For a city shooting gallery, for special police units, maybe a microwave, for army dirt, I don’t think that SVD has exhausted its potential. Our buy and sell would not be smart enough to bury the SVD.

      As for "beautiful", so the SVD will be more elegant and beautiful, both in the old "classic" and updated.

          The sight of the Mosin rifle of the 1891 model is stepped, on the rifle of the 1891/30 model it is a sector. The stepped sight consists of two rear sights: the first is used when firing at a distance of 400, 600, 800, 1 and 000 steps; to use the second, you need to raise the aiming bar to a vertical position; it allows you to fire at a distance from 1 to 200 steps.
          The sector sight has only one rear sight, which can be set to any position from 50 to 2000 meters in 50-meter increments.

        Should have done it, but does it? The sniper version of NovoSib did not work out exactly. At least in 2016, when I worked at KBIS, they tried to find this ammunition of our production. We found out that NovoSib does not produce them. It is issued by some darkish desk at the Ulyanovsk PZ. Moreover, the production volumes are small and, according to intelligence data, using imported components. But that was in 2016. What now - I do not know.

    Back in the last millennium, the Soviet Army handed over submachine guns to warehouses and tried to forget them like a bad dream. Effective managers in the 21st century stubbornly continue to sell PP as some kind of miracle weapon for pilots, etc. Amazing stupid stubbornness: advertise weapons of weight and size with a shortening of a modern assault rifle - and shooting like a pestle. That's why this is all, it seems that in the light of current events, not so big resources should be spent on the essentials. For example, attach rusty Mosin rifles in the LDNR troops to the urn and give them at least an SVD with good optics from the bounty of the concern, huh?

      No, well, there is some kind of niche, probably, but not in the army, I agree with you. Plus, a specific sample is a hefty and heavy snag for such a cartridge. Well, the cartridge itself, since when has it been adopted in our Army?

        The cartridge, unfortunately, was accepted long ago and thoroughly. Apparently, the proprietary position of TsNIITOCHMASH in relation to the more promising 9x21 cartridge for Gyurza and Co. had an effect. And about the place of the PP under 9x19 and the like in the army, I think that you are right.

          Makarov and Stechkin use a completely different cartridge. I don’t recall other personal weapons among the pilots. The only plus, and then hypothetical - PBS. Why hypothetical? The pilot does not need to "shoot" someone, if he starts shooting, then he is detected, and in this case firepower decides, for PP it is obviously lower than for machine guns and even personal weapons like P-90 and others. However, options with PBS are possible.

            The pilot's armament kit will include a compact Lebedev pistol chambered for the same cartridge, it is immediately on the pilot (because you still need to get to the machine gun). A normal machine gun does not fit into an ejection seat, the PPS-20 is a replacement for the "Stechkin" and in this form it is very good.

                  And what advantage it gives, it is completely incomprehensible. Are the stores interchangeable? (no) Although if the magazines from the PP are on the vest, and the PP is successfully loved, then yes, you can always quickly, in battle, reload cartridges from one magazine to another. laughing

      A mosquito with a thick long barrel and manual reloading will probably be more accurate than the SVD, especially with good optics. In addition, now no one in the growth of a squad or platoon runs towards a sniper. Automation is not so important here.

    I think the test and combat use of these samples have long passed and I think successfully! And the caliber is not bad, universal, because almost all the PP available in the world use 9x19mm cartridges, the cartridge is powerful, in which case you can use captured ammunition, the same picture with NATO microwave cartridges with a caliber of 7,62x51mm, I can assume that my combat military test these samples did not necessarily go to the NWO, there is also Syria, etc!

    in my opinion, the best PP is the Belgian FN P90, a compact, actually rectangular shape without protruding elements, a magazine for 50 rounds, ejection of cartridge cases down under your feet, and not even ejection, but rather their loss, but the caliber is small, only 5.8 mm, but the bullets are high-speed, which provides good armor - penetration is close to automatic, and the low stopping effect is compensated by a high rate of fire up to 1000 rounds per minute, the only negative is the inconvenient magazine change ...

    Microwave length, depending on the version, ranges from 995 to 1015 millimeters, and the mass is 4,2 kilograms with an empty magazine and a mounted optical sight. The weapon is equipped with a barrel length of 410 millimeters. The microwave has an aiming range of 1200 meters.


    Compare with performance characteristics.RPK-16:
    Caliber - 5,45 mm.
    The cartridge - 5,45x39 mm.
    Weight - 4,5 kg (short barrel version without a magazine, bipod and telescopic sight).
    Barrel length - 415 or 580 mm.
    The length of the weapon (with a barrel 415 mm) - 840-900 mm in a combat position, 650 mm with a folded butt.
    Magazine capacity - 30, 45 cartridges (box) or 95 cartridges (drum).
    Rate of fire - up to 700 rds / min.
    The effective firing range is 600 m (in single-flame mode or in short bursts).
    Single mode is possible from a closed shutter.
    Sight - optical

          You can have a tambourine for 95 rounds, you can have a 4-row one, or you can simply use a machine gun. The cartridge is 5,45x39, with a long barrel of 580 mm, the sound and flash are much less than those of the microwave. And the accuracy at 500 meters, the most running distances, thanks to the thick machine-gun barrel, is better than that of the SVD and, of course, than that of the short-barreled microwave.

              It seems that they have worked out a tambourine, although a tambourine from RPK-74 is also suitable.
              I just wanted to say that the use of this device as a purely sniper, which could replace the SVD in the squad, as it is now fashionable to call the Marskman rifle chambered for mod. 43g. An inconspicuous shot at distances of about 500 meters is worth a lot. A microwave with a rifle cartridge and a 410mm barrel will sound and blaze stronger than large-caliber sniper rifles. Without BPS, I wouldn't want to have it.

      The presence of a regular seat for optics / nightlights / greenhouses in the form of a long bar. To quickly remove / install devices, depending on the need, without shifting the STP. Actually, it’s the same with AK - it’s impossible to reliably attach anything there without a radical change in design. And this is some kind of shame - when everyone sees you at night, and you - no one.

    The length of the microwave barrel is surprising! By definition, a rifle must have a barrel of 500 mm or more. Less is already carbines and machine guns. Even more so with a sniper rifle. You can talk a lot about the design, but it was used back in 1942 in ICD-42 and PPS-42. Later in the West it was repeated, in Russia it was applied only now.
