The Kalashnikov Concern presented a new shortened version of the AK-19 assault rifle chambered for NATO

Concern "Kalashnikov" has developed a shortened version of the AK-19 assault rifle chambered for NATO caliber 5,56x45 mm, weapon presented within the framework of the international forum "Army-2023".

The new AK-19 assault rifle was developed on the basis of the AK-12 for the "Western" caliber of 5,56 mm. As stated in the concern, the weapon is intended for delivery to foreign customers whose armies use the 5,56X45 mm NATO caliber. The assault rifle is the latest export model of the Kalashnikov assault rifle, distinguished by well-thought-out ergonomics, increased accuracy and accuracy of fire. Designed for XNUMX/XNUMX use.

The new version of the AK-19 weighs 3 kg, has a folding buttstock adjustable in length, a new ergonomic handle, a Picatinny rail on the receiver cover allows you to install all types of sights, and Picatinny rails are located on the forearm of the weapon, which allows you to install various attachments. The AK-19 has a new design diopter sight and a quick-detachable device for silent and flameless firing.

The 5,56 mm AK-19 Kalashnikov assault rifle is the latest export model of the Kalashnikov assault rifle, designed for the 5.56x45 mm cartridge (adopted by NATO countries and widely used in the world). This model is the pinnacle of the development of the AK system and differs from previous generations in thoughtful ergonomics, adaptation to all-day use and increased accuracy and accuracy of fire.

- says the Kalashnikov website.

Earlier, the concern reported that the AK-12 assault rifle adopted by the Russian army was finalized taking into account the experience of using it in a special operation and the comments of the military.

What are you. Finally, among the managers of the Kalashnikov concern, the machine gun reached the previously unsurpassed level of all-day operation that the club of the Pithecanthropus had.
And since all these clubs have rotted long ago, it is natural to analogo!

That's it, we have the third part at the front with AKMs of the 70s of release, and here (and being under sanctions) they are doing all sorts of stray for "partner" armies ...

[akropin]

In an interview with Struna, he said that during the capture of Mariupol there was a problem with the bars on the 1st floors. So 7.62 took out the grille mounts, and 5.45 ricocheted. I mean, AKM isn't that bad. Everything from the assigned tasks.

The Nazis have been fighting for 9+ years on Russian oil, Russian diesel, on Russian money from the transit of oil, gas, ammonia, on loans from "Russian" banks and reparations / fines "due to the difficult economic situation" of the used fascist regime.
Okay, they would say that for the use of captured NATO ammunition.

I got ahead of myself. Actually a funny situation.
All over the world, all weapons manufacturers are trying to make sure that their weapons and their own "consumables" are used. And only here they try to sit with two asses on three chairs. Are we going to sell them to NATO so that they can kill our soldiers with them? I did not confuse anything?

I would not embroider on trophy cartridges. Sabotage has not yet been canceled. at least minus the barrel and you will get off with fright, and at most you will remain without an arm or life. I don’t know if Kalash or Barnaul Pski itself makes similar stanag 4172. But to shoot hunting is like that + they are just sheathed and heavier - the ballistics is different.

Well, you have to. After all, not from 8-00 to 17-00, but for round-the-clock. What else will marketers come up with to promote the next AK? And by the way, during the CBO AK in .223 caliber, there would be no need to promote.

[al3x]

It works around the clock, but only in shifts two through two.

[Escariot]

I don’t want to choke, but the .223rem and 5.56x45 cartridges are still different due to minor differences in design. Of course, most weapons can use both types of cartridges, but formally it is necessary to write about 5.56x45

Kalashnikov thinks about profit. It wouldn’t be good to arm our reserve and active armies, which need shells, UAVs, etc., so he makes weapons under the NATO cartridge, which we don’t have, but we have on kukarin, so to whom and why does he make new Kalash assault rifles? And this is in a difficult period for the state, when the enemy clung to Harvest. He will sell them at least to Azerbaijan or Turkey, and soon the trunks may be provided to the Armed Forces of Ukraine ...

I understand that sooner or later we will deal with Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states, and the promoted military-industrial complex should supply its products somewhere by this time. It is not for nothing that we are deploying Africa (and this is a huge arms market) under Russia.

Film Brother.
It simply says that we do not have a vision for the future. So I would like NATO as an organization to fall apart, and not to arm itself, apparently Kalashnikov thinks differently. But if NATO destroys us in this war, Kalashnikov will go into oblivion ...
But if NATO collapses, then we need to make sure that the whole world buys our cartridge and our weapons, and not NATO ...
When you need to think about victory, some of us think about cohabitation, all sorts of waiters. Looking forward to living together. And they won't be together. Or we them or they us. This is someone's end.

There are huge stocks of NATO cartridges in the world, even in those countries that are not members of NATO. This is a sales market and maintaining the "brand", that's all. This is direct competition to NATO developers of the rifle.

This problem becomes ours when an excess of weapons for it is added to an excess of cartridges. Creating problems for ourselves is probably the trend of our new time.

Any weapon now supplied to the foreign market will turn against us. They will immediately buy it, bring it to Ukraine and spread it all over the world to stir up popular discontent inside Russia.

[Oleg Ogorod]

And why is it now? Arm NATO?

Earn currency for the owners of the Kalashnikov Concern. It is 75% private enterprise. Conventionally, the state represented by Rostec (Chemezov) is only a quarter there. More recently, there was a scandal that one of the co-owners of the Concern, now the Deputy Minister of Defense, a real state adviser of the 1st class (which corresponds to the rank of army general like Shoigu), who is responsible for the purchase of weapons for the Russian army, after a couple of years in office in the Moscow Region, sold their shares to a certain little-known lawyer Alan Lushnikov (whose last position was Deputy Minister of Transport), who now flaunts everywhere, representing Kalashnikov.
It’s just that some oligarchs don’t want to shine in the defense complex in order not to fall under sanctions, so they resort to such schemes.
By the way, the concerns Technodinamika and Techmash in Rostec are private.
And recently, the banker Kostin was given a "play" in the USC, here you are, feed yourself, build ships and ships.
Can you imagine what money will now go through VTB? The next step will probably be to transfer Roskosmos under the control of PSB bankers.

[dump22]

Conventionally, the state represented by Rostec (Chemezov) is only a quarter there.

I hope you understand that these are just formalities?
Ragozin (he then ruled the military-industrial complex) came up with this scheme with "private shareholders" after 2014 to circumvent the sanctions. Here he is in 2014 and allegedly "privatized" the concern and put Aleksey Krivoruchko as general director there.
And Krivoruchko is a trusted person of Chemezov, this is his own nephew!

little-known lawyer Alan Lushnikov (whose last position was Deputy Minister of Transport),

Lushnikov from the St. Petersburg clan, this is Timchenko's man. Little-known lawyers do not become class A officials at 30.

Good thing it's not a bullpup. A real military man, the son of a friend of mine with the rank of lieutenant, told me that when your spent cartridge case flies 20 cm from your face and the remnants of powder gases and soot fly there, it’s not at all the same. the most that the departure of the sleeve right under the ear and the burning remnants of gunpowder. It may work for a well-polished weapon, but it is not suitable for a real war.

... to use trophy cartridges) but this is not accurate

Many of our small arms models have modifications for imported (NATO) AK hundredth and 200 hundredth series ammunition, KORDs. This is done, among other things, in order to expand the sales market and reduce the cost of production by increasing production volumes. Moreover, these modifications were officially adopted by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, because. potential buyers put such a condition.

[Saladine]

Not accepted. They are not listed in the nomenclature.

Cords under the "fifty kopecks" tests were accurate. And a rifle and a machine gun. And they passed. But I wasn’t interested in the GRAU designation, it seems then they said: ... if we need it, we’ll assign it, but I can’t say for sure.

I read the comments ... I am not happy that the Russian concern is in a situation where its development is possible only through the supply of Russian weapons made under the cartridge of the enemy to countries for the sake of obtaining dubious benefits.
Maybe I belong to the old formation and belong to those former military men who believe that ONLY the Russian Armed Forces and their allies can have perfect weapons.
Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov in his old age was very worried that his once most perfect (in my opinion, it has not lost its relevance today) weapon began to walk around the world, bringing death to civilians ...
* * *
I will not change my views, believing that the best weapons of Russia should be in the hands of the Russian military ... Sorry, to this day I don’t like that the S-400 (albeit in an imported version) was sold to a NATO member country (Turkey) ... I don't see any cunning plan in this ... The pursuit of dollars has led our economy to a state of raw material appendage, when prices rise by themselves, and people survive on their own.

There is a cunning plan here. Everything that the S-400 sees on its radars, regardless of its location, is also seen in the Moscow Region. There are NATO bases in Turkey, and with tactical nuclear weapons, it’s not bad for us to have information about who and when takes off from them. It was not for nothing that the Americans immediately refused to supply their stealth aircraft to the Turks, so that we would not copy their radio appearance on radars.

And here, under NATO, they finally did everything as for normal people.

In fact, the AK-12 has some features that were previously very difficult to make. Well, the level of industrial development is growing and they are gradually being introduced.
On the other hand, the Kalashnikov concern is implementing these improvements badly and unsuitably, but this does not apply to the most gradual development of the AK platform.

The main "feature" of the AK platform is a flawed general construct, thanks to which the lateral recoil cannot be reduced to zero, well, except in exotic ways, and the inability to install a sight without additional devices, because no matter how you remake the receiver, the backlash will not go anywhere ...

The concern also created the "three hundredth" series under 7.62 ... On the Lazarev Tactical channel, the machine gun looked super convincing.
