Israeli Defense Industry (IWI) to launch weapons production in Vietnam


Vietnamese Internet portal Nguoiduatin.vn reports that the Israeli Military Industry expects to open a factory in Vietnam with the aim of producing weapons for the Far Eastern market. IWI is going to invest up to $ 100 million in a new plant. The Vietnamese military is already using a wide range of Israeli small arms, including the Avomat Tavor, the Negev light machine gun, the Galil assault rifle and the Galil sniper rifle.

        That's the way to do business. Look for new markets where it is necessary to persuade, where to tighten, to feel the conjuncture. And do not rely on friendship - "maybe they will still turn to us"

    We must again return our fleet and naval aviation to the Kamran naval base. The base is unique. Why are you leaving? Moreover, in light of the fact that Vietnam did not expel us, and the fleet today is tasked with patrolling in the far sea zone, which is problematic without bases around the world. We must try to go back there.

            at least 80 thousand of the million immigrants who arrived in Israel in the 90s left the country. Most of them are repatriates from the former USSR. The figures are taken from the report of the Israeli Institute for the Study of Democracy.

              This is normal. Israel is a harsh country and not easy to embed. But you will be surprised at% of repatriates from Western countries who cannot get into the structure of Israeli life twice as much.

                Valery, hello! Firstly, we are grateful to you and glad that you found time to answer us. To fully or at least clarify the picture a little more, I will write more about us. We are Citizens of Israel (but not Jews) but came and received citizenship. ... ... We have Israeli passports, with which we enter almost everywhere without visas, etc. And in these passports it is simply written that the place of birth of the USSR. ... ... We also have Russian passports (citizenship), but these passports bear the stamp of departure for permanent residence and registration at the Israeli embassy. As for the reasons for wanting to leave this "wonderful" country, Jewish and Eastern customs in general are so unbearably irritating. One of these days we read in a newspaper that the parliament passed a law on punishing missionary work. And we are a Russian Orthodox family and our children in kindergarten and school are expecting (I am sure they are) very unpleasant, to say the least, terrible psychological upheavals. And generally sick of all this. In emigration as refugees, we understand little, or rather do not understand anything. Oh, sorry, the fuse that was when we were going to leave Russia has passed! Were ready to go anywhere, just to leave!

      Yes, the Russian Federation is there all the time. The question is different. Galil ACE already surpasses the promising AK-12 today, the Negev in general occupies a niche that is unfilled in the RA, and Tavor is just a weapon for which the MP and special forces of Vietnam are already rearming.

        Galil ACE already surpasses the promising AK-12,


        The basis for the development by engineer Israel Galili (native Balashnikov) of their weapons was the Finnish Valmet RK.62 which is modification of the AK-47, developed by analogy with it, but with some minor changes in the mechanisms, in particular there was another receiver cover and butt. The Finnish version of the AK is considered the highest quality of all the clones of the Kalashnikov assault rifle, produced all over the world.



        To produce Galil, machine tools and supporting documentation were purchased from Finland. According to some reports, the first rifles were created on Finnish-made receiver. A distinctive feature of the automatic Israeli rifle from its original source AK-47 is the 5,56x45 cartridge. Galil also has a folding metal butt of a skeletal type, folding to the right, of another design, which differed for the better from folding butt AKS-47 and AKMS. And the receiver is somewhat different, as in the Finnish Walmet, on the example of which Galil was built. The base model was a Galil AR automatic rifle.

        Almost immediately there were several modifications of this rifle for different cartridges, namely 5,56x45 and 7,62x51



        Structurally, Galil is no different from Kalashnikov assault rifles, the work of automation is the same as that of AK. That is, the powder gases from the bore are discharged into the gas chamber, where they act on the gas piston and through it to the bolt frame, from which the frame moves back, ejecting the sleeve, cocking the trigger and sending a new cartridge into the chamber from the magazine. The barrel bore is also locked as in a Kalashnikov assault rifle, that is, by turning the shutter and locking it with two combat stops.
        The fuse and translator of the fire modes (single and automatic) is located in the same place as the AK, on ​​the right side of the receiver. But for convenience, the fuse translator is duplicated on the left side of the weapon, above the pistol grip, with convenient control. The shutter handle is made so that it is convenient for her to manipulate with any hand, for which she had a pull up.



        During the fighting in 1967 and 1973, Israel received M16A1 and CAR-15 rifles from the United States at low prices. The production of Galil itself cost Israel a little expensive, and the weight of Israeli rifles was more than American, which is always considered a big minus in the conduct of hostilities. Therefore, cheaper American automatic rifles gradually began to dominate in numbers over Galil rifles in the Israeli army. And now with the transition to Tavor, all this Galilov junk can be fused to baboons, naturally actively promoting and presenting it as a miracle weapon superior to the Russian AK. Called chicken eggs teach that they are the coolest lol

          Everything goes, everything develops. By the way, for some reason you did not post a photo of Galil ACE. And the fact that more than one gunsmith in the world does not argue that the Kalashnikov mechanism is ingenious. It’s just that the Israeli people today have been able to give this diamond a decent frame, while the Russians have remained extremely conservative.
          By the way, it is somewhat arrogant to call the Colombians whose main weapon is "Galil" and the Vietnamese who are also building an army "baboons" not from scratch.

            Galil ACE 23
            Caliber 5.56x45 NATO
            Type of automation gas outlet, locking by turning the shutter
            Length 975/875 mm
            Barrel length 460 mm
            3.44 kg weight
            Rate of fire ~ 700 rounds per minute
            35 rounds magazine

            The Galil ACE assault rifle / assault rifle uses long-stroke gas exhaust automatics located above the barrel of a gas piston. The barrel is locked by turning the shutter on two massive combat stops. The receiver is milled from steel, due to which it has high strength and resource. The receiver cover is stamped from steel, the neck of the store receiver, the trigger guard and pistol grip are made of high-strength plastic. A fuse-translator of fire modes is duplicated on both sides of the weapon and provides firing with single shots and bursts. The cocking handle is located on the left side of the weapon and is rigidly connected to the bolt frame. The slot for the handle is covered by a spring-loaded dustproof shutter, which automatically opens when the shutter frame rolls back and also automatically closes when it comes to the front position, reliably protecting the mechanisms of the weapon from dust, dirt and other foreign objects regardless of the fuse position. (This is different from AK)

            Kalashnikov AK-12
            Caliber 5.45x39
            Type of automation
            Gas vent, butterfly valve
            The length of the weapon, mm 945/725
            Barrel length, mm 415
            Weight, kg 3,3 (without magazine)
            Rate of fire, 600/1000 rounds per minute
            Magazine capacity, rounds 30 or 60

            To improve ergonomic and operational characteristics, the receiver has been significantly redesigned, especially its upper part (cover). The AK-12 assault rifle received an elongated receiver cover, which has increased rigidity and is pivotally mounted on the receiver in the front, so that to disassemble the weapon, the cover leans up and forward. In combination with a separate cover latch controlled by a lever located to the right at the rear of the receiver, this made it possible to ensure a constant position of the cover relative to the barrel for the use of optical and other sights mounted on the integrated Picatinny rail on the cover. The cocking handle of the shutter is perensen forward and is attached to the gas piston rod, while it can, if desired, be placed on the left or right side of the weapon. This made it possible to exclude the gap between the lid and the receiver, which is typical for weapons of the AK family, in the stowed position, closed by the lever of the fuse-translator and open to “all winds” in the firing position. The fuse-translator of fire modes has been redesigned - now its lever is pulled out on both sides of the weapon, under the thumb of the firing hand, and has 4 positions - “Fuse”, “single shooting”, “firing in bursts of 3” and “Automatic shooting”. A shutter delay also appeared in the design of the machine, which allows to accelerate reloading. Other innovations of the AK-12 assault rifle include modified rifling and a bullet barrel entrance designed to increase the accuracy of fire, a new muzzle brake compensator, which allows launching foreign-made rifle grenades from the barrel

          Nobody forgets about the history of Galil; on the contrary, they emphasize. The question is that in Galil ACE most of the improvements that they are trying to make in the AK-12 have long been made, and at a higher level

    The question is different. Galil ACE already surpasses the promising AK-12,


    You could not resist not to pin up? Are you in a buzz, srach here to breed? Nobody has hinted yet what they say and why they do not buy a series of AKs, and you, even without waiting for the cheers, started the obsiralovka of the Russian military-industrial complex.

    And anyway, did you hold the AK-12 in your hands?

    I didn't tease anyone. I expressed my personal opinion and did not refer to anyone’s authority. And I had to hold and shoot over the years of service from a variety of weapons, Soviet, American, Israeli and even Czech production. If it was a question of any other Galil model except ACE, I would not write anything at all, but even from the photographs you can personally see how ACE ergonomics are superior to AK-12, but I’m not talking about the possibility of arranging additional systems. This is mine (IMHO), as a long-term user of small arms.

      For the army of Colombia and for the series "Retaliation", as well as for deliveries to baboons, it is quite suitable, because in the Israeli army itself the Tavor assault rifle was adopted as the main model.

        the army of Colombia is no less howling than the Russian one. So they know how to appreciate good weapons. Indians and Vietnamese are also not exactly "baboons". And Tavor is tomorrow, it is still more expensive than Galil. In the IDF, only 3 brigades and part of the reservists are in service.

    Vietnamese Russians hopefully remember the good side .. soon we will return
    Yes, the Russian Federation is there all the time. The question is different. Galil ACE already surpasses the promising AK-12 today, the Negev in general occupies a niche that is unfilled in the RA, and Tavor is just a weapon for which the MP and special forces of Vietnam are already rearming.

    You are a small state and not reliable .. scatter across the planet .. and all contracts are down the drain .. Russia is stable and can write off debts .. (this was earlier ..) ... Mosin rifle and Kalashnikov assault rifle and the rest is a waste of money .. Vietnam : American special forces .. are slowly making their way through the jungle of Vietnam .. the corpse of a North Vietnamese soldier in a swamp slime, half-eaten by beetles by worms .. lay on his stomach .. allegedly turned his documents over to see .. (well, it should be like that) .. under it all in worms and mud Kalash was lying .. "Oh, Russian machine gun ... pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger ... the whole detachment fell headlong into a swamp from a line of rusty Kalash ...) that's the way it is ..

    a compact person doesn’t care how much the weapon is compact as a whole, the main distance from the butt plate to the handle and the difference even a few centimeters makes itself felt. in the photos presented, this is visible with the naked eye, even without a ruler. it would be better if they emphasized the same Galil ACE than Tavor.
