Production of AK-103 machines in Venezuela will begin in 2012

The licensed production of the export version of the AK-103 machine in Venezuela will begin in 2012. About this, as reported by Infodifensa, said in Caracas, the Ambassador of the Russian Federation in Venezuela, Vladimir Zaemsky.

As the diplomat informed, the project is progressing within the agreed schedule. Almost all the process equipment has already been delivered. There are some delays in construction work, but their causes are problems that any company performing work in a foreign country would face, as well as the difficult climatic conditions of the past year and the rationing of electricity in Venezuela.

With good luck, construction work is planned to be completed at the end of the current or early next year, which will allow the installation of process equipment to start and the production of automatic machines in 2012 to start. The Ambassador stressed that the production technology of AK-103 will be transferred to Venezuela.

In May 2005, Venezuela acquired 100 thousand AK-103 / AK-104 machines to equip the national Armed Forces. The contract also included the supply of 74 million 7,62xXNNUMX mm cartridges, stores, bayonets, spare parts, technical manuals and 39 simulators for shooting training.

Later, in 2006, an agreement was signed for the construction in Venezuela of enterprises for the production of AK-103 / AK-104 assault rifles and ammunition of 7,62xXNNXX mm. Both plants are built on the territory of the Venezuelan state-owned company CAVIM (Compania Anonima Venezolana de Industrias Militares - Defense Industry Joint Stock Company) in Maracay (Aragua pieces). Earlier it was reported that more than 39 people will be employed in production.

Notice that they are licensed. And why others without a license issue them to us and do not care. Only for a short while in VENEZUEL all this comes, the next one led and again they will look towards the States.

Let's hope that the people of Venezuela understand what Hugo is doing for the economy and the people - and he or his supporters will resist - although the pressure of the pendos and "democrats" will be frenzied

And they may need a lot of machines - for all 8 Bolivarian countries
The Pendos won't leave them alone - believe me - it's a bone in their throat just like Iran. I am sure the "dark times" will come to an end someday - and the names of Morales and Chavez, Lukashenko and Fidel, Ahmadinejad and Ortega and many others will sound all over the world like the names of heroes who stood up against the all-powerful enemy no matter what

The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (Spanish Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra Amrica; abbreviated ALBA, Spanish ALBA) is an alliance of Latin America and the Caribbean. ALBA has eight countries: Bolivia, Venezuela, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. As an international organization and a subregional integration association, it was created in 2004 at the initiative of Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

Even if Hugo leaves (which I personally doubt), the country will never return to America. Oil producers, of course, look there, but ordinary people received from Hugo essentially power in their country, and it’s not realistic to take it away just like that.

In the USA, AKs are made without a license, but we don’t care ...

[Vadivak]

Well, thank God, maybe not bypassing Mikhail Timofeevich

[Ivan Tarasov]

Still would.
Having the best ballistics, the M-16 is noticeably inferior in reliability to the Russian counterpart.
Kalashnikov out of competition.

[Tyumen]

In general, I believe that the weapon on which the stock is normally installed for finishing
a jammed cartridge cannot be considered combat.

to advance the shutter to the front position

[Tyumen]

And why is the shutter moving forward? For sending a cartridge.

[atheist]

Our AKs are made in other countries with a different modification (officially this is not a violation), but they serve less
it seemed to me that the transition of cartridges from 7,62 to 5,56 had begun
to build factories in other countries is dangerous because they can be taken away by a government inclined to a different regime and make the same machines, but without a license

[Ivan Tarasov]

Real weapons for real men!

[figwam]

In the USA, Kalashnikovs are produced without a license. Our Bulgarian corrupt friends had a license back in the USSR, to produce a certain number of machines, and then they safely began to produce a machine with modifications for sale around the world, the Pindos help them a lot in this, because. the plant is located on the territory of the USA in Las Vegas, the Arsenal company, the cost is $ 900 per piece, the Pindos ordered 40 thousand pieces for the Iraqi army.

[ZEBRASH]

Well done, friends need help

[vasek-3180]

and the motherland sucks the cockerels! ak-74-ultimate dream)))) although how many developments! but how about
ichno (cockerels)!)))

[kopar]

The question is, how long can we still trade in weapons? There are fewer competent designers and new ones to learn. Another ten years from now and start buying licenses for the production of their weapons from India and China .... Strange as it may seem, Soviet technology doesn’t endlessly perhaps.....
