Syrian fighters have tested the new version of AK

During the current conflict, Syrian troops began to receive from Russia not only modern heavy weapons, but also the latest samples of small arms. weapons, to which, for example, belongs the product of the Kalashnikov concern - AK-104, writes in its article for Messenger of Mordovia Roman Katkov.

New machines, in contrast to the AK-47, delivered to Syria in limited quantities and are in service only in special units.

"Externally, a" raw "can be identified by a shortened trunk, which is crowned with a flame arrester. And also by the characteristic black color of the protective coating and the presence of a special impact-resistant plastic, ”the author writes.

“Cartridges of caliber 7,62 mm are applied here. Its weight with the equipped shop - 3,7 kg. Unfolded length - 824 mm. Sighting range of shooting up to 500 m. The rate of fire - 600 shots per minute. The capacity of the store is traditional for Kalashnikov assault rifles - 30 cartridges, ”Katkov gives a brief description of the automaton.

According to the "Bulletin", this conflict was, in fact, the first to use AK-104. Like other automata of the concern, it “demonstrates phenomenal reliability and unpretentiousness, thanks to which it managed to win the recognition of the Syrian warriors,” concludes the publication.

[Thrall]

Here, 7,62 mm caliber cartridges are used

But this is correct.
Although in Islamic states "Kalash" with a cartridge 5,45 and are not common.

[Michael67]

Very correct. Only here are the guys - the Syrian special forces, take care of the device! So that the reptiles did not fall into their hands.

[Baikonur]

I understand from the photo, this is with balanced automation (from the gas outlet to the front sight the distance to the balancer is allotted) !? (Type AEK-971) Kalashnikov also has such a development (after AEK. (It is not known, of course, they agreed with Degtyarevtsy for a license (most likely) or themselves!
I think that such a machine gun is needed in the Army! The only thing - I don’t understand why they abandoned the 7,62 caliber in favor of 5,45 (the bullet through the bushes even loses direction, but we have a lot of bushes. Some kind of sabotage)!

[Velya]

No, balanced automation on the AK-107 and AK-108

[Baikonur]

What about taking them into service in the Army? Why not? After all, it seems like a cool thing! In all respects. (And the return is balanced, and structurally not much more complicated, no less reliable!) It is in the Army, and not in special support.!

PS: This is an animated scheme of the automation of AEK-971 (the same principle)

[alexqazw]

this animation is just the 107th

Well, when compared with the AK-47, then the AK-74 is new.

The magazine capacity is traditional for Kalashnikov assault rifles - 30 rounds, ”Katkov gives a brief description of the assault rifle.

in text 7.62.
I heard about 5.45. I think it's better for solution 7.62 for the same reason.
Border guards were the first to "reject" the 5.45 caliber.

[Roman 57 rus]

5,45 is considered a little pulse cartridge, i.e. less return, higher accuracy. It’s also smaller than the weight of the equipped magazine. At the same time, the bullet inflicts more injuries when hit in the limbs, because it is lighter and when hit in an obstacle it comes into it almost sideways. This was the reason for its adoption. 5.45 penetration protection is no longer enough, so they are trying to return to caliber 7.62.

[Oladushkin]

Mikhail Kalashnikov on this occasion said that when a similar decision was made (on the transfer from 7,62 to 5,45 mm) he rested his hands and feet as a constructor, but then the metropolitan generals formally struggling with the overload of the Soviet soldier did not give a damn about his demand and introduced this decision into him troops. At the same time, even an act was drawn up stating that the opinion of the Chief Designer was received and he did not give a damn.

[Baikonur]

I heard that too! But what of the receiving customers, doesn’t anyone understand this ??? Sabotage continues ??? !!!
And even cops shortened also need exactly 7,62 !!!
Everywhere 7,62 is not in vain appreciated (even the American warriors try to snatch them)! And the lethal and stopping effect of the bullet is much higher!

[Baikonur]

I found a recent video - AmeriSpets: "AK-107 - The most popular assault rifle in the USA!" Why does not we go to the series, to the army, not to the special forces, but to the general army ??? !!!

[Izotovp]

Mikhail Timofeevich said that the modernization potential of 7,62 was not exhausted and the transition to 5,45 was premature. 5,45 continued to upgrade. If 7,62 continued to be modernized in terms of ballistics and armor penetration, then this cartridge would not have equal on the range of real fire contact.

[Corvetkapitan]

No, what you write about is AK-12, model 2012 and AEK-971 (aka A-545 (caliber 5.45) and A-762 (caliber 7.62)) from the Degtyarev plant. The AK of the hundredth series is something else, but they already managed to fight in the Caucasus, where they earned positive reviews. The article about the AK of the hundredth series is on the link. Http://ohrana.ru/weapon/automatic/31253/

[Baikonur]

AK-12 - NOT balanced. !!!

[tracker]

stop repeating this fake about scatter from bushes 5,45

[Baikonur]

Nobody repeats, it is so! There are no bushes at the shooting range! If you have the opportunity to shoot at a shooting range, do not be too lazy to build bushes on the trajectory of a bullet and you yourself will see the result on the target! More precisely - in milk!
And most importantly, the killing and stopping effect of the 7.62 bullet is much higher, which is - the main thing in battle!

[Chisayna]

And what is 7n22.

[Roman 57 rus]

The fact of the matter is that there is almost no stopping action at 7.62. The bullet simply makes holes in the enemy, not even Felling him down, and often he can either run away for cover or approach the distance of a knife fight.

[DMM2006]

Unfortunately, there is no balanced automation on it; the design of the vent pipe and valve is simply changed. I know by hearsay that I have a civilian version of the 104th (without an automatic whisper), Saiga - MK-03. So I had to disassemble more than once. But the machine is great. I am personally delighted. I especially liked the fact that a tight selection of trunks is made with an accuracy of at least 4,5 cm per 100 m.

He has long been in all the "naughty" little hands. So that worries are in vain.

[Lord of the Sith]

According to Vestnik, this conflict was, in fact, the first to use AK-104.

Nonsense! Download any video from the war in Donbass and see the AK-104 from our soldiers. Therefore, the first conflict where it is applied is still the "Civil War in Ukraine".

[Smoked]

It is nice to see that our people began to actively test various crap in business, and not just at the exhibition ground in Dubai, which thread.

[fzr1000]

With such a trunk at 500 m? In my opinion, optimistic.

[Thrall]

The 5,45 cartridge increased the aiming range by about 100 meters.

[General Frost]

Well, why not, isn't it possible?

[Vadim237]

It would be better if they delivered AK 101.

[Kir1984]

I wonder what this thing is compared to the classic predecessor

[Altona]

This is such a replacement for AKM, as I understand it. I like the caliber of 7,62.

[Altona]

I had to serve with the predecessor of this machine, there is one from training, the other is already in the army ...

[donavi49]

No, this is a short barrel - rather, AKSU on steroids and under 7,62.

AKM is AK-101 and AK-103 in the 7,62 version.

[kapitan92]

Quote: donavi49

AKM is AK-101 and AK-103 in the 7,62 version.

A little clarification: AK-101 is made according to the NATO cartridge 5,56 * 45, AK-103 7,62 * 39.

[Altona]

Soulful thing in the classic version, especially if you shoot well.

Why is it new, twenty years since they began to produce

Just not lost.

The main thing is to smear the bullets with pork fat so that they immediately go to hell ...

[Achilles]

Syria is an excellent testing ground for Russian weapons

[VP]

What to experience it?
It has been adopted for 20 years and during this time it has already been delivered to many countries, even to Saudi Arabia.

[horoh]

All the same, caliber 7.62 is much better than 5.45, the right solution.

[donavi49]

Not. The problem is in the cartridges. The Caucasians (Ajnad Al-Kavkaz) from Turkey got burned not so long ago and went to Allah, for the reason - their AK-74M quickly dried out with a body kit. 5.45 can be written out from Turkey, find where the thread on Hmemima. Even in Iraq the cartridge is slow-moving.

But 7.62x39 buckets at the nearest checkpoint, or you can buy corny everywhere.

New Caucasobahs from Turkey are coming in with a different set of weapons.


And Ribat of those first - did not last long.

Why compare them? This is a cropped 74, the version between the usual 74 and the shorty 74U.

[VNP1958PVN]

I would like to hear the feedback of the "operating" side!

[rotmistr60]

Whether it is still time to have to see in service with the Syrian army. Some in the comments advise to protect, not to lose, as if it were a secret weapon. Weapons have been produced for a long time mainly for export.

[drilled]

How does a shortened trunk feel in the heat?

[nemec55]

AK101-2, AK102-2, AK103-2, AK104-2, AK105-2 - options with a modified trigger mechanism that allows firing with a cut-off line of 3 shots. Accordingly, the switch has 4 positions: P - fuse, A - automatic firing, 3 - firing with a cut-off of the burst of 3 shots, 1 - firing with single shots.

This is an export option.
AK101, AK102, AK103 and AK104 are for sale for export, and AK105 - using 5,45 × 39 cartridges as well as AK74M - for the armed forces and law enforcement agencies of Russia [8].

Syria is now a large training ground. Naturally. we need to try everything new that our designers invented. And then take it into service.

[VP]

This is not new. And long accepted. And has long been sold abroad.
New is the AK-12. But no one is going to deliver it yet.

[Alexez]

Just do not throw tomatoes at once, but the "sighting range" in the understanding of the MO is the KVO equal to a target the size of a person's height figure (although from my point of view it is necessary to consider the target "chest", but the MO is more visible). Therefore, from 500 m, at least 50% of all bullets should lie down in the growth room. AK-47 (as they call it in the West) worked quite well at such a distance.

By the way, you touched upon an interesting topic, I don’t remember where I read an article about this problem, in the article he argued that now even a chest target is too optimistic, but now it’s mainly the head or part of the head. And you said that it’s not about sights whether something else is calculated. If anyone in the subject would like to hear whether this is so important.

[voyaka uh]

"" effective firing range "in the understanding of MO is KVO equal to a target the size of a person's height" ////

Absolutely right. What is full height? What is the chest target?
We only shot at small (green) head-and-shoulders targets and not at any others.
Getting there is not so easy, even with the M-16’s convenient diopter sight.

[iouris]

The object of action must be inflicted with the specified damage, and not just "get" into it.
In addition, the choice of 7,62 caliber will not create unnecessary problems with material support.

[Mountain shooter]

There would be a balanced automation experience. In droves. Very important tests to the limit. Dust, heat, sand, and many many enemies.

[MRomanovich]

If the system is fully developed and tested, it is possible to send it to friends to help, but if it is not, then sending a raw sample for verification means endangering the guys who will run with them.

[imugn]

In Syria, more advertising than a landfill

[dchegrinec]

So we will test in the field, to take into the troops or not to accept!

[gukoyan]

We have a great training ground, I won’t be surprised if we still have time to break in Armata in Syria)
