Review of the new Kalash AK
1979 Vanga predicted the rebirth of Russia. it was predicted that in the year 2040 the superiority of RUSSIA will be back, Russia, China and India. and it has already begun - in the BRICS. We see positive signs of a slow but steady recovery of Russia can be everywhere: for example, in the last 20 years, they are creating a truly new Kalashnikov rifle. What is the Kalashnikov? it is a symbol of military power AK-74M with a body kit yeah that's right!
Central Scientific Research Institute of Precision Engineering, the first stage of testing AK-12 - one of the advanced models of the new Russian weapons. Over the course of the development of this machine are closely monitored by high ranking officials like Poobnimatsya small arms, especially Dmitry Rogozin.
Testing the new AK weapon in a series of test line, in the cold environment heat, high dust, humidity, and a fall from a height of 1.5 meters. After elimination of the identified gaps and refine the design machine for durability like the old AK's.
The emergence of a new modern small arms is not only to equip the Russian army, but also to strengthen our position in the world arms market. After the Arab Spring, some countries of North Africa ceased active cooperation with Russia, but it is true says the head of "
Rostechnadzor"
Chemezov, it is temporary, "Countries in the region have historically been buyers of our arms. And get used to it. For example, in Libya, we renew the relationship. Already visited their representatives, the new government has to re-engage on supplies were interrupted. " In addition, the gradually improving cooperation with Iraq, as well as more promising market, because of the weakening of U.S. influence in the region, it is Afghanistan. Russia is gradually increasing its influence in Latin America: Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Peru - where we sell not only helicopters and tanks, but also cars. The expansion of the Russian defense industry in all these areas should be of total. That is why the creation of modern models of small arms - an important step in establishing Russia as a full-fledged military power. So what is the long-awaited new AK?
AK-12 is in its current modification, was established under the leadership of the company
Vladimir Zlobin invited to the "Izhmash" in May 2011. "Records" at a decent designer from 2004, eleven of his developments adopted for service in the Russian special units and six - for adoption. Zlobin team "Izhmash" It took five months to develop and produce the first machine prototypes.
"Since the last upgrade AK-74 at the NGO" Izhmash "held in 1991, the need for a new machine is long overdue in the last 20 years, the same U.S. has succeeded in the development of its small arms," - says the chief designer of Concern "Izhmash "Vladimir Zlobin.According to him, at the beginning of the two thousandth the "Izhmash" lay a draft of a new model of Kalashnikov assault rifle, but because of the difficult financial situation, it was not even finalized. However, until recently, the plant was clearly not up to it, because even at the end of 2010 he had a debt of 13.7 billion rubles. "Izhmash" more like a pyramid scheme than a commercial enterprise. Only after Rostechnadzor launched in 2010, the procedure recovery included in his composition "Izhmash", the company resumed construction work.A three-dimensional model of the AK-12
According to the designer, the AK-12 is very different from its predecessors. One of the major innovations was the universal modular design of the machine. Based on it is planned to create 20 types of weapons as a combined arms and special, and civil purposes. Thus, based on the AK-12 submachine gun release, compact machine, automatic shotgun, assault rifle, machine gun and shotgun.
"We are faced with the need not only to tighten the ergonomic requirements of the automaton, but also reduce the mass and improve combat characteristics. Compared to previous models AK-12 is more convenient to use. Folding telescopic buttstock reduces recoil and easy carrying of weapons. A machine gun can be fired with one hand, and its easy to priladit as a left and a right "- said Zlobin.
Thanks to the new technology of the barrel, the modified automation and increase the distance between the gun and fly, greatly enhanced the accuracy and accuracy.
An AK-12 Picatinny rail mounted bracket for mounting accessories: grenade launchers, sights, target designators and flashlights. Due to this machine has gained versatility and more attractive for export. "This weapon is interest among all law enforcement agencies, including the Ministry of Defence. Automatic await us, and abroad ", - concludes Zlobin.
AK vs M16
It is worth noting that our weapons are in steady demand, even in a high-tech country like the United States. For example, in 2012, the police of the United States purchased the game carbine "Saiga" developed "Izhmash" based on the "Kalashnikov". But in general, the 2012 export "Izhmash" to the U.S. market grew by 15%: Izhevsk enterprises sell weapons worth 16.2 million dollars. AK vs M16
Some critics believe that the AK-12 loses the characteristics of the AKM, but Zlobin recalled that comparison of the two machines is incorrect - the first was made chambered 5,45 × 39, the second - a 7,62 × 39. On tests of AK-12 showed the majority of parameters better performance than the AK-74M.
In a recent interview with the head of "Rostechnadzor" Chemezov specifically notes that the reliability and simplicity remain a priority in the development of new Russian weapons: "I (Designer Michael) Kalashnikov told why we are better shooting and less whimsical. We have more tolerance. When we bought a new, modern machines and have to do everything exactly millimeter per millimeter, there are the same problems as the Americans. Then began to make a special allowance planned to keep away. " final design automaton can still change
Reliability and dependability in the work - that is what has always distinguished the Kalashnikov from foreign competition: dirt, dust, water, heat and cold - our machine keeps working in all conditions. And the demand is the key, not only within the country but also in the international market.
