Let us briefly remind of the characteristics of TR3 gen.2 5.45×39. The TR3 self-loading carbine chambered for 5.45×39 rounds was developed on the basis of AK-12 Kalashnikov assault rifle and received a complete external resemblance to it. The TR3 features improved ergonomics and is compatible with modern sights, while retaining all the original Kalashnikov features. The carbine is designed for target practice, competitive shooting, and hunting. Barrel length — 415 mm Round used — 5.45×39 mm Magazine capacity — 10 rounds Weight — 3.8 kg Watch the video to find out how to turn Saiga-MK rev.30 into TR3 gen.2 using a patch and a slight resentment, and how many stages of magical mastery you need to overcome for this. #kalashnikov #weapons

Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGdxkzULCa9RlD-Q2EZPXQ?sub_confirmation=1 Rybinsk Shipyard (a subsidiary of the Kalashnikov Group) has developed DS-RIB, Russia's first inflatable tactical boat designed for rapid transportation of special forces teams. A unique feature of the DS-RIB tactical boat is its inflation system. It only takes 45 seconds to inflate the boat from a compressed air cylinder. The inflation system allows to do that right out at sea. Another advantage of the DS-RIB is its extremely compact size. A pair of folded DS-RIBs will easily fit in the trunk of an SUV. When folded in a shipping case, the boat is less than 500 mm in diameter, allowing to deploy it through a submarine's torpedo tube. The boat can also be airlifted unfolded, sling-mounted to a helicopter. The boat is available in two options: The DS-RIB 450 is 4.5 m long and 1.85 m wide, weighs 70 kg and accommodates eight passengers. The boat is powered by a 50-hp LS engine and has a cruising speed of 50-60 km/h. The second option, DS-RIB 530, can accommodate from 10 to 12 people. The larger boat is 5.4 m long and 2.34 m wide, weighing 110 kg. With two 30-hp SS engines, its cruising speed is 40-60 km/h. Twitter: twitter.com/KalashnikovNews #SpecialForces #Kalashnikov

For the first time, at the International Military-Technical Forum, “ARMY 2021” Kalashnikov Group is going to unveil a prototype of the 9 mm submachine gun PPK-20. New submachine gun was independently designed as a part of “Vityaz-MO” R&D project. LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGdxkzULCa9RlD-Q2EZPXQ?sub_confirmation=1 The PPK-20 has completed state trials, and is now awaiting the final decision of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation in regards to adoption by the Armed Forces. The PPK-20 was significantly modified to make it more compact, and now it is under consideration to become a new weapon system in the pilot’s personal survival kit for the Russian Aerospace Forces. The PPK-20 tests carried out at the RF MOD State Flight Test Centre in Aktyubinsk, confirmed that it could be placed in an ejection seat; tests are continuing to assess the effectiveness of the changes made. If the trials are successful, Kalashnikov Group is ready to start production of the PPK-20, which also has significant export potential. The PPK-20 can also serve as PDW (Personal Defence Weapon), a firearm for combat vehicle crews or various support units, and for Special Forces units that operate in urban areas, inside structures and vehicles, and in crowded environments. The length of the PPK-20 with the folded butt stock is only 41 cm. The trials showed that when 7N21 ammunition is used, PPK-20 could penetrate Level 3A body armour (NIJ standard). With this round, the muzzle velocity of the PPK-20 is nearly 470 m/s, and the point blank range at a full-height target is 360 m. #Kalashnikov #submachinegun #ARMY2021

And if you don't want to miss our next video, click on the bell sign too! The night vision scope and thermal imager operate using the same IR range, but different wavelengths. The night vision scope is fundamentally not that much different from a conventional telescopic sight, it simply features a light amplifying element called an image intensifier. Therefore, we see the actual image in the eyepiece, just as in a regular scope. This is also the reason why a night vision scope without illumination is useless in total darkness. There is simply nothing to intensify. The principle on which a thermal imager operates is somewhat different: the infrared gets through the lens and hits the sensor operated by microbolometers. The sensor data is then processed and fed to the screen. Lighting does not matter for the thermal imager, as it picks up temperature differences between objects. In our new video, Kalashnikov expert Yevgeniy Spiridonov talks in-depth about the right way to use these devices in limited visibility conditions and the new opportunities they offer to a modern hunter. #Kalashnikov #hunter

So, if one wanted to have two AKs - well, Saigas - chambered in 5.45, and also a 7.62 one, that'd mean three slots crossed out. What we want to do here is: if one wants a civilian AK carbine in another caliber, they can buy just the barrel (that'll come as a set with a fitted receiver and bolt) and add it to the existing license, effectively owning several different calibers on one slip. This carbine is meant for people who aren't too keen on getting an AR. They don't think they can use an AR the way they use their carbines. They want a carbine to use with scopes that can withstand the punishment their habitual use case may entail. This is a carbine that doesn't need to be pampered. It's good with scopes, but you can also drop it without panicking about its well-being. #Kalashnikov #AKV521

Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGdxkzULCa9RlD-Q2EZPXQ?sub_confirmation=1 The world premiere of AK-19 will take place at the largest Middle Eastern arms exhibition IDEX-2021, which will be held in Abu-Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, from February 21 to February 25. “AK-19 is chambered for 5.56x45 round, one of the most popular rifle rounds in the world, which is currently used by NATO countries. Consequently, this new rifle was developed specifically for the export market. “We are confident that presentation of AK-19 at IDEX, a large international exhibition will interest foreign customers, and we are already getting the first requests,” said Dmitry Tarasov, CEO of the Kalashnikov Group. AK-19 is based on AK-12, which was accepted into service by the Russian Armed Forces in 2018. AK-19 has a Picatinny rail, a new collapsible folding stock, improved aperture sight, and a quick-detachable suppressor. AK-19 already caught the attention of some Middle Eastern customers who are using 5.56x45 ammunition. In a hot and humid climate with frequent sandstorms, AK-19 will ensure reliability and effectiveness with minimal maintenance. #АК19 #Kalashnikov #assaultrifle

This is the first prototype with a milled receiver that we revised. LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGdxkzULCa9RlD-Q2EZPXQ?sub_confirmation=1 The changes to it include a paint job, so it now looks like it's supposed to, with a full anti-corrosion coating. As was announced, we closed the slot on the right side of the receiver, and the charging handle migrated over to the left. The slot that we got so many comments about is now covered with a moving door, spring-loaded like the one seen on FN FNC. So, when we move the bolt, the handle pushes the door, which, in turn, slides up and down, covering the slot. You also can see how we ditched the old rear sight, replacing it with the updated AK-12 version on top of the receiver. What you see here is basically what the carbine will look like on the users' shelves. It runs like clockwork, and we like it a lot. We hope our customers end up liking it too, as well as those who are still unsure whether they their collection is full without a new Kalashnikov-made carbine.

Here, for example, we have a long 415 mm barrel, and there will also be a short 340 mm barrel with a muzzle brake, like on AK-105. If a single caliber is used, then both barrels will work with the same bolt face, especially if both are purchased as a set directly from the factory.

Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzGdxkzULCa9RlD-Q2EZPXQ?sub_confirmation=1 The most distinctive feature here is the fact that, while staying about 85% compatible with the TR3 carbine (a civilian-market version of the updated AK-12 rifle), the new model boasts a receiver split into upper and lower. The bolt guiding rails, bolt, trunnion, barrel, gas block, and muzzle brake have been relocated to the upper, while the magazine fixture, trigger group, fire selector switch, and buttstock remain integrated with the lower half. The recoil spring locks against a post attached to the lower. Another feature is the charging handle made removable to provide for disassembly through the rear end. The receiver on the prototype is milled, while it will be stamped on the production model. The fire selector switch follows the logic traditional for the AK, meant to be operated with just the index finger. In this current version, we have a vertical fire selector switch on the left side, made like that to provide for folding the buttstock and locking it. Another major feature is the sight rail staying permanently linked to the barrel in all use cases, including disassembly, reassembly, and cleaning of the carbine. The rail here is just the correct height for a micro reflex sight installed on a low mount to be 1/3 co-witnessed with the iron sights, which allows for using a red dot sight simultaneously with the iron sights. #AKV521 #Kalashnikov

Or the other way round. The idea is basically someone shooting from a moving car, aiming at the trunk of another car that's trying to lose the tail. What we're going to check is whether it's possible to survive in such a situation, just sitting there — or ducking. We've got a VAZ-2104 here for a test object. We'll be shooting at it from behind, aiming at the tailgate window and the metal part. And we'll then see what we hit. We'll find out what kind of damage it does, whether the bullets get inside, and whether they hurt the ducking passengers.

There are tons of myths circulating online regarding the design of the Kalashnikov. One such claim is that the rifle will still be fully operational even with the full auto sear removed.

The Mosin–Nagant rifle, otherwise known as the Mosin rifle (3 lines caliber, or 7.62 mm), entered into service with the Russian army in 1891. This system was quite appropriate for its time. It survived two insignificant modernizations (in 1910 and 1930s) and loyally served the Russian soldiers in the First World War, during the revolutionary years and in the Civil War, and then during the WWII. Work on upgrading the rifle continued virtually until the mid-1930s. Famous for its simple, strong and reliable structure with manual loading and a magazine for five cartridges, the Mosin rifle was removed from service by the Soviet army only after the Great Patriotic War, but it was used for much longer as a sniper rifle. Nowadays, many of these rifles are used by Russian and foreign hunters and amateur riflemen. MORE: https://en.kalashnikov.media/

After M16, chambered in 5.56x45, entered US Army service in 1964, Soviet design engineers started development of their own low recoil round. This ammunition allows reduce the weight of the loadout carried by the soldiers, lighter bullet has higher velocity, which leads to better accuracy and flatter trajectory. In the early 70s, a group of design engineers lead by V. Sabelnikov completed development of the new round, and in 1974, new assault rifle, #AK74, entered service. New weapon was very similar to #AKM, which allowed starting mass production very quickly. #Kalashnikov #AK

More videos: https://en.kalashnikov.media/videos The submachine #gun, a new class of arms, was born in the trench battles of the World War I. The #USSR started development of submachine guns in the 1920s. The PPD gun from 1934 was the first practical result of these development efforts. It was used as a self-defence weapon by junior commanders in operating units. In 1938, the PPD was upgraded, but, for certain political reasons, it was soon removed from service and only the Winter War with Finland forced the country to quickly resume manufacturing 1940 modification PPD guns. The PPD-40 was manufactured in besieged Leningrad until 1942, although the PPSh-41 replaced it as a mass weapon and entered into service in 1941. The PPD was a classic example of a 'first-generation' submachine gun. It had a traditional wooden stock with a structure that was quite expensive to produce and required a significant amount of machining. The first samples of the #PPD34 only had casket magazines; however, following the 1940 war, drum-type magazines with increased capacity were developed for them.

The development of the #Kalashnikov assault rifle began in 1943. The Ministry of Defence a decided to make a series of weapons which provided the infantry with the possibility of effective fire at ranges of about 400 meters. The first party of the Kalashnikov assault rifle wsd manufactured in 1948. Want to know more? https://kalashnikov.media/en/ #АК47

Kalashnikov assault rifle was developed over 70 years ago, but people still argue about its history. What is the correct name of this weapon – AK or AK-47? Who really designed it? How Kalashnikov, who did not have a weapons design engineering degree, managed to create one of the best assault rifles in history? In the first video we will answer those questions and get to know some of the first AKs ever made – unique AKS manufactured in 1948 at the Izhevsk motorcycle factory for army trials and some later variants that were on production until late 50s and are still used around the world.

In April 2018, Larry Vickers, one of the most respected firearms industry experts, visited Kalashnikov group production facility in Izhevsk, Russia. He had an opportunity to see the assembly line, tool manufacturing facility, forging production, logistical center and R&D facility. Watch the video to see what are his thoughts on current Kalashnikov production and the progress made in the last several years.

The Kalashnikov group presented an automatic weapon control station under the control of combat artificial intelligence. It can operate in the combat mode of a remotely controlled module, providing the operator with automatic recognition and target illumination, automatic tracking of ground, air and sea targets, ballistic computer. The weapon is equipped with a gyrostabilization system, which allows fire in motion, and two-spectral optics, which allows the use of the complex at any time of day and under conditions of limited visibility. Under the control of combat artificial intelligence the station can successfully perform tasks without a human operator. Combat artificial intelligence performs the functions of detecting and recognizing targets, determines priorities in the sequence of defeat, gives commands to the tracking machine and makes a decision about opening fire. Artificial intelligence is based on artificial neural networks, and can be trained in the process. The video presents one of the modes of operation in which the station scans the sector of the operational space, recognizes threatening objects, indicates the type of object (person or machine), decides on the required number of shots for guaranteed destruction and carries out a defeat. Stations are installed both permanently or on the vehicles, and can be combined into a single network for concerted actions, such as perimeter security. The station is able to independently decide on the exclusion from the sector of destruction of objects that are not dangerous, for example, animals. Artificial intelligence with automatic accompaniment compatible with all combat modules of the Kalashnikov Group. Equipping objects with such stations allows to exclude the human factor, such as loss of vigilance and fatigue.

Kalashnikov Group demonstrated new assault rifle prototype “7.62 mm Kalashnikov assault rifle AK-308” at the International Military-Technical Forum “Army-2018”. Weapon is based on AK-103 with certain design features taken from AK-12 and is chambered for 7.62x51 round. At the moment, weapon is being prepared for trials. Assault rifle is chambered in 7.62x51.
