# Firepower: Russian Troops Get New Kalashnikov Assault Rifles

As the United States Army marches towards acquiring the LSAT (Lightweight Small Arms Technologies) light machine gun for their infantry, Russia’s Defense Ministry recently purchased the newest family of Kalashnikov assault rifles for Russian soldiers.

The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed in January that it acquired advanced Kalashnikov AK-12 and AK-15 assault rifles for service, which shoot 5.45×39 mm and 7.62×39 mm cartridges, respectively.

> “A decision has been made on the AK-12 and the AK-15. The submachine guns have been recommended as armament in the ground forces, the airborne force and [naval] infantry,” the Kalashnikov press office said in January, according to Russian News Agency TASS.

Kalashnikov Group CEO Alexei Krivoruchko told TASS that a series of field training exercises were completed with the advanced assault rifles last year. He added that the firearms manufacturer would be shipping the advanced weapons to the Russian Armed Forces in 2018.

> “New Kalashnikov rifles combine famous, battle-proven high reliability with modern ergonomics, increased hit probability and capabilities to effectively use all modern accessories, from red dot, night and IR sights to underbarrel grenade launchers, forward grips, lasers and flashlights, sound suppressors and more.

> AK-12 and AK-15 rifles share most of its arts and assemblies, with key differences being in the ammunition used. AK-12 is chambered for Russian Army standard issue 5.45×39 ammunition, while AK-15 is chambered for older, but still very popular 7.62×39 ammunition. “Kalashnikov” group also designed compact versions of both rifles, known as AK-12K and AK-12K, which are better suited for CQB use by Special Forces, or as Personal Defense Weapons for heavy armament and vehicle crews,” the Kalashnikov Group said in a press statement.

### The AK-12 and AK-15 specifications:

- Caliber: 5.45х39 (AK-12) or 7.62х39 (AK-15)

- Length, overall: 34-37 inches

- Length, shoulder stock folded: 27 inches

- Barrel length: 16.33 inches

- Weight, with empty magazine: 7.7 lbs

- Rate of fire: 700 rounds/min

- Magazine capacity: 30 rounds

### Russia Beyond Tests The AK-12 Assult Rifle:

The advanced assault rifles are part of the Russian military’s “Ratnik” program, which is designed to create future infantry combat systems, including upgraded body armor, high-tech kevlar helmets with special eye monitor (thermal, night vision monocular, flashlight), and communication systems. Initially, only Russian Spetsnaz will receive the AK-12 as part of the Ratnik program, while ground troops will continue using AK-74 into the early 2020s.

According to Dmitry Semizorov, the CEO of the Central Research Institute of Precision Machine-Making, Russia’s Ratnik combat gear has been successfully tested in the Syrian civil war.

> “You all probably know that the Ratnik was used in Syria and I want to say that the combat gear proved its worth during combat operations. We checked the combat outfit that was used in difficult situations in one way or another. I want to assure you that none of the elements of the combat gear’s protection was ever pierced,” said Semizorov.

While the global arms race between Washington and Moscow is clearly evident, what we do know today is that both countries are rapidly modernizing their standard military rifles before the next major shooting war.

The point of the AK has always been it's cheap enough to give to everyone.

Compare the Sten and Grease guns with the Thompson submachine gun. They started WWII with Thompsons, ended it with Stens and M3s.

FWIW, AK seem to be taking their eyes off the ball. AR15s are coming in cheaper these days.

I watched the video and the guy shooting and I thought what a cunt, what a colossal cunt, special forces special with a BFS and shooting the mud in a field. The guy's posture with the shooting screamed cunt.

So really if the legislators in DC didn't legislate the trigger assemblies and keep the prices high I'd fucking yawn even mores o and say so fucking what on their new gun and point out that the free-float is more accurate, that the variable adjustment gas more efficient, and that that rifle and the hardware was really just catching up with 2018, again a huge fucking yawn.

Submachineguns shoot pistol cartridges not rifle cartridges. Most submachineguns like the Sten fire from an open bolt. Machineguns with the exception of the Bren and a few others fire from a closed bolt. In assault rifles and battle rifles it is necessary for the bolt to be locked into the barrel before the round fires. Submachineguns are indeed very cheap by comparison to make to battle rifles and assault rifles.

God forbid, you quote the youtube video linked and "parrot" that nonsense. "Special forces binary shooting" some Russian special forces guy told that shill that and then went home drank vodka and ate a potato and pissed himself laughing when the guy parroted that.

Also standard is an adjustable stock?

The AR platform commercially fueled by consumer demands now offers much more technically accurate systems than most nations rifles. Right off the top of my head I think of three really innovative rifles.

Saint Edge (springfield was the company that banned selling to Dicks) their products so superior they were like who needs Dicks? This is accurate as far as the human eye can see and with optic MOA at 300

https://www.springfield-armory.com/products/saint-edge-ar15-5-56/

Ruger Precision now we're talking MOA at 1000 yards, these are really innovative rifles offering marksman accuracy just technically not available until somewhat recently at a consumer price point. That is allot of rifle and technology at that pricepoint, similar to the saint edge, setting a new standard.

https://www.ruger.com/products/precisionRifle/models.html

In pistol carbine again.. give it to Ruger

https://ruger.com/products/pcCarbine/models.html

For a fun gun.. home defense.. innovative.. economical.. that is a damn tough price point to beat

MOA at about 120 yards.. but I'm tempted to get one

I have allot of fun with the 357 in carbine with the 77/357 which as far as reloading doesn't require any trimming of the brass, have the 77/357 and the R92 in stainless. The 9 depending on the chamber also doesn't need trimming. So can get picky and that isn't true of all chambers, but you could reasonably reload 9 very easy and pair that with a pistol.

I lean to revolvers and 38/357 and carbine for most range activities as the two ranges I'm a member of only go out to 300. The pistol carbine as an example the 77/357 is like a 22 in recoil, very easy to shoot and I did the aftermarket trigger

Mine looks identical to this but Bushnell dusk to dawn scope

http://www.rifleshootermag.com/reviews/ruger-m77357-review/

Here is the 92

https://www.gunsamerica.com/983784644/Rossi-92-Stainless-Carbine-16--35…

I no longer really use the 30-30 for bush deer hunting and in stand use the 77/357 and on hoof the 92.

To own one is to grow to like it, the 92 if I could "only carry one rifle" would be my choice.

Ironically.. the 357 round is heavier than the .223 On average the .223 is 55 grain and the 357 158/140 it is not a more efficient round, however it is versatile in the eastern 1/2 of the US and again the easiest bar none to reload.

I have been considering relocating to be closer to Peacemaker in WV which of course has 1000 yards on Wednesday, I'd trim a 308 if I could get down and shoot regularly.. I have the dies for 223 and swedge for the crimp.. but find cheap rounds at the shows

For the $ and time the 357 pays to reload, and the 38's.. but the trimming and the the hassle of 223 not convinced.. with a carbide die I just clean the brass and don't even lube with that brass..

But the idea of trim, lube, and swedge a crimp? again why I like pistol for recreational range shooting.

With spouse and kids we can go down and run through 400 very easily.. I load in batch of 1000

Here is a good video

Ruger must be stealing from HiPoint.

Winning!!

I bought my wife a Beretta CX4 Storm in 9MM -the recoil of her 20 gauge semi auto was getting a little heavy.

I will admit with the 30 round mag full of 147 grain Federal HST it is a pretty sweet HD gun.

Almost no recoil - light easy to point and shoot.

I have not tested the velocity of the 147 grain HST out of the 16" barrel - but shooting steel plates it sure seems like it hits a lot harder than a 9MM pistol.

The trigger does suck - but at close range it is good enough.

Saint is a sexy rifle. No doubt.

It just came along late in the game for me. Can’t justify another AR. Mainly because that would put me in the market for another safe. That leads to more empty space to be tempted to fill.

Im trying to commit now to loving the ones I have and unloading those that really don’t do it for me anymore.

I normally shoot 500 or more rounds between cleaning - and have never experienced a failure on either of my ARs. I shoot a mix of ammo including shitty steel case.

I know several guys that only clean their target range ARs when they start to have reliability issues and they go thousands of rounds between cleaning.

I have visited Peacemaker

http://www.peacemakernational.com/ranges

Want to get one, looking at a specific closed community close by, just market is frothy.

I know it is neanderthal and the creedmoor is a better load, but will go 308 because of the prepper in me

The closest range is about 4 miles and goes out 150 yards is members only private club.

The other is about 15 miles and has 300 yards and is CMP (more public oriented but still requires membership)

I have spoken with people at Peacemaker and though they have a SIG shop there on site see allot of the RPR

They close the range and shoot 1000 on Wednesdays, you have to qual for that and keep MOA 1 at 100, 2 at 200, 10 at 1000, et

The RPR place within 4 at 1000 reliably out of the box.

On Wednesdays the big boys show up and the RPR is a cost efficient way to join that club..

But some of those guys do stuff at 1000 that boggles your mind.. as if it were at 100, all sorts of rifles.. some very-very expensive

If you get a chance visit it is genuinely one of the nicest ranges in the eastern US and nice area of the country to drive through

EM issues don't make much sense either. Late 2017 when DXY was 103 everything was unicorns and rainbows. Now when DXY has a dead cat bounce to 92 there is an "EM crisis". Argentina excepted.

As usual, when things don't make sense, something is going on behind the curtain?
