MOSCOW, Feb 1 - RIA Novosti. The Kalashnikov Group of Companies has released a large batch of assault rifles for one of the customers in the Asia-Pacific region (APR), Kalashnikov told reporters.
"A large batch of assault rifles was produced in an accelerated mode at the site of JSC Kalashnikov Concern in the interests of a foreign customer from the Asia-Pacific countries under a contract concluded by JSC Rosoboronexport," the company said.
According to Kalashnikov, in 2021 the group increased the output of military export products by more than 70% compared to 2020. Kalashnikov's main export products include the 100th and 200th series assault rifles, the Ratnik series assault rifles, and various types of high-precision weapons.
