The Germans intend to provide the Ukrainian army with weapons of their own production, but under the Soviet caliber, since it is the main one for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Heckler & Koch concern made a proposal to produce submachine guns and machine guns for the Soviet cartridge, whose position in the global arms market is no longer as strong as it was before.

According to the German newspaper Die Welt, the management of the concern decided to enter the arms market with its submachine guns and machine guns, but under the Soviet caliber. This is due to the fact that the output of traditional products is falling, the Bundeswehr and the Western allies are buying fewer German weapons. In general, the Germans want to sell more, so they are expanding the range of automatic rifles and machine guns.

H&K plans to expand its product range to include Kalashnikov and other caliber submachine guns and machine guns from the countries of the former Warsaw Pact

- the newspaper writes.

At the moment, the concern considers Ukraine to be the main buyer, since it is involved in the conflict and constantly needs weapons. H&K products are already in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but of NATO caliber, now it will be the same, but already Soviet. At the moment, the Germans already have a sample of the H&K HK132E rifle chambered in 7.62 x 39 mm, in the future, other weapons of the concern will be transferred to this caliber and 5.45 x 39 mm. But all this is in the medium and longer term, since priority will still be given to weapons of NATO standards.
