Rosoboronexport JSC (part of Rostec State Corporation) has significantly
expanded its export catalog of Russian small arms over the past 5 years.
"Over the past 5 years, Russian arms
manufacturers have significantly expanded the range of their products. Rapid
development of design and engineering competencies is due to a high level of
competition in the global market, market diversification into narrower
segments, production management optimisation, as well as the emergence of new
players in the national arms market. Thanks to this, today Rosoboronexport can
offer its partners more than 90 models of small arms that fully meet the demand
from any army and special operations units," stated Alexander Mikheev,
Director General of Rosoboronexport. “Moreover, there are over 50 models of
civilian and service weapons in our export catalog, which are in high demand
from police and special agencies of our partner countries. We offer precision
rifles, carbines, pistols and hunting rifles on the market."
Among the latest models promoted by
Rosoboronexport on the world market are products from the Kalashnikov Group and
JSC High Precision Systems, both are Rostec’s subsidiaries: Kalashnikov AK-308,
AK-19 assault rifles, Chukavin SVCh sniper rifle, Lebedev PLK pistol,
Kalashnikov PPK-20 submachine gun, Kord 6P68 and 6P67 balanced-action assault
rifles, Kord-338LM bullpup precision rifle and the SHAK-12 heavy assault rifle
system.
Among civilian and service weapons, precision
rifles such as the ORSIS T-5000, ORSIS
F-17 and a heavy ORSIS 12.7 model from Promtechnology, the Raptor, Phantom and Elegance Exclusive
rifles from Bespoke Gun that debuted in 2023, as well as Lobaev Arms’ DXL-5
Devastator, TSVL-8 M5 Dominator and DVL-10 M3 Wolfhound precision rifles occupy
top positions in their market segments.
Traditional manufacturers of small arms for the
armed forces are also present in the civilian arms market. In particular, High
Precision Systems offers the MTs-566 and MTs-560 carbines, and the Kalashnikov
Group – the Saiga-9 self-loading carbine, the MR-135 Taktika pump action
shotgun and the MR1 self-loading hunting carbine.
All modern models of Russian civilian and
service small arms are high-quality, convenient and high-tech products. They
combine excellent ergonomics, adaptability to the user and high performance
characteristics. Their design allows convenient and easy mounting of sights and
tactical accessories, ensuring their effective use in various conditions. In
addition, thanks to unique design solutions, they enable you to fully implement
your shooting skills, regardless of anthropometric data and the availability of
a variety of clothing, gear and equipment.
Rosoboronexport offers foreign customers small
arms systems suitable for the most challenging combat and special missions.
They include a wide range of day, night, thermal imaging and holographic scopes
manufactured by Shvabe, a Rostec subsidiary, Infratech and Dedal, as well as a
range of Russian made sniper, armour piercing, armour piercing incendiary and
tracer ammunition.
"Many models of small arms presented by
Rosoboronexport on the world market have already been tested in real conditions
and improved by manufacturers with regard to feedback directly from the
battlefield. They meet the requirements of modern combat operations in terms of
performance, operational characteristics and ergonomics to the maximum extent
possible," Alexander Mikheev stressed. “At the same time, Russian
manufacturers continue to expand the range of their models. One of the new
products from Kalashnikov Group will be unveiled by Rosoboronexport at Dubai
AirShow in November 2023."
