The Kalashnikov Group unveiled a new AK-19 short-barreled assault rifle on August 13. The new AK-19 is based on the AK-12 assault rifle and is chambered for the NATO-standard 5.56mm round.

Compared to the AK-12, AK-19’s length has been reduced, resulting in a compact size. The company said that the customer had requested that the rifle be outfitted with a suppressor device that would allow for silent firing.

The company also added a front grip that would allow for more control over the weapon’s rate of fire. Watch the video to find out why Russia is making a rifle for NATO’s ammo?

You can not use Ak riffles with any bullet in the world. Cutesy of mother Russia inventions.

⚡️Proposed establishment of a 🇹🇷 Pro-Turkey Turkmen state in 🇸🇾 Syria and 🇮🇶 Iraq, accompanied by an already established government in exile.

This entity would be named the "Federation of Turkmen Associations," drawing parallels to Kosovo's suggested "Association of Serbian Municipalities."

⚡️The high manufacturability of Western technology plays against it on the battlefield, Dmitry Shugaev, head of the FSMTC of 🇷🇺 Russia, said in the Zvezda studio

“This is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it is highly effective, but, on the other hand, it requires high qualification, it requires high maintenance and maintainability, especially in combat conditions. And, of course, it is expensive in every way,” he said.

Shugaev added that it is the battlefield that shows whose technique is better, and here comes the “moment of truth” for Russia.

“The famous 🇩🇪 German “Leopards”, 🇺🇸 US “Abrams” and so on are burning like ordinary types of movement, armed with one or another means of destruction. There is nothing unusual and nothing supernatural,” he stressed.
high cost weapons in war is a really dumb move.. Imagine bringing a Ferrari to a demolition derby when the other cars are a Toyota, your Ferrari will still get wrecked just like other cars that's cost only 10% of it

Putin using Africans as pawns in his games while you have foolish willing enablers.

You have to be the biggest fool to complain against "western colonialism" and then dive into the arms of a worse foreign power in Russia!

Russia's Wagner's activities across African countries should tell you that Russia is not in Africa for benevolent and altruistic purposes but resource exploitation.

Same as old imperial powers.
If you champion Africa's full independence, then that means campaigning against both powers both the west and the east.

Dollar keeps it's place of strength yet ordinary Americans need more than double to afford bread even as the Fed is on a crazy run hiking interest rates faster than Usain Bolt could sprint in a bid to avoid a pulpable slide into recession,
The most foolish Putard on God's green earth complaining about Fed hiking 0.25% every 3 months peaking at 5.25%

While Russia calls emergency meeting to hike by 3.5% in one day bringing Russia interest rate to a whopping 12%

That's 4.5% hiked in just 3 weeks

For any Putards wondering, it's extremely rare for a central bank to call emergency meeting

⚡️At the 🇷🇺 "Army-2023" forum, a mini-Radar system was presented for detecting small drones in urban environments.

Rostec introduced a multifunctional mobile radar station developed using domestic technology. These portable radar systems are capable of "seeing" small objects, including small drones, as well as surface and radio-transparent targets.

The station can operate effectively even when there are multiple targets within its field of view, such as a drone flying near a flock of birds.

By rotating its antennas, the radar can detect even stealthy UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) in a hovering mode. It can also detect vehicles at distances of over 10 km and boats or vessels at around 6 km away.

⚡️TNI: The fate of the Black Sea Grain Initiative depends on 🇹🇷 Turkey's "gift of persuasion."

The upcoming meeting between Putin and Erdogan could provide Turkey with a convenient opportunity to emphasize the importance of preserving the grain deal and persuade 🇷🇺 Russia to rejoin the agreement.

The West also hopes that Beijing will exert pressure on Moscow, as 🇨🇳 China has repeatedly highlighted the significance of the grain deal, even including it in its plan for a peaceful resolution of the 🇺🇦 Ukrainian conflict.

The 🇺🇸 United States could also assist in this matter "if it hindered Kiev's reckless actions on the Crimean Peninsula," notes the article's author.

Pls let's all ignore his bad energy and have fun. After all this thread was running just fine before he showed up.

The leaders and citizens of both countries at war are probably chilling and living their lives but someone here is having a nervous breakdown because of them.

⚡️The 🇷🇺 Russian ruble is falling due to the soft credit and monetary policy of the Central Bank of Russia. This was stated by Maxim Oreshkin, an aide to the President of Russia.

"The main source of ruble depreciation and accelerated inflation is the soft monetary policy.

The Central Bank has all the necessary tools to normalize the situation in the near future," Oreshkin said in a conversation with TASS.

I don't think Putards are as stupid as you want to see.

I agree that the news "Volkswagen returns to Russia" is nothing more than a clickbait headline.

If you dive deeper into the news than the PR headline, then what is it about?
Only that the new owner of Volkswagen's assets in Russia announced the rebranding of Volkswagen's former daughter.

Here is the news published by the new owner of German assets (original source):

Volkswagen Group Rus LLC announces the start of rebranding and will continue to operate under the name of AGR LLC / AGR Automotive Group

See here: https://agr.auto/news/1 (use the Google Translator, if you don't know russian)

I do not know why some journalists have distorted the message about the rebranding into the message "Volkswagen is coming back".

Maybe because AGR Automotive Group announced that he continues to supply spare parts and service for Volkswagen, Audi и Skoda models
(parallel import forever smiley)

Volkswagen can't come back even if it wanted to; at least not now.

Do you know the conditions under which Western companies are forced to sell their business in Russia to Russians?

This is a robbery on the high road in fact grin

here is a list of conditions approved by the Russian government after the start of the well-known events:

1) A discount of at least 50% of the market value, according to an independent assessment
2) payment to the budget in the amount of 10%, if the transaction is carried out with a discount of less than 90% of the market value
3) fulfillment by the buyer of the KPI - for the development of the company and the preservation of the staff
4) a ban on the withdrawal of funds from sales abroad for owners from unfriendly countries.

and in June of this year, the authorities introduced additional requirements:

1. Prohibition to enter into a repurchase option for a period of more than two years and control over the marketability of the transaction
2. The obligation to place up to 20% of the shares of the acquired PJSC on the stock exchange, regardless of the format in which the transaction is conducted
3. the requirement to conduct a listing even if the PJSC is liquidated as a result of the transaction or loses its public status.

.. Accordingly. Volkswagen has just given away its assets for a penny, and it can only get them back at the market price if it wants to return and it will have an advantage in repurchase only for two years..

Volkswagen does not have the economic situation to return back smiley

so Putards are not idiots at all.

Many Western companies have "left" Russia, but their enterprises have been working and are still working, only the names have changed. The equipment has remained, jobs have not been cut, and so on, it's just that stupid putards, not smart Europeans/Americans, are now making a profit.

yes, the news about Volkswagen's return to Russia is clickbait, fake.

But there is another news, maybe you will like it more:

Production of Volkswagen cars will begin in Uzbekistan. German automaker Volkswagen is considering the Jizzakh Auto plant in Uzbekistan as an assembly site for its products. As stated in the government decree, the local Ministry of Economy and Finance should develop documentation, conclude contracts with the bank, perform construction work and installation of equipment by December 2023.

Do you know that Uzbekistan is a member of the association of stupid putards, the Eurasec (formerly called the Customs Union)?

Putards may be stupid, but they are not greedy at all; it is very good for stupid putards if Uzbekistan (the former Soviet republic) can launch high-tech production at home.

If Volkswagen produces cars in Uzbekistan, then any russian putard (if he wants) will be able to buy new Volkswagen cars.

Buying them gave Russia government full control over those manufacturing companies compared to seized assets.
A seized assets can be returned if the conditions are meant.

I’m very sure one of Russia conditions to return to Grain deal will be return of Russia government seized money.

Now, many people knew that Putin never owned any property outside Russia, if you saw he comments when Russian millionaire properties were seized by EU and USA.

Yes, Russia very kindly provides Western companies with a "wide" choice when leaving Russia:

1. Not to get anything at all and forget the road to the Russian market forever

or

2. Get symbolic three pennies for their assets (which, moreover, cannot be withdrawn from Russia) in the hope that someday Russia's relations with Western countries will improve and the forgettable (not vindictive) Russians will let them back in.

By the way, Russians are actually VERY vindictive.

The Russians have a joke: we are not vindictive, we are just evil and our memory is very good (=we never forget anything).

⚡️NATO aircraft have been conducting reconnaissance near 🇷🇺 Crimea for the second consecutive day.

The RQ-4 Global Hawk reconnaissance drone of the US Air Force has been in the airspace over the Black Sea, south of the peninsula, for several hours.

Such drones have previously appeared in the southwestern part of the Black Sea shortly before attempts by the 🇺🇦 Ukrainian Armed Forces to strike the Crimean Bridge.
