Re: AM-17 to start production in 2025, per Kalashnikov Concern
2https://mil.in.ua/en/news/kalashnikov-c ... u-in-2025/Despite the manufacturer’s claims of high reliability and the “pinnacle of development” of this rifle, the situation may repeat itself, as with the new AK-12 assault rifles used by the Russian military, which have several problems. The problems that plague the AK-12 to this day include poor build quality, low-quality composite materials, and corrosion of metal elements, including the gas piston, barrel channel, and other parts.
Advantage to the Ukrainians supplied with Western firearms.
