Kalashnikov

Few firearms hold the iconic status of the AK-47. Simple, reliable, and devastatingly effective, this assault rifle has transcended its military purpose to become a symbol of revolution, rebellion, and even national identity.

Fourteen-year-old Russian schoolboy David learned something new this month: firing accurately with a Kalashnikov is trickier than with a pistol.

According to the IDF, the commandos discovered a weapons stockpile during the assault that contained many Kalashnikov rifles, magazine ammunition, grenades, and explosives.

The survival training will be part of a subject called "Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Motherland."

Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa on Wednesday lamented that drugs and Kalashnikovs have destroyed Pakistan and insisted on eliminating the "Kalashnikov culture" from the country.

Wielding Soviet-designed Kalashnikov rifles, a group of Russian women with elaborate manicures and clad in camouflage are drilling different firing positions, first aiming on their knees and then their stomachs.

An Indo-Russian joint venture has started manufacturing Kalashnikov AK-203 assault rifles in Uttar Pradesh's Amethi, a move that will lend greater firepower to the Indian armed forces.

Every day Russia wages war on Ukraine, Mykola Kovalenko makes an anti-war poster.

"Next time it's gotta be Kalashnikov," he wrote

Ukrainian tennis player Sergiy Stakhovski is famous for defeating Roger Federer in 2013 and is now a volunteer fighter on a military patrol in Kyiv.

Ukrainian historian Yuriy Korchemniy has never fired an assault rifle in his life. But he joined scores of others and picked up a Kalashnikov to Ukraine's new volunteer defence units

Kalashnikov, the well-known Russian arms manufacturer, has been accused of stealing weapon designs from a video game developer. According to Ward B, the developers of the upcoming first person shooter Oceanic, Kalashnikov took its blueprints and turned them into a commercially accessible shotgun without giving the game makers any credit.

Russian Kalashnikov AK-47 and its derivatives have long been the assault rifle of choice for militant groups because of their rugged design, but some Taliban terrorists are trading them in for captured U.S. guns as Afghanistan's government collapses.

Russian arms manufacturer Kalashnikov plans to start making its AK-203 assault rifle in India this year and wants to attract a wider audience with a hi-tech shotgun, chief executive Dmitry Tarasov said.

Dozens of cadets and youngsters from Russia's Youth Army have been getting up close and personal with perhaps the world's most iconic firearm as their country marks the centenary of the birth of Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the legendary AK-47 rifle.
