Russia: Rosgvardiya to acquire Kalashnikov AK-204 carbines
Russia`s National Guard (Rosgvardiya) is planning to acquire a batch of Kalashnikov AK-204 carbines developed by the Kalashnikov Group (a subsidiary of Rostec state corporation), according to Russian media outlets. A source from the service said the Rosgvardiya would buy the AK-204 carbines "at an early date". He did not specify neither terms nor number of the firearms set to be acquired.
The AK-204 carbine is a shortened variant of the AK-203 and has the same empty weight. Like the AK-203 assault rifle, the AK-204 carbine has non-detachable iron sights. (Picture source: Kalashnikov) |
