Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Kalashnikov Concern’s shooting range and tested the company's brand new sniper rifle in Kubinka. After inspecting the experimental samples of the rifles, Putin shot five times with an SVCh-308 (Chukavin sniper’s rifle) rifle at a target from a distance of 600 meters. Three of the president's shots successfully hit the target.
Russian arms manufacturer Lobaev demonstrated its record-breaking ultra long-range SVLK-14 'Sumrak' bolt action sniper rifle, in the Russian town of Tarussa. Earlier in October, Russian marksman Andrei Ryabinski reportedly set a new world record after hitting a 1-metre square target placed at 13,812 feet away, or 2.6 miles with the Sumrak, which means 'Twilight' in Russian.
Russian weapons have a reputation for being some of the best in the world and military manufacturers continue to develop new innovations which are sure to make a huge difference on the battlefields of tomorrow. The latest such innovation is the T-5000 'Tochnost' sniper rifle, the next generation of long distance high precision weaponry destined for use by the Russian Army and Special Forces.
These wooden pistols are exact model replicas of classic Russian weapons and they are now available as hobby constructor kits marketed as a good old father and son activity. Russian manufacturer T.A.R.G. builds wooden pistol constructor kits with children in mind, so that kids can assemble various firearms including the Makarov pistol, the legendary COMBAT M1911 and others without too much trouble. The distinctive features of T.A.R.G. designs are that the weapon models are constructed with moving internal mechanisms, which imitate the sound of shots. The finishing touches include replicas of the little details found on the real weapons, like engravings and textures, made out of plywood. Users put the guns together by hand and complete their home-made wooden pistol replica with white craft glue. The producing company claims that kits help children to develop spatial thinking and small motility, alongside giving them an idea of how elementary mechanisms work. T.A.R.G. produces weapon kits only from eco-friendly and safe materials.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg urges the United States to stick with Europe as the military alliance turned 75 on Thursday under the shadow of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the spectre of Donald Trump's possible return to power in the US. "I don't believe in America alone, just as I don't believe in Europe alone. I believe in America and Europe together in NATO because we are stronger and safer together," Stoltenberg says at a ceremony at NATO headquarters in Brussels. SOUNDBITE
