RUSSIA INVESTS AK RIFLES FACTORY IN PHILIPPINES

A bilateral agreement has come on board as Russia will invest an AK Rifles factory in the Philippines. They believe it is time for the Philippines to “diversify” defense and other forms of cooperation with other countries, without damaging its traditional alliances.

If the Duterte will approve, immediately after, Russia will fund for the production of assault rifles, including Kalashnikovs.

The Kalashnikov range of assault rifles includes the AK-47 – Avtomat Kalasknikov or Kalashnikov’s Automatic Rifle, arguably the most widely used of its kind in the world. Developed by Mikhail Kalashnikov, the AK-47 was first used by Soviet forces in 1949. Kalashnikov also produces shotguns, rifles, pistols and ammunition.
