AEK-971



Since 1981 took place in the Soviet union bankrupt with the code name ABAKAN on the new weapon, which should replace the AK-74. The aim was to increase the üčinnosti fire - way of reducing the variance, especially when shooting 2-3ranovými doses.
In bankruptcy entered a total of 8 prototypes of all design offices, behind which stood such names as Stěčkin, Korobov, Afanasjev, Kalashnikov younger and more. The common state of comparative tests were carried out in the years 1984 and 1986, and according to the award, who emphasizes on the dispersion and stability of the weapons at doses of about 2-3 wounds, with the deserving winner of the become a design Gennady Nikonova from Iževské factory. The designers of the Iževska built two prototypes with the new mechanism, in which the zakluzující matter (including mainly) run out of position to the rear position after firing the second charge, which in the meantime retracts into the barrel of a special feeder driven through a pulley rod. The result is that the two shots are made in a very short interval
(cadence 1800-2000 rounds/minute) and before the shooter feels the recoil. When shooting at 100 m with the supportive interventions of these two shots for a good shooter's touch, also significantly diminished the variance image in all shooting positions.
That are unfortunately the benefits are exhausted and picking up the negatives. The life of the gun is according to the requirement of the bankruptcy 10.000 shots in production price on line 19.000 rubles, against a lifetime of 30,000 shots, and 3.500 rubles for the AK 100 series, the weapon is significantly more challenging to maintenance.
When testing in the army it was noted that the disassembly and mainly strip an assault rifle the first time can almost no one without the help of an instructor, obliquely placed the tray makes it difficult to aim at fast přilícení and experienced shooters.
For these reasons, together with the amount of weapons of older models, it is unlikely that there would be a massive rearming of the Russian army and for strategic reasons isn't even offered for export.

On the contrary, the "failure" in bankruptcy, Abakan made the competitors, who come together at the end with a gun welcoming mr nikonov. This is another weapon from the Iževska AK-107 and AEK 971 from Kovrovského race Děgtjareva. Both are based on the principle of "sbalancované automatics" according to the patent of the swiss firm Haemmerli of 60 years. The principle lies in the fact that the gases from the barrel does not grant an impulse only on the gas piston and the breech towards backward but at the same time also kinematic restrained -- the counterweight in a forward direction. Recoil and heeling moment are minimized. Dispersion is not as great as with the AN-94, but is achieved at arbitrarily long batches, the usual rate of fire 800-900 rounds/min, which is more friendly for the barrel. On Youtube to find a video in which a factory shooter from the AEK-971 gets into the black center of the target contents of the container several long bursts. The designers in Kovrovu also solved the assembly concluded with protizávažim as a single unit and stripping and sborka weapons remained as simple as in the old AK 47 and 74. There is no loss of small parts or the possibility of improper composition, the AEK-971 is also a pleasant 550 grams lighter than the AN-94. Gun is kovrovskou zbrojovka and Rosoboronexportem offered without restrictions to any public entity in Russia and abroad. On the menu are the AEK-971 in the caliber of 5.45 x 39, AEK-972 in 5.56 x 45 and the AEK-973 in 7.62 x 39. At the various fairs I have in the last 10 years have seen at least 4 different modifications of the stock and pistol grip. The gun has a classic miřidla of AK and is equipped with the same classic side rail for mounting optical sights. Even the technology of production molding and by riveting is the same as for the AK, as well as trays.
Reliable odlišovacím feature is so the cover of the gas piston (and the counterweight) over the main, which extends from the visor to aim. With this specific design it is unlikely that there was a version with a shortened barrel.

Arms are doing good advertising in addition to the army rangers and units of the MVD OMON, the AEK-971 is, therefore, probably made and used in a larger number of pieces than the winner of the bankruptcy of the AN-94, which rightfully belongs to the name of ABAKAN.

Project ABAKAN thirty years after.

The Russian factory in the past three-four years to finally understand how capitalism works and to stop stubbornly to offer the Russian army the weapons that are greater than the previous model in any parameter of 1.3 x or foreign analogues of 2,5 x. Instead, set off to the designers for a demonstration of the action of the special forces, where they found that these units keep selected the AK-74 in Russian tuning companies edit, especially the addition of the mounting rails and the following assembly of the elements usnadńující aiming, or even possession of weapons.

Certified AEK-971 was in Kovrovu transformed into a model A-545, which is prepared for the new army audition. The machine already had some sub-tests and the received index GRAU 6P67.
Due to the fact that its only competitor will be the AK-12, and no AN-94 or AK-107 (in the version of the Sajga Mk.107), we can say that the rules of the original bankruptcy has not been set completely correctly, and my favorite of the AEK-971 has after 30 years a chance to finally prove himself in a larger scale.

The form of the weapons of the Oboronexpo 2014 may not yet be final.

Diskuse

The AEK 971-973 is really the best thing a Russian infantryman can have in his armament at the moment. The chief designer, Koksharov, has also quite accurately captured the overall philosophy and mindset of the average Russian soldier by bringing to near-perfection what Kaleshnikov created and Russian soldiers have been used to for decades.
The situation is different with the AN 94 weapon, where it is a real "quantum" leap from anything ever invented and brought to life in Russia (and the world) in this area. For this reason, it also seems to me that any simple comparison between the AEK 971 and the AN 94 is not entirely appropriate, despite the fact that it is a weapon intended to be used for the same purpose. Obviously the AN 94 has its shortcomings as well, however, I believe that the offset magazine will probably not be the main problem.
The mass introduction of such a weapon (not to mention the high price) requires, among other things, fundamental changes in training, tactical principles of use in combat, and in the overall philosophy and mindset of soldiers. I feel that the Russian military is neither organizationally nor logistically prepared to deal with these problems. You could say that Nikonov was a bit ahead of his time here.

I have the impression that this weapon is a bit better ergonomically designed and probably more user friendly compared to the CZ 805 Bren. Or maybe it's just an impression. It's hard to say.

for me the bren was ergonomically terrible. But unfortunately, it has political qualities.


A-545- I caught some information that in the project the ratnik beat AK-12, even at the show there were soldiers with ratnik with A-545 in their hands, next to them soldiers with the same equipment and AK-74M

At the beginning of the year, the Russian press reported on the completion of the first phase of the RATNIK project, which consists of 56 components of equipment and armaments.
An order was given for the production of 50,000 kits and at the same time the RATNIK 2 stage was started, in which comments from activities in the Arctic will be incorporated.
areas and in Syria.
Because my favorite AEK 971 was, as expected, again better in shooting skills, but again ended up being able to order any component
admády any number of pieces, but they will be mass-produced AK-12, I asked Russian friends where the problem is. As usual, the manufacturer emphasizes
only the positive aspects of the product and nowhere does it state parameters in which it is worse than the competition. Patented design of telescopic balanced
Finally, it uses gear designs that require larger reserves of force for dirt and wear. As a result, the tensioning force is considerably higher than the AK-74
and the mechanism is an element limiting the life of the weapon to 10,000 rounds.
The AK-12 maintains the same low production cost with a slight improvement in parameters, and the service life can be significantly longer when using three-shot batches.
