“The AK-19 uses the 5.56x45 mm cartridge, which was adopted by NATO and is widely used in the world. Thus, our newest machine is completely focused on the foreign market. Presenting the AK-19 at the largest international arms exhibition IDEX, we are sure of great interest in it from foreign customers, the first applications from which have already been received,” said Dmitry Tarasov, General Director of the Kalashnikov Group of Companies.

The assault rifle is based on the AK-12, which was adopted by the Russian Armed Forces in 2018. AK-19 is equipped with Picatinny rails, a telescopic butt of an original design, a new diopter sight, and a quick-release device for silent and flameless shooting.

The assault rifle has already gained the interest of a number of customers in the Middle East who use 5.56x45 mm cartridges. In hot, humid climates and dusty conditions, the AK-19 will provide the efficiency of daily use, reliability, and ease of maintenance.
