Kalashnikov saw obvious changes in the fighting in the SMO area

Alan Lushnikov, the head of Kalashnikov Concern JSC and a member of the Bureau of the Russian Engineering Union, expressed his conviction in a long interview with TASS that the nature of hostilities in the SMO zone has changed markedly. Hence the loss of relevance of some weapons. For example, the same drones.

"The drones that we started producing (...) in 2023 are no longer as in demand as they were at the time of production. The nature of the conduct of hostilities has changed radically," Lushnikov believes.

Thus, the expert sees the need for constant development of various areas of armament.

EADaily previously informed about the unique characteristics of the Chukavin sniper rifle, which were named in the Kalashnikov concern.
