More on the AK-19 from ArmyRecognition.com:

The legendary Kalashnikov AK platform has further evolved into the long-anticipated AK-19 assault rifle in the world market, chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO. The AK-19, like any Russian Kalashnikov assault rifle, gives confidence in every shot. With its telescopic stock and other technical solutions that improve ergonomics, the weapon is extremely handy to a soldier of any army in the world, regardless of his anthropometric data.

The AK-19 is equipped with a non-detachable slotted flash suppressor, a quick-detachable sound suppressor, an extended sight line and new sights. These technical solutions implemented by the developer meet modern warfare requirements.

“The world premiere of the AK-19 assault rifle will be conducted at the largest defense show in the Middle East, IDEX 2021, which will be held between February 21-25 in Abu Dhabi, the UAE,” the head of Kalashnikov press department Maria Vorobyeva told TASS on February 15.

According to the company, the AK-19 has already attracted the attention of some Middle Eastern customers using 5.56 mm cartridges as organic small arms ammunition. “The AK-19 can be reliably used round-the clock under hot climate conditions,” said Vorobyeva.
