Kalashnikov faces bankruptcy - The Globe and Mail
The article gave me a shock, or maybe I've been away for too long. It's sad to see Izhmash go. If it does, then who's gonna make all the AKs for Russian Ground Forces or even the entire Defense Ministry? Let's not forget the Interior Troops of the MVD and Border Guards... Are they gonna be forced to buy from China instead? (It would be ironic, Chinese copies and counterfeits of the gun are one of the reasons why Izhmash is having this problem)
If this is to happen, Russia will have an even darker future for it's armed forces. With the way things are going, it's already bad enough.
Mr. Kalashnikov should've put a patent on the thing...
