Wide experience gained over two centuries, rich traditions, huge research and technical potentials and, most of all, talented developers help manufacture weapons that have a good reputation worldwide. The weapons incorporate the best innovations of the famous Kalashnikov assault rifle and SVD Dragunov sniper rifle.
Combat small arms, service weapons intended for special units, sports and hunting weapons, aircraft guns and test vehicles intended for guided armament systems make up a small part of the complete list of products that Izhevsk weapon makers can offer their customers.
The AK-101, AK-102, AK-103, AK-104 and AK-105 assault rifles are developed from the AK-74M Kalashnikov assault rifle. These assault rifles constitute the whole family of the so-called 100th series, chambered for internationally used calibers, including 7.62x39 mm, 5.45x39 mm and 5.56x45 mm NATO.
Rifled and smoothbore models of hunting carbines, dubbed Saiga, are also developed from the baseline Kalashnikov assault rifle that is famous for high reliability, efficiency and simple design.
