The “Digitarev” factory has started producing the new Russian rifle “AEK-971”

AEK-971 or A-545 rifle

The factory newspaper stated That : “A request was made for the first batch of the 5.45 mm machine gun, which is a very complex product in manufacturing. Now it is in the stage of developing some parts of the machine.”

The A-545 or AEK-971 participated with the AK-12 in the competition for a new rifle for the Russian army. Both samples were approved for service. The main difference between the A-545 and the Kalashnikov rifle is the operating mechanism. The new development is the complexity of the design and the increase in production price.

Coronavirus may be giving “Beijing” an opening in the South China Sea

As the United States military was embroiled in controversy over its handling of an outbreak of coronavirus on one of its Pacific aircraft carriers, China was resuming operations in the South China Sea.

In the past week, the English language website of the People’s Liberation Army has posted stories on large-scale naval exercises and the sinking of a Vietnamese fishing boat. In addition, it also announced the ramping up of military industries in Wuhan, the original epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic.The South China Sea drills came after the US aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt passed through those waters on its way to Guam, where it is now docked after more than 170 cases of coronavirus have been reported aboard the ship.

Find out more about the new General Dynamics Armoured Fighting Vehicle ” Ajax “

The Ajax, , is a family of armoured fighting vehicles being developed by General Dynamics UK specialy for the British Army.

=>The Ajax Specialist Vehicle ( formerly known as the Scout SV ) is manufactured and designed by General Dynamics UK and General Dynamics Santa Bárbara Sistemas (Spain), with the new turret and fire control system fitted on the Reconnaissance variant being designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin UK. Lockheed Martin is working closely with the Defence Support Group for turret manufacture and assembly as well as Rheinmetall. 75% of turret and CT40 work will be carried out in the UK. The turret ring is 1.7 m in diameter, allowing for much more work-space than comparable AFVs. The Scout SV is also equipped with a state of the art ISTAR package with advanced sensors and space for further future growth. This advanced ISTAR package allows for automated search, tracking and detection, more than doubling stand-off range at which targets can be identified and tracked.

=>The Ajax has a 20 Gbit/s Ethernet intelligent open architecture, which enables it to capture, process and store six TBs of information gathered by the sensors. It can then share this data, be it images or other information, via a real-time integrated BOWMAN communication system as fitted to the Challenger 2. Power for these systems comes from a silent auxiliary power generator. 80% of the vehicle manufacture will be completed in the UK, with 70% of the supply chain companies UK-based. Five pre-production prototypes will be produced in Spain for further development and testing. The Ajax family will support 300 jobs at General Dynamics UK’s facility in South Wales and an estimated further 1000 jobs in the UK supply chain.
