[REGNUM] The newest submachine gun PPK-20 should enter service with the Russian armed forces by the end of the year, Alan Lushnikov , president of the Kalashnikov concern, told reporters on August 14.
"We believe that this is the best submachine gun in the world for the next 20 years."
In addition, it is planned to equip Russian troops with the Chukavin sniper rifle this year.
As REGNUM previously reported , the PPK-20 was presented by Kalashnikov at the Army-2020 forum. The nine-millimeter pistol was developed on the basis of the Vityaz-SN, and is its improved version. For example, it included a low-noise shooting device.
