    Andy_UA,
    Would it be possible to briefly summarize this article for non Russian speakers? Running it through an online translator is a miserable experience.

    Best Regards

    Nothing really interesting, just that the new rfle will be selected on the basis of a contest, and author speculates that Izhmash will submit its much touted but little seen 200 series AK.

    I guess it means that if the start point or\and target would be higher-there will be some problems.

    My impression is AK-200 series is already in use with Special Forces of FSB and others , from what has been seen with photos etc the AK-200 series is just a better AK-74 with Picatini rails , balanced recoil mechanism and few other improvements , Just taking the best out of AK-74 and AK-100 series , correct me if i am wrong here.

    I see no problem in the timeline. The production rate is/will be at least 12 a year.
    2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 = 4x 12= 48.

    I don't know how many are being built right now, they take some time to get finished so I would assume that there are some under construction right now.

    PS The name is Su-35S, not BM.

    I hope they don't think tacticooling up a 74 will make it through the selection process. So its the inside that's most interesting.
