“Over the nine months of 2015, the deliveries of civilian firearms in the Asian-Pacific region increased almost ninefold in absolute terms and fivefold in money terms in comparison with entire year 2014,” Krivoruchko told RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the “Defense & Security – 2015” international defense and security exhibition.

At Defense & Security 2015 in Thailand, The Russian Company Kalashnikov Concern presents its full range of new AK family of assault rifles including the AK-101, AK-102, AK-103, AK-104.

The AK-101 is an assault rifle of the Kalashnikov series. The AK-101 is designed for the world export market, using 5.56×45mm NATO cartridges, which is the standard of most NATO armies. The AK-101 is marketed at those looking for a weapon that combines the logistical compatibility and familiarity of the 5.56×45mm NATO round with the reliability of a Kalashnikov.

The AK-102 assault rifle is a shortened carbine version of the AK-101 rifle, which in turn was derived from the original AK-47 design and its AK-74 successor. The AK-102, AK-104, and AK-105 are very similar in design, the only difference being the caliber and corresponding magazine type. The AK-102 is an export version chambered to fire 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition.
