The Pentagon has placed a request for purchase of replicas of Soviet weapons

The Pentagon has placed a request for a batch of full-size models of some Soviet weapons for the Fort Benning military base.

“This proposal is currently unfunded, but funds are expected to be received for its implementation”, –  the application says.

 

The Pentagon is interested in mock-ups of Kalashnikov grenade launchers, submachine guns and machine guns, Dragunov sniper rifle, as well as grenades that must be made of heavy-duty urethane to “withstand years of training”.

The agency’s request states that the products will be used for training purposes, including the development of “enemy weapon skills”.
