So the design is Soviet... but China actually made them... and probably still does.

(29,199 posts)it's been a long time... history of the AK-47
gladium et scutum
(806 posts)Believe the AK-47 was accepted for service in the Soviet Army until 1949. What the Chinese Army and the North Korean Army were equipped with was the PPSh-41 (aka the burp gun). The Soviets made millions of them and gave plenty to the Chinese. The Chinese also began manufacturing the PPSh. These weapons would have been considered obsolete by the Soviets once the adopted the AK-47.

Russian involvement in the Middle East is more than having a warm water port, they want to advertise and sell their weapons to whoever is buying.
