Kord-12.7mm

History

The Kord heavy machine gun is the latest in a line of excellent Soviet-Russian heavy machine guns dating back to the dark days of World War II. The design of the weapon began in the 1990s and production increased in 1998. Today, the Kord series has replaced the venerable 1970s frontline "NSV" series (itself a replacement for the ubiquitous WWII-era DShK series) with the Russian Armed Forces, and has played various roles in his relatively short career. roles so far. Both the Russian police force and the military use Kod heavy machine guns.

The production of all Kord machine guns takes place at the V.A. Degtyarev factory in Russia.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the Soviet Army used the NSV series of heavy machine guns extensively in various missions to attack threats and threats from lightly armored vehicles, excavated enemy concentrations, and low-flying aircraft (especially helicopters) airplane. Beginning in 1990, much of the Soviet Union's political, social and economic fronts suffered enormous difficulties, forcing the total collapse of the Empire and the independence of its 15 republics. This resulted in the cutting off of some of the resources and manufacturing facilities the Soviet military relied on, as Russia's military budget was also cut, and the development of key systems either stalled or stopped altogether.

The bulk of the NSV series produced in the Soviet Union happened to be concentrated in today's Kazakhstan region, so these facilities were effectively eliminated during the transition period. For the remainder of the decade, the new Russian authorities entrusted the well-known Degtyarev with the design and development of a new modern heavy machine gun solution in the same style as the previous NSV (including the use of Soviet-era 12.7x108 mm cartridges, easy). buildings and higher fire rates). The result was the look-alike Korg series of heavy automatic weapons that later became Russia's new military standard - and today, the NSV continues to serve in countries formerly allied with the Soviet Union.

The Korg HMG entered service with the Russian Armed Forces in 1998 and production is still ongoing.
