I’d like to ask the folks at Business Insider what the last time someone sold a “Battleship” was?

Anybody can write for yahoo/business insider, including your grandma, your neighbor, your dog or the janitor inside the department of sewage.
Yahoo pays its writers fractions of pennies for each hit on an article.

Soviet block weapons are designed to be cheap to produce and simple to maintain. As I recall from Viet Nam days, the SK-47 had a fraction of the moving parts of an M-16 and much sloppier tolerances. These two factors alone made it less expensive to produce and simpler to maintain. Perfect attributes for 3rd world markets.
