‘’’Russian weapons today may be cheap but they are, with limited exceptions, obsolete and inferior.’’’
That’s rather dated way to see things and it is not only about weapons. I’d say most Russian-made consumer goods nowadays are better than average. I mean these are closer to the German quality that to a Chinese one.
You won’t have much trouble even with newer Lada these days.
Please, never use the word quality and China in the same sentence.
I have no idea about that because Russian consumer products rarely find their way to my venue at the northern edge of Florida. I have fired an AK-47 though. It impressed me as crudely made but fully deserving of its lethal reputation. It is now considered obsolete though due to its relative lack of accuracy and unsuitability for attachments.
