Moscow – Rosoboronexports, Russian state-run arms exports, said that ten countries have applied for licenses to construct plants to manufacture Kalashnikov weapons.
A majority of the countries are in Latin America and the Middle East. Two known countries interested in licenses are China and Venezuela. Venezuela has agreements for two plants. One is to create Kalashnikov rifles and the other to create its ammunition.
Russia is making up for its loss of sales from the illegally manufactured AK-47 copies mostly in the former Soviet states.
