Why Russian Army switched to the AK-74 Primary Rifle

AK-74 Primary Rifle

Its not as famous as the AK-47 but the AK-74 changed Russia’s tactics and have a profound impact on firearms. When Russian soldiers stormed Crimea in 2014 everyone in the media said they were carrying AK47s which I’m sure probably triggered a lot of you out there because those were actually the much underappreciated AK74! Way to go media get it together out there. But make no mistake the rifle definitely continued the mythic-like status and tradition of its predecessor.
