JAKARTA - The army continues to receive new weapons, along with the modernization of its defense equipment that the country continues to carry out using the latest technology.

Most recently, the Central Research Institute of Precision Machine-Building (TsNIITochMash, part of the arms maker Kalashnikov in the state technology company Rostec) has sent the first batch of cartridges for 6P72 Udav self-loading pistols to Russian troops, Kalashnikov's press office announced on Tuesday.

The TsNIITHMash has delivered the first batch of ammunition for the new 9mm 6P72 self-loading pistol. The shipping batch includes 9mm bullets with an enhanced penetration capacity (index 7N42) and a 9mm bullet casing with a reduced bullet speed (index 7U4), the office press said in a statement, launching TASS November 29.

As reported in August, the third batch of Udav pistols is ready to be sent to Russian troops. It was also revealed that documents regarding the acceptance of sophisticated pistols for assignments had not been signed.

The pilot batch is an industrial consignment launched to ensure the readiness of certain items for its production.

Udav, developed by TsNIITochMash, in its latest design combines original solutions that provide some advantages over CZ, Go clock, Walther, banyan and others.

Patent technology includes a magazine design as an indicator of the number of rounds, which helps determine the fully charged magasine both visually and tactically.

In addition, the set of pistol equipment includes a damper with a replaceable heat absorber module, as well as two types of bullets with additional penetration capacity and reduced bullet speed.

It is known, the Udav pistol has an effective shooting range of 100 meters. The pistol is capable of penetrating bullet-proof vests (including fabric vets) and Type II helmets at a distance of up to 75 meters.

In addition, the Udav pistol can operate in the temperature range minus 50 degrees to plus 50 degrees Celsius.
