The U.S. Army is buying almost 600,000 Soviet AK-47 magazines, enough to hold nearly 18,000,000 rounds of 7.62x39mm ammo which is not standard-issue for either the U.S. military or NATO.
A U.S. Army solicitation on the Federal Business Opportunities site asks for approximately 592,825 new AK 30-round magazines.
The solicitation even refers to the magazines as being for “non-standard weapons.”
More specifically, they are for the AK-47 designed by the Soviet Union at the start of the Cold War, which is now commonly used by opposition forces in proxy wars around the world.
This magazine order is an astronomical amount.
Assuming an individual, unloaded magazine weight of 0.95 pounds, all of these magazines combined weigh more than the operating weight of a Lockheed Martin C-5 Galaxy, one of the largest aircraft in the world.
The C-5 Galaxy wouldn’t even be able to carry all of these magazines. Two trips would be necessary.

I would assume they're for our mujahadeen "allies" in the ME or some other "non-standard" allies.
ReplyDeleteI guess so, but I could use a few more.:)
Deleteit's getting hotter and hotter every day!
ReplyDeleteSeems like I member that you have an AK.
DeleteThey are also buying non NATO ammo 7.62x39/9 mm makarov. I gather this is to be stockpiled stateside.
ReplyDeleteYes and I believe that came out recently also.
DeleteIt could be very well be for the M.E. But on the other hand just continue to connect the dots, now add to that matrix the Russians coming over to Region 3 supposedly, which Clinton authorized and Obama permitted.
DeleteConnect the dots and wonder what the intent is for 2 billion rounds, 2700 MRAP's for the DHS, the disassembling of the B.O.R Obama openly stating he'll go around congress.
Yes the final destination could be to our new allies the Freedom Fighters, Al Qaeda, but then again the 2 billion rounds, 2700 MRAP's are for practice also!
Certainly could and our eyes and ears are open.
