Historical profile
Introduced in 2016 by Ukrainian Armor in partnership with WAC (Wilkinson Arms / Vepr), designed to exploit the huge stocks of 7.62×39 ammunition and AK magazines in Ukrainian service.
Adopted in limited numbers by the Ukrainian National Guard as a transitional weapon between Soviet and NATO platforms.
It is distinguished by a dedicated lower receiver accepting AK magazines without adapters and the option to mount an M203 grenade launcher.
