Kedr

For Ukraine, the Russian PP-91 Kedr machine pistol is quite a rare weapon, even despite the large-scale war with Russia.

The Russian PP-91 Kedr machine pistol was created in the early 1990s by order of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and was based on Soviet developments.

The design was taken from a PP-71 machine pistol that was created by gunsmith Y. Dragunov. His initials are encrypted in the name of the weapon – “Design of Yevgeny Dragunov.”

The submachine gun uses a standard cartridge caliber of 9×18mm PM. The capacity of the box magazine is twenty or thirty rounds. Among the obvious advantages of the PP-91 are its compactness, light weight, and thoughtful shape.

Recall that in July, a rare Alien pistol was spotted in the service of soldiers escorting President Zelensky and the Head of the DIU, Budanov.
