93-year-old Mikhail Kalashnikov has been flown to Moscow for hospital treatment on an Emergencies Ministry plane after being taken ill in his home city of Izhevsk. The iconic gunsmith is said to be in a serious condition.
The inventor of the AK-47 assault rifle endured the flight well and has been sent to undergo medical treatment in a Central military hospital in the Russian capital, reports Itar-Tass.
Kalashnikov had been admitted to a cardiology hospital in the city of Izhevsk, in the Urals, after suffering a pulmonary thrombosis, when doctors “decided to send Kalashnikov to a Moscow’s clinic for medical supervision,” said Emergencies Ministry’s spokesperson Irina Rossius.

My Comment: This is not he first time that he has been sick. As for his AK-47 .... I have test fired it on a number of occasions, and while I do like the AR-15 .... for some reason .... and it must be the Russian in me (my nationality is Russian) .... I have always preferred the AK-47. On a sad note .... I now live in Canada where the AK-47 is banned .... but I will confess that when I go back to the old country .... I have always made a point of visiting the firing range with my cousins.
