Though USSOCOM is starting with a pair of Russian machine guns, the research proposal speaks of foreign-made weapons in general. “Developing a domestic production capability for foreign-like weapons addresses these issues while being cost effective as well as strengthens the nation’s military-industrial complex, ensures a reliable and secure supply chain, and reduces acquisition lead times." One wonders whether there could be a copyright issue with producing Russian weapons in America without a license, though Russian and Chinese spies haven’t been reticent about helping themselves to U.S. technology. Either way, it seems like a sensible and economical idea to produce foreign weapons in America, rather than having to procure them from unreliable or unsavory international arms merchants.
Why would U.S. special forces want to manufacture Russian machine guns?

WNU Editor: I say buy it directly from the Russian manufacturers themselves .... it would be cheaper. But yes .... I know that such a deal is not going to happen.

If Russia and America was in a good relationship, the question would not be existing.
One of my favorite movie quotes. From, "Lord of War" :

From Iraq to Syria and everywhere in between you'd think that the u.s would have 1000s to send home.
Or is it just American weapons throughout the middle east?
I think the US should not copy Russian designs without paying them. If the US goes down that road it would lower itself to the levels of China. Respect Russian engineering and pay them just as other nations.
Anon. Should the US steal designs for weapons from another nation it would be an item that is so low on the list of things the USA has done to debase itself that it wouldn't even hit the MSM.
