It is a fact that the number of people killed by AK-47 assault rifles is even greater than that of nuclear bombs in all wars.

Not a nuclear bomb, the truest weapon of mass destruction ever created by the Soviet Union was the AK-47, the country's legendary assault rifle and the most successful gun design in human history. Photo source: Gettyimg. |

Mass-produced since 1949, the AK-47 has proven its durability as it can operate in any environment, any condition, does not require regular maintenance and has extremely great destructive power. Photo source: Kavkaz. |

To date, a total of about 75 million AK-47s have been officially produced. If we count the number of AK-47s that are fake, homemade, unofficially produced, etc., this number will probably reach 100 million. Photo source: Lunatic. |

This is also the only gun in the world that appears on... the national flag of a country. Almost every war, every armed conflict since the 1950s has had the AK-47 in its wake. There are no statistics on the number of people who have been killed by the AK-47 since it was put into use, but given its popularity, its number of victims must certainly be much higher than that of the atomic bomb.

The second name that needs to be mentioned is the T-34 tank, produced from 1940 to the late 60s. The T-34 is also considered one of the most powerful weapons. |

Like all Soviet weapons, the T-34 was effective, cheap, durable, easy to repair, easy to operate and easy to maintain. Photo source: Debate. |
 |
In total, more than 150,000 T-34 tanks were produced by 1996. The T-34 is still in service with 27 countries around the world. Even as of 2012, a few African countries continue to use this type of tank in their official service. Photo source: Pinterest. |

Given the rather beautiful name of "Stalin's organ" by the Nazis, the Kachiusa rocket launcher was truly one of the weapons that truly embodied the Soviet Union's total war philosophy during the most intense period of World War II. Photo source: Defency. |

The philosophy is to make up for quality with quantity. The concrete manifestation here is that the Cachiusa systems have very low accuracy, very large bullet dispersion, but when used in combination with about a dozen Cachiusa systems together and aimed at the same area, within a radius of several kilometers around that area will certainly become flatland.

Born in 1939, the Katyusha rocket launchers are still in use today, of course with many improvements compared to the original version. Photo source: WWII. |

During the Korean War, the Soviet Union's first generation jet fighters, the MiG-15, defeated all enemy fixed-wing aircraft, making it one of the most legendary and fearsome fighters of the 1950s. Photo source: MiGfu. |

This is also considered the most produced jet fighter in the world, of which the Soviet Union produced about 12,000 MiG-15s and if counting the number licensed for production abroad, this number could be up to 18,000. Photo source: MiGfu. |

The Vietnam People's Air Force also once owned this legendary aircraft. It can be said that the MiG-15 is the |

If the number of victims killed by the AK-47 is greater than any other weapon, then the number of tanks |

Introduced in 1961, the RPG-7 is quite effective, durable, cheap and easy to use. To date, over 9 million RPG-7 anti-tank guns have been produced. Photo source: Fine. |

Although today's advanced anti-tank guns continue to appear to overshadow the RPG-7, its longevity on the battlefield is still immortal. Like the AK-47, the RPG-7 has been seen in almost every conflict since its inception and it deserves to be honored. |
