Many interesting questions surround this modern-looking AK gun. According to the latest information, this is the AKM version that Vietnam has improved and put into production, called STL-A1. It is no surprise that the creativity and technical mastery of the Vietnamese defense engineering team.

In recent years, Vietnam has gradually become self-sufficient in the production of weapons and ammunition. We have mastered the technology to produce PKTM light machine guns, NSV heavy machine guns, AGS-17 multiple rocket launchers, M-203 and M-79 grenade launchers, SPG-9 anti-tank guns, M-18, Galil, AKM, K-54 submachine guns, etc.

From the previous foundations, the team of officers, engineers, and factory workers continuously improved to create new products, including the K-14 pistol, an improvement from the K-54 model with many outstanding advantages, such as carrying more bullets, longer range, better bullet accuracy, and the STL-A1 assault rifle, an improvement from the AKM model.

Currently, the gun is produced and equipped in limited quantities to evaluate its effectiveness in practice. In the future, it is hoped that the STL-A1 gun line will replace the role of the AKM, along with the Galil Ace replacing the role of the AK-47, to become an effective weapon pair, enhancing the combat power of the heroic Vietnam People's Army./.
