Russia has expressed its concern over illegal production of Kalashnikov assault rifles including arsenal by Bulgarian companies, according to RIA Novosti.
The nation faces major losses due to the illegal manufacture of the rifles in 15 countries and accounts for only 10%-12% of the million Kalashnikov rifles sold globally every year.
China is the only country that manufactures the Kalashnikov rifle and its modifications with a valid licence.
