Russian paratroopers received the latest RPL-20 machine guns

Stavropol and Novorossiysk paratroopers have begun to master the serial RPL-20 belt-fed machine gun. This was reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The machine gun surpasses its predecessor, the RPKS-74, and was refined based on the recommendations of the Airborne Forces assault units.

The RPL-20 is made in a "multicam" color scheme, which is used for the first time in the production of small arms. This decision became necessary for maximum camouflage of military personnel and their weapons in various combat conditions.

The machine gun was developed in two versions: with barrel lengths of 415 mm (for assault units) and 590 mm (general-purpose version), the RPL-20 is compatible with a wide range of accessories and additional equipment.
