The new paint can withstand temperatures of about 800°C. This figure is more than twice the quality of the previous coating.

Metal will flow faster before this coating burns. Such paints exist. Now we will offer the Ministry of Defense new types of base coatings - black as is or basic "forest", a protective color different from black. Already this year, we are switching to large-scale production of basic colors that will differ from black.
Sergey Urzhumtsev, General Designer of the Kalashnikov Concern

The new coating will provide additional protection for weapons in high temperature conditions. A camouflage pattern can be applied over the base color.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that Kalashnikov for the first time presented the latest shortened AK-12K and AK-12SK assault rifles.
