Kazakhstan has launched its first small-caliber ammunition manufacturing plant, the country’s Kazakhstan Engineering (KE) state-run company announced on May 5, 2020. The company will be supposed to produce Soviet- and Russian-standard ammunition for small arms (presumably 9×18, 9×19, 5.45×39, 7.62×39, 7.62×54R, and 12.7×108 cartridges).
