Historian, researcher and armourer Vladimir Onokoy ( @machaksilver ) joins me to talk about his exciting new book about Zastava AK-pattern rifles! Vlad explains how he came to write his new book and talks us through the process, combining in-depth research, first hand accounts and hands on experience. The new book sheds new light on Zastava’s history, busts some long-held myths and highlights interesting variants and little-know prototypes.
You can pick up a copy of Vlad’s book ‘From Balkans to Babylon: Zastava AKs of Yugoslavia, Serbia, and Iraq’ , published by Safar Publishing ( @SafarPublishing ) here – https://www.safar-publishing.com/product-page/from-balkans-to-babylon-zastava-aks-of-yugoslavia-serbia-and-iraq?ref=ARMOURERSBENCH10h
