Krink, Krinkov, Kalashnikov: The Story of an Icon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 янв 2020
- The AKS74U is perhaps one of the more interesting Kalashnikov variants that has spawned a following all over the world due to its compact size and effects as a status symbol in the United States, Middle East, and Central Asia. The name itself is one such example of that following that continues today. Coming from Pashtu origins in the midst of the Soviet-Afghan War, Krinkov has been turned into Krink in the US context and is still just as popular as ever.
In this episode, we go over some of that history from the very beginning when the Soviet Army needed a compact weapon system for soldiers whose primary speciality needed something more compact than an AK74. Today it is revered as a status symbol by good guys and bad guys alike.

They had to edit him out after 17 minutes. Some say he is still talking about the Krink, after the camera batteries ran out of juice!
Hey, I don't mind. He's the most interesting guy on TFB right now. Waiting for him and Ian and/or Karl to have a joint chat. I'll take the Bloke too.
WAIT A MINUTE, the Bloke is on here!
Miles is a genuine warrior nerd. He looks and acts like a fluffy bunny but has the brown pants to prove he has been in danger close way too many times! I’ve been in some super nasty places/times a grand total of five times two of which were violent exchanges that resulted in serious injuries at bad breath distances. Still a bit twitchy so many years later.
😂😂😂
@@ABCantonese Miles and Bloke are the only reason I'm here.
Traian C ya he had to quit h3h3
This man is passionate, some say he’s still talking into the camera.
David DeVito To be fair, the world is bigger than America, and the world is a fascinating place. You should travel more. There's so much to see and so little time. I wouldn't want to live in any other country but the US, but I'd love to go explore more.
@@drtm1718 Damn straight man.
some say hes still trying to grow his facial hair.
David DiVito American soldiers love to visit almost every other country in the world, a tradition over 200 years old
@@ergosum5260 That's one tradition we should do away with! 😠
Why did the video end? He was still talking.
Where's Ian? Where is Gun Jesus?
Tell'em Ian. Tell James and gang that 30m videos get viewers.
This is one of his apostles
But most importantly where is AK Daddy?
But this dude is AK Stepdad.
Miles: What do you call this?
Afghan: Shrinkov.
Miles: Why tho?
Afghan: You shrink kalashnikov. Duh.
LOL 😄
Yea I don't then an Afgan would know the English word portmanteau.
so they got the name from CIA agents?
this is the best comment ive seen so far
Lmao good one.
What about a Miles special? Who is he? Where has he been, what has he done, and what is he going to do?
his M27 video talks a bit about him and his unit and was quite interesting, i can only recommend it
I think it is a brilliant idea.
Id enjoy that but i dont know if the other guys at TFB would like it
There is an episode on him on InRange TV or Forgotten Weapons where they talk about their researchers.
He's always a Marine
Me: mom can I have krinkov
Mom: we have PDW at home
PDW at home: 1:50
I read this exactly as it popped up and laughed way too hard
I do enjoy laughing from this one, altought I don't think it can fit the definition of PDW. When I think of PDW, I think of the P90, MP7, SR-2 Veresk ... you know, the AKS-74U is a carbine.
I actually laughed
Limpet Arch Classification varies from culture to culture. The Soviets viewed even fullsize AKs as "submachine guns". In their doctrine, these guns ARE for PDW engagement distances. I agree with the western classification, but hey, Russians are a weird and interesting people.
I like your style friend. Lol
I love how the music just slowly comes in and overpowers him. Because he just can’t stop...👍👍👍😝
That ending
@Michael Cheritto I laughed because I thought of the Dave Chappelle skit... 😅🤣😅🤣😅
I'm an Afghan and yes we call it Krinkov or Shishakov. I don't know where the name Krinkov came from but for Shishakov I can guess why it's called Shishakov. AKS-74U magazines are made of These rust-colored magazines are often mistakenly identified as being made of Bakelite (a phenolic resin), but were actually fabricated from two-parts of AG-4S molding compound (a glass-reinforced phenol-formaldehyde binder impregnated composite), assembled using an epoxy resin adhesive. In your language Shisha means glass so my guess is that's where the name came from. Besides these guns we also renamed other Russian made weapons like RPK light machine gun is "Pika" or Sakil (means heavy in Dari and Pashto language) , ZU-23-2 anti aircraft gun was called "Zikoyak (Ziko1) , DSHK heavy machine gun is called "Daashaka" or simply Shaka, BM-21 Grad 122mm multiple rocket launcher is called Chil Chila (which means the 40 ) .We from southern Afghanistan even use term machine instead of Kalashnikov for an Ak-47 and AKM is called Chushka Wala Kalashnikov.
Exactly...well explained..der ala
Meerullah wrora shishakop 7.62 di , 1959 na tr 1970 poray shishakop di , 71 na 77 poray kalashnkop di, shishakop da krinkov o kalakop sara is talok na lari
Uhhh, I was still listening...
Miles' Krinkov 2: soviet boogaloo
I ran into him yesterday at a Starbucks. He's still talking about the Krink. ☕
🤣🤣🤣
Hey, TFB! I'm your Russian viewer. I want to clarify the information about AKS-74U's nicknames in the Soviet/Russian army and in general. First, what you tried to pronounce was "suka" and "suchka", which means bitch and little bitch respectfully. This is indeed one of the nicknames, but to my knowledge, not the most widely spread one. It is frequently referred to as "Ksyuha" (Ксюха), which is the short tender version of the Russian female name Ksenia. This name was chosen, as "KSYUha" sounds similar to "AKSU". It is also commonly known as "ublyudok" (bastard) and "korotish" (shorty). This list is a lot larger, but these are most common names. As you can see, these nicknames have varying connotations. It primarily depends on the branch of the military/law enforcement in which it is used. If it is good for the job it gets tender nickname, if not, the result is the opposite.
PS Nobody calls it Krinkov in Russia. I first heard these on American gun channels.
These are the names we Afghans gave to these rifles. We call AKS-74U Krinkov or Shishakov. I don't know why exactly we call it Krinkov but for Shishakov I can guess it . Shisha means glass in Dari language and because AKS-74U magazines were made of These rust-colored magazines are often mistakenly identified as being made of Bakelite (a phenolic resin), but were actually fabricated from two-parts of AG-4S molding compound (a glass-reinforced phenol-formaldehyde binder impregnated composite), assembled using an epoxy resin adhesive so my guess is that name Shishakov came from that.
Davai! Haha
Ohh so this krink madness is really just about Ak-74 essentially?
I love every video that Miles makes; some of my favorite TFBtv content. I know that his videos are very time-consuming produce, but it would be great to see videos like this 3 or 4 times a month.
Agreed. He's very passionate and knowledgeable. He doesn't sugar-coat things and he has a great cadence.
Just knew this was gonna be a Miles video before i even clicked it
Miles: (talks non-stop)
Cameraman: A'ight, Imma head out...
😛
This is interesting. Please make more episodes like this.
@Craig X nah, you're the insufferable prick in this scenario.
@Craig X What difference does it make? 🙄 Besides, he probably knows the pronunciation better than you do because his family is actually from there...
I agree. I'd like more footage of the gun in action, but otherwise this is really interesting, and I like listening to smart people talk about guns.
@@myblacklab7 +1. All in for fact checked verified information.
When I see him holding this rifle the 1st thing that comes to mind is Colonel Gurlucavich and his men landing on the tanker right before the Big Shell incident.
algierssolja And then the hassle of Raiden having to find a Krink at Big Shell, otherwise no way in hell you’ll sneak your way into Big Shell core
Bro I’m playing that right now lol
@@benhardsatrio8222 I always used the M9sd. Put em all to sleep. The only rifle I recall using was an M4. I may have to play the remaster of the remaster again.
Hey who turned the music on... I was still watching that.
Drunk gun history with Miles
Hey, he knows his audience.
This was a good video I wouldnt have minded it being longer yall should do more like this
One of the best TFB TV videos i've seen in a long time
good info
Mrgunsngear Channel Indeed
I served in the Soviet army, 87-89 in Afghanistan, Ghazni province . In the mountains, the Bitch was ineffective and was used mainly as a last chance pilot of the Mi-8, Mi-24 and su-25 . In the mountains and gorges , AKSU-74 could be used as a "psychological" weapon .When removed from the muzzle device, there was a roar in the gorge, which could be mistaken for the sound of a large-caliber machine gun NSV-12.7
Too bad many people will ignore your input here because they are too much of a fanboy to this weapon.
Kudos for actually going home after your tour to Afghanistan.
@@user-dg2jz1gi5sthank you! 🤝
How was Soviet army service at that time? Where there still summary executions? If so was it common or rare? was ammo available and was equipment ok or barely hanging on to life?
I understand if you do not want to answer my questions I mean no disrespect I’m simply curious
I love this guy, I could listen to him for an hour and I wouldn't get tired
You just did.
You're more of a journalist than just a RUclipsr. The way you track down information like this goes above and beyond.
Type 56: Chinkov
Lmao
Nice
Underrated
It's a real gun btw. The Type 56C.
Lmao
You have such energy while talking about this subject. I could have continued to listen to you for far longer.
That was a really good run down and history lesson. Very well researched. Sounds like you have the beginnings of a book.
This is one of the best episodes I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing.
This was edited down from approximately 68hrs of footage. 68 hours of non stop Miles Krink talk.
Then there is lesser known, angrier brother of this gun. Krankov.
I'm only liking this because I hate it so much. Very punny.
I dig the history lesson. Cool to see how a lot of older military style weapons came about. I am with you man keep talking even after the batteries died. Keep making more of these episodes.
Enjoyed the information in this vid. Knowledge is power! Great video!
absolutely fascinating. I didn't think i'd be interested at all but after the first minute he hooked me in. Great video, and great info my man
My boy Miles stepping up his game!
Love the enthusiasm in the video
Passionate and informative video.
Well done my man and TFBtv.
Really enjoyed this video, would love to see more like it on the TFB channel!
This level of nerdery and obsession I applaud and support.
I think the video was cut on the moment when Miles was starting to talk on AKS-74Us in Syria - it's the same deal, government forces like them because they were only given to the Republican Guard units at first & were really scarce back in the day, and islamists prise them both as trophies and a symbol of mujahideen legacy. Now even Russian Military Police officers there are starting to carry AKS-74U's to represent their rank - after all, they're performing peacekeeping duties most of the time.
9:56 It's either Ks'uha/Ks'ukha (Ксюха) - a deminutive of Ksenia/Xenia (Ксения), a once-popular female name, or Suchka - little bitch.
17:00 It's no surprise, Houthi Minister of Defence was using an AKS-74U while test-driving captured Saudi MRAP vehicles last autumn.
Ksenia is still a popular female name, a number of my classmates were called that, and I'm not that old :D
Most informative and well researched presentation. Enjoyed it very much. Funny recall that issue of SOF from back in 84.
Excellent video I really enjoy the content that Miles puts out.
Great video bro, deep how they edited u out at the end, was loving that nerd out !
Yes! More episodes like this on history of a firearm. Awesome video!
Great video, I love the amount of information you give us about these types of guns.
Always with the most interesting stuff. I love watching these videos.
That drop leg holster is hilarious.
But as always, excellent video.
Excuse me while I whip this out
Soldier of fortune, best magazine ever. The 80,s issues are amazing. I had that particular issue, covering the conflict in Ulster, El Salvador, contras, Afghanistan etc.
Enjoyed the video! Tons of cool info.
This is the most educational video I have yet to see on this channel, definitely wasn't expecting it. I was thinking I would get a minute or two about the weapon including wrong info "The CIA named it off of a Soviet captive named Krinkov", then shooting, and trying to run it like a M4 & hearing how the M4 is vastly superior. Well done.
Very informative video. Dude you kept me watching the video till end.
You just earned a subscriber.
Love this guy so informative.
I have to agree, it's interesting to hear the history behind the weapons. Please keep doing that! And you miles make it very interesting! I really enjoy your bookcase! That always says to me I'm well read, and understand what I'm talking about. LOL
Outstanding video. Thanks for researching this so thoroughly.
Extremely well done video! Man you are the Suchka guy!! Definitely got that passion 👍👍
Thanks for the info Shia LaBeouf!
Yes thank you love krinks or shrinks
Haha. That was good.
Dude, Miles, I love your dedication to history and finding the truth of things. Truly a scholar!
I really appreciate the work you do
This video should have been a lot longer or 2 parts. I’m pretty sure Miles could have kept us entertained thru the whole pandemic
Wealth of info. Loved it. Do a part 2 please
Really enjoyed the video, fascinating stuff
Nice! Thanks, Miles. Awaiting more...
Great video, kind of wish they'd do a part 2.
*Tank gets disabled by an RPG *
Gunner: "Ay, let me get my lil' bitch real quick"
Ur enthusiasm made the video very entertaining too watch👍🏻 didn’t even want a krink but now I do haha😁
lol love this! esp the music at the end playing him out, like an award show speech gone on for too long. but j/k aside great info!
1) In first place AKS-74U was developed for paratroopers, but during the first tests, they understand, that it's effective fire distance is too short, and standard AKS-74 (with collapsed stock) isn't real too long.
2) Xsusha - is "casual" variation of name Xenia. Like Jo and Jonathan. And yes it's popular nickname for AKS-74U, because letters K, S and U sounds dominant in Russian language.
3) Bitch is "suka" in Russian language. And yes it's popular nickname for AKS-74U for the same reason.
Excellent video. Love when miles vinning is featured and love seeing him do a video on the krink
Holy crap, how did i miss this video? Dude, more of this guy please, that was 17 minutes LOADED with info . . .
Super interesting video. Like this guy!
Excellent video. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for this video, I for one found it very interesting.
Not gonna lie. I'm quite impressed that Miles goes to the countries he does and knows the stuff he knows.
I'm also impressed with that bookshelf behind him. Would like to spend a few days in that room with a comfy chair.
I like how they played him off the stage at the end.
I think this might be the smartest gun expert I've ever seen.
I had to look up how to pronounce "Hind," and he pronounces it correctly.
I'd love to see a lot of footage of the gun in action, but the narration is amazing.
Very informative, always loved krinks, just raw and chopped...
@3:17 I liked the way you pronounced Afغanistan! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Awesome video . really enjoyed it .
I loved this video. Very entertaining and interesting.
So insightful!
Thank you for the excellent video!
Good information, thanks!
Is he kneeling? Or does he have legs?
He's Squatting the entire video
Slav squat, he’s talking about Russian guns so it’s definitely required.
Praying to the great Krink in the sky
His legs are AKR's.
Home Depot bucket
Excellent video Miles! I really enjoyed this one. I regret selling my Krink SBR so bad.
Awesome presentation!
Awesome info and very interesting!
Miles' stuff is insanely interesting. Please more
excellent video , well done man
Never knew about the brief case, cool!
Great video helps when someone is super passionate about the topic.
I pick one of these ( Krinkov ) for $10 grand in Afghanistan.
Btw. Everything you said about Krinkov i 100% agree with you . Great video
Great history, info vid!
thanks for making this video
Brilliant job mate .. You really explained what exactly does it mean in the rifle field....
Thanks for the video. You're my favorite TFB dude, and your videos are always SUPER interesting to watch, being an authentic AK-nerd myself. Just FYI, among Russian soldiers these guns are also sometimes called "Ksuha" in reference to the Russian name "Ksenia" which bears likeness to the military designation of the rifle ("AKSU"), ontop of "little bitch", lol.
Very interesting video, had no idea the 74u had such a rich history behind it's multiple names.
I really enjoyed this video!
Awesome to get some history, I love his passion on the AK
I did not know about any of this. All I knew is that I appreciate a 545 SBR. Been a fan of the AKS-74U for years, but I rarely delve into this sort of thing.
Thanks for bustin a hot steamy load of knowledge all over my face
You may want a new translator bc what ever terrorist language your coming from something is just getting lost in translation
Awesome vid, keep it up!
