With the release of the LCT Airsoft PP-19-01 AEG, or the Vityaz AEG, we now have a fully production model of the Vityaz for airsoft as compared to custom projects made by airsoft players before. But how different it is from the LCKS74UN (or AKS74U) apart from using 9mm magazines? LCT Airsoft made a video to show that:

If you have been waiting for the LCT Airsoft PP-19-01 Vityaz AEG, better ask your nearest retailer if they already have this in stock. LCT Airsoft announced its availability today so it may be already on the shelves or on its way to airsoft retailers worldwide. No mention of retail price yet in the update sent to us.

The waiting is almost over for those looking for a AK-type airsoft rifle that uses 9mm magazines. LCT Airsoft have just announced that they will start taking pre-orders for the LCT Airsoft PP-19-01 Vityaz AEG which has been one in the wishlist of many airsoft players, on the 25th of September 2015. No pricing or release date announced, but it is something that you can definitely have before Christmas.

We get to see more photos of the prototype version of the LCT Airsoft PP-19-01 Vityaz SMG. This is an AEG though we've been hearing other modders waiting to have their hands on it and see if they can have modified to take in an AK gas blowback system (most probably with the GHK). Release date of this has not been revealed yet.

Thanks to the sharp eyes of Russian airsoft players last March 2015, we have learned about plans by LCT Airsoft to manufacture the PP-19-01 Vityaz SMG. Now, LCT Airsoft are officially confirming the sighting with their announcement of the LCT Airsoft PP-19-01 Vityaz AEG. No details yet on its planned release and features of the AEG.

With the release of LCT Airsoft's SR-3M AEG, they also posted photos about its older brother SR-3 before they posted news that their site will be undergoing maintenance. It's a not really a surprise that they will also be releasing their SR-3 Vikhr AEG too which is different from the SR-3M as you cannot install a suppressor, a different type of stock, and no collapsible foregrip.

With the news report from Red Army Airsoft Club about a Vityaz AEG purportedly being developed by LCT Airsoft and also reported here, they got accused of incompetence of not getting their facts right. They posted a clarification that the whole thing was lost in translation, and their explanation is posted in a detailed manner.

Russian Airsoft news sites are talking about an upcoming LCT Airsoft PP-19-01 Vityaz. According to the Red Army Airsoft Club, Airsoft4U spotted a photo about parts of an 9mm "AK" airsoft rifle to be produced by Lee Cheng Technology (LCT) as shown in the photo here. LCT is, in a way, known for producing Russian and former Eastern Bloc airsoft guns, and thus, creating a Vityaz airsoft gun, is welcome news.

Airsoft blog Steklovata have pointed to two clips produced by Izhmash Research and Production Association that feature the AKM-100 and the Vityaz-SN SMG that are well produced and rather impressive to watch and of course it's not the typical Russian loadout this time. So far a Vityaz airsoft version that we know of is the DIY project made by Renegade Cow.
