A statue to Mikhail Kalashnikov...

[Elmas]

but unfortunately on the pedestal of the statue, to explain the origins of the rifle, there is the figure of a Sturmgewehr 44. I don't think Putin will be very pleased...

Kalashnikov statue altered after sculptor's monumental error

Even a sculptor can now blame the internet?

Oops

 

[The Basket]

Maybe the sculptor believed the Sturmgewehr and AK shared a similar lineage....psyche!!!!!!

Lack of research will do that.

PS hope the pics come out.
link I use is: Kalashnikov takes a shot at building a hoverbike

From the site mentione just above:

"Here at New Atlas we love a good hoverbike. So when Kalashnikov, the Russian weapons manufacturer best known for its infamous AK-47 assault rifle, released a video demonstrating a strange hoverbike prototype it certainly piqued our interest."

Infamous? Why infamous?
A stick, a stone, bow and arrows that killed millions of people for thousands of years are infamous?
