Russian-French military-technical cooperation in the second half of the XIX century. Example of Chatellerault factory.
Abstract
The article discusses key characteristics of the interaction between the Russian Ministry of War and the French arsenal Chatellerault in the second half of the 19th century. Emphasis is placed on issues of military acceptance of the first production samples of the Mosin 3- line rifle (model 1891), built in the French factory Chatellerault in 1894-1895 commissioned by the Russian government. The article considers the essential characteristics of foreign production, as well as specific details of the military acceptance of the first production samples of this rifle. The authors examined historical background, objectives and events that preceded such a successful cooperation between Russia and France. It is interesting that this was the first time that Russian military receivers had to carry out their activities abroad.
