В продолжении темы про военные байдарки
During the Cold War Britain and Australia both attempted to keep their lead in military kayak design. But bureaucracy and budgeting resulted in a series of expensive and unpopular designs, and the eventual universal adoption of the cheaper German made Klepper kayak (incidentally, the firm credited with inventing western folding kayaks in the early 1900s – ‘folbot’ / ‘folboat’ are corruptions of the German ”Faltboot” meaning folding boat). For many years the “Klepper Mk.13” was the international standard (Mk.13 is a British frame of reference but widely used. It followed the Mk.12 in British service). Competing designs were described as ‘equivalent’
In the US, a company called Long Haul Folding Kayaks used to repair various Klepper kayaks. They have improved it, and their current military product is the Commando Mk-II, which has been used by USASOC for about 15 years in place of the Klepper.
