The PAIKE (Preocupación por las Armas Industriales de los Kibutzim Encienda) Delamo is a multi-platform family of Abraharan designed and manufactured assault rifles chambered in 5.45x39mm caliber. Designed in 1964 by Amado Delamo, PAIKE began large-scale production and distribution beginning in 1966. The Delamo was developed with assistance from the Soviet Order and its design shares many similarities and components with the AVS 26 assault rifle on which it is largely based. The Delamo is produced in several mission-oriented variants and has gone through two modernization programs throughout the course of its existence. The Delamo serves as the primary service rifle of Abrahar and is used extensively by the militaries of Rosseló, Alainia, and Maratha respectively.
