Effectiveness of flash suppressor edit

It's not entirely clear to me from the scant sources, but looking at the pictures of the gun too, the flash suppressor it had was probably very ineffective. Unfortunately, I haven't found a good presentation of what made the AKS-74U flash suppressor better; the Russian sources speak of it as "Усиленный", meaning enhanced. A Russian company sells a commercial derivative of the AKS-74U flash suppressor in the US too, [1] so there's probably some non-trivial technology in it.
