Description
Russia's largest firearms manufacturer, Izhmash unveiled in February 2012 a prototype of its new Kalashnikov AK-12 assault rifle with improved ergonomics and tactical flexibility. The new assault rifle, dubbed AK-12, is being designed as a basic platform for the development of nearly 20 different modifications of the weapon. The new AK-12 could be adapted for cartridges varying from 5.45x39 mm to 7.62x51 NATO. The 12th Kalashnikov, Izhmash officials said, has a number of features that make it different from the previous series of the rifle. Advanced technology and materials were used for the development of the new weapon, and more than ten new inventions will be used in making various models of the Kalashnikov rifle. The AK-12 may, therefore, become the basic model for future developments. The AK-12 assault rifle was presented for the first time to the public in June 2012 at the defense exhibition in Moscow, Engineer Technologies 2012. It started to enter service with Russian army units in 2020.
 
Variants
The basic feature of the new rifle is its modularity. It will serve as a basic platform for designing of over 20 modifications of small-arms weapons of various purposes and caliber.

Design
Kalashnikov AK-12 assault rifle is a gas-operated, selective fire weapon using traditional type action with long-stroke gas piston and rotary bolt locking as a standard Kalashnikov assault rifle. Firing selector levers are located above the pistol grip, at both sides of the rifle. The AK-12 features three firing modes: single shot, three-shot burst and automatic fire. The muzzle of the AK-12 has been designed to shoot foreign-standard barrel-mounted grenades. The AK-12 is fitted with a new hinged top cover. The cover is a lot more rigid than the previous AK rifles. The weapon can be used by both left-handed and right-handed people and can be easily handled with one hand. The weight of the new AK-12 assault rifle is around 3.3 kg.
Ammunition
The AK-12 will be chambered in the traditional 7.62x39mm and 5.45x39mm calibers and available in NATO’s 5.56x45mm as well. It has been reported that all AK-47/AKM magazines will work with the AK-12.
Accessories
The AK-12 assault rifle is also fitted with Picatinny rails at the top of the weapon and additional accessory rails at both sides to mount optical, and night sights, grenade launchers, target indicators and other special equipment. The AK-12 has a folding stock and a height-adjustable heelpiece.
