The Truth About Russia’s AK-12 - is it over hyped?


A video on the AK 12 made just prior to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The AK 12 is the newest, 5.45, version of the AK-47 and it's commonly seen in Russian hands.  It's also now not infrequently seen in Ukrainian hands, although most Ukrainians are armed with AKMs or AK-74s.  Frankly, in spite of early efforts to really overhaul it, it's basically an AK-74 with Picitinny rails which allows it to accept optics more easily.

According to this, the intended Russian optics are bad, which would be typical for Russian optics.
