Rusia por su parte, fiel a su tradici\u00f3n de continuar con los sistemas de armas que han tenido un desempe\u00f1o destacado en combate, apuesta a la modernizaci\u00f3n y mejora permanente de los fusiles de asalto de la familia AK, el m\u00e1s renombrado y conocido de los cuales es el AK 47.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>According to Russian news agency\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/tass.ru\/armiya-i-opk\/4351948\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TASS<\/a>, the Kalashnikov Concern officials have informed them that the AK-12 has successfully passed all the government tests and trials and it is planned to be adopted by the Russian armed forces. The key phrase is \u201cplanned to\u201d, which means it is not quite official yet. The Kalashnikov Concern also released a video showing some design details of their newest\u00a0<a class=\"vglnk\" title=\"Link added by VigLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brownells.com\/search\/index.htm?k=firearms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">firearms<\/a>\u00a0like the AK-12, AK-15, RPK-16 etc.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"zaGYtntu_tA\" class=\"youtube-player\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zaGYtntu_tA?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;fs=1&amp;autohide=2&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;wmode=transparent\" width=\"660\" height=\"402\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As you\u00a0<a class=\"vglnk\" title=\"Link added by VigLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brownells.com\/search\/index.htm?k=can\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">can<\/a>\u00a0see in the video, this is not the original AK-12 which was initially introduced. The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefirearmblog.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/06\/breaking-kalashnikov-concern-discontinues-ak-12-replaces-new-ak-12\/\">gun<\/a>\u00a0that will possibly be adopted is rather a heavily modified AK-74. It is chambered in 5.45x39mm (as expected) and comes with a number of improvements. The new\u00a0<a class=\"vglnk\" title=\"Link added by VigLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brownells.com\/search\/index.htm?k=magazine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">magazine<\/a>\u00a0has \u201cwindows\u201d for visual reference of the remaining amount of\u00a0ammunition. The\u00a0magazine\u00a0is also said to be modified to be used as a\u00a0<a class=\"vglnk\" title=\"Link added by VigLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brownells.com\/search\/index.htm?k=monopod\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">monopod<\/a>. I assume they mean the angled shape of the baseplate area of the\u00a0magazines, which should make the\u00a0gunmore stable when rested on the\u00a0magazine.<\/p>\n<p>The quick-detach\u00a0<a class=\"vglnk\" title=\"Link added by VigLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brownells.com\/search\/index.htm?k=muzzle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">muzzle<\/a>\u00a0brake also has a slightly different shape than that of the AK-74.
