The AK-12 is the latest entry in the legendary Kalashnikov series of rifles. It was developed to replace the AK-74M and the AK-100-series of rifles that was field tested in 2011. While praised by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, the Russian Defense Ministry chose not to adopt the AK-12 due to millions of AK-74 rifles still in stockpile. However this changed in 2015, and as of 2017 the AK-12 is being trialed for introduction into the Russian military, competing against the A-545 with the intent of eventually phasing out the AK-74M.
At first, the AK-12 didn't have a designation for the different calibers (unlike the previous AKs, particularly the 100-series), but in 2016 the version chambered in 7.62x39mm finally received its own designation as AK-15, while the standard AK-12 maintains the use of the 5.45x39mm cartridge. In the prototype stages (until Jan 2012), the AK-12 was known as AK-200 and it looked more like an AK-74M/101/103 fitted with rails.
