A video of a magazine from the latest Russian AK-12 assault rifle has appeared online. The magazine withstood the impact of two large metal fragments and saved the life of a soldier.
The footage shows that the magazine was almost torn in half. Nothing is known about the condition of the soldier.
The modernized AK-12 assault rifle, based on combat experience, was presented in May 2023 and has already begun to be supplied to the troops. It has a modified diopter sight and an improved forend, the fire control system has become two-sided, and the muzzle device is non-removable.
