A video of a magazine from the latest Russian AK-12 assault rifle has appeared online. The magazine withstood two large metal splinter hits and saved a soldier's life.
The footage shows that the magazine was almost torn in half. Nothing is known about the soldier's condition.
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 an improved diopter sight and an improved forend, the fire control system has become two-sided, and the muzzle device is non-removable.
