Earlier on the channel's website “star” We have compared these 2 machine. Today we will talk separately about each of them and answer the question, why Kalashnikovs opted for combined arms units, and AEK – 971 – for special forces.

Given combat experience, Development of the AK-12 was launched in June 2011 year and conducted on its own initiative under the leadership of chief designer Izhmash Vladimir Zlobin, Grasp the basis of achievements of previous years. A year later the first prototype machine called the AK-12 was presented to the Interdepartmental Working Group at the Military-Industrial Commission. true, arms then received certain observations from the experts.

Priority demands high accuracy of fire were called, compliance with various conditions of combat use, the possibility of using modern sighting devices. The designers have taken into account these and other suggestions, honing combat capabilities of their offspring. The impetus for gunsmiths and became a demonstration of their developments in the framework of international military-technical forums Army .

AT 2016 year on a similar exhibition presented Kalashnikov Concern is also an AK-15 chambered 7,62 39 mm. As for the automatic 12-th model, he received considerable differences in appearance and design of critical components. As noted by gunsmiths, they took into account the shortcomings identified, and also took measures to improve product manufacturability.

AT 2016 , the latest versions of the AK-12 and AK-15 were designed to combat tests in the Armed Forces. And at the end of last year, the head of the Kalashnikov Concern Aleksey Krivoruchko said the successful completion of this phase of testing machines. According to him, manufacturers have considered all comments and suggestions to the test model, adjusting the design on the basis of practical application. At the same time the head of the group of weapons has declared readiness of the enterprise to launch a series of new weapons. superiority factor is based on two articles lay down the concept is well proven in actual combat conditions AK-74. New machines for the production of preserved traditional Kalashnikov vapor automation scheme with blanking channel turning the bolt stem. At the same time, it has evolved architecture vent mount and forend on the barrel: he became freely posted, i.e, almost no contact with other parts of weapons, which immediately improved the accuracy of fire. Among the features of the new models include a folding butt from impact-resistant plastic, adjustable podschechnik, rigidly fixed receiver box with a Picatinny rail, which provides a convenient and repeatable installation of daytime and night sights type.

New machines can not only shoot single shots and continuous queue, but in short bursts, cutting off of 2 chuck. Also installed on the barrel muzzle brake-compensator, and in addition, possible to install a bayonet-knife, releasable muffler and 40mm grenade launcher SE-25 or SE-34.

The main criterion for selection of the AK-12 and AK-15 combined arms units was the simplicity and reliability of this weapon. The corresponding opinion was voiced in the course of the Scientific Council on the development of combat equipment, held in Moscow, “Innovations for infantry”.

At present, an agreement with the Kalashnikov Concern about the trial operation of advanced models of machines also concluded and the Federal troops of the National Guard.

First Deputy Director Rosgvardii Colonel-General Sergey Malikov said, that the AK-12 machines tested in agency offices, among other samples, and at the forum Army 2017 Rosgvardiya, FSB and FSO have expressed interest and other novelties of Izhevsk gunsmiths – machine AM-17 and its noiseless embodiment AMB-17.

Chief editor of Magnum Yaroslav Koval notes, that new variants of the AK-12 and AK-15 have significant differences from the old version of the AK-12, presented in 2015 year – as the basic design of assemblies and mechanisms, and appearance. arrangement, nodes and data samples mechanisms design, for the most part are based on the prototype AK-400, while there are a number of developments of the old version of the AK-12, – the expert emphasizes.

meanwhile, some interesting details on the matter told the well-informed website perebezhchik.ru.

In February 2015 the Defense Ministry chose the AK-12 to the new infantry equipment “warrior”.

The choice in favor of AK-12 influenced by the low price and less machine weight, compared to competitor Kovrov – A machine-545 “Abakan”, having more favorable characteristics when firing bursts.

Presentation of the main caliber in 2012 year version of the AK-12 was to remain 5.45 mm. However, in September 2016 the concern “Kalashnikov” on the forum “Army 2016”, makes updated AK-12 5.45 mm caliber AK-15 and 7.62 mm. Last, in its turn, It was developed to replace the previous generation 7.62 mm AKM and AKMS.

Interesting, that small arms experts are in no hurry to call the AK-12 and AK-15 “Kalashnikovs”. After all, on the fact, New machines are products, custom “classical base”, but borrowing technical solutions Zaitsev, Garanda (M1 Garand), Bulkina (AB-46), Sudaeva (AS-44), Holeka (ZH-29), John Browning (Remington Model 8) and other domestic and foreign designers.

In June 2017 the agency TASS referring to the press service “Kalashnikov” reported, that the AK-12 went through all the stages of development of the military operation, and waits for acceptance into service of the Armed Forces “as the major long-barreled firearms”.
