AK-12 has been in service for 4 years and is part of the Ratnik equipment kit. Today, the 5.45 mm AK-12 Kalashnikov is the standard service assault rifle of infantry and other units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

• How did the feedback from the troops affect the design of the rifle?
• Why are the windows located in the magazine front part, and not in its back?
• Is it possible to introduce an ambidextrous selector/safety switch on AK-12?
