The AK-12 (Russian: Avtomat Kalashnikova, 2012 – GRAU index 6P70) is a Russian gas-operated assault rifle chambered in 5.45×39mm cartridge, designed and manufactured by Kalashnikov Concern (formerly Izhmash), making it the fifth generation of Kalashnikov rifles.
At the request of the Russian military during the Ratnik trials, a variant chambered in 7.62×39mm was developed alongside the AK-12, designated as the AK-15 (GRAU index 6P71). Compact variants of the AK-12 and AK-15 that feature shorter barrel lengths were also developed, respectively the AK-12K, AK-12SK, AK-15K and AK-15SK. To meet the interest of international clients, Kalashnikov Concern later developed a variant chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO, designated as the AK-19. A battle rifle variant chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO was later unveiled to further pique their interest, designated as the AK-308. A light machine gun based on the AK-12 was also designed in response to the "Tokar-2" program, designated as the RPK-16.
