The Kalashnikov manufacturer revealed the characteristics of the updated AK-12 assault rifle

On its official YouTube channel The Kalashnikov Concern has shown the updated AK-12 assault rifle. 

The AK-12 was presented to the general public at the Army-2020 International Military-Technical Forum. 

The weapon is more user-friendly. It is now easier to install a silencer, and bars for additional equipment such as optical sights, a flashlight and a laser designator have been added. 

AK-12 demonstrates improved tactical and technical characteristics, such as an increased grouping and accuracy of fire. It became possible to fire "cutoffs" (bursts of two shots).
