The Kalash is no longer the same — Russian occupiers have received a rusty novelty, the AK-12.

The story of the rusty Kalashnikovs received from warehouses by Russian occupiers has somewhat faded from memory, but it has now received a continuation. It turns out that Russian army soldiers have begun to be sold a sort of novelty — the AK-12, which rusts within just a few days.

What's wrong with the new 'Kalash' AK-12

Journalists are closely monitoring feedback on the new rifle from so-called Z-bloggers and have gathered negative reviews. All comments note that the AK-12 is absolutely unsuitable for field conditions.

For example, one of the 'Z-bloggers' under the pseudonym Alex Parker noted that the rifle is prone to corrosion, easily 'clogs with chips' after shifts, and often misfires.

This problem was also pointed out by militants of the neo-Nazi group 'DShRG Rusich'. Their Telegram channel posted photographs of the AK-12, taken, as they claim, after three days of operating the rifle in a humid environment.

'Without direct exposure to precipitation. Just look at the quality of the metal. Six months in use, regular maintenance,' the message states.

It was previously reported that Russian officers continue to kill their servicemen. Another reason for the 'nullification' of an occupier was that he improperly commanded a unit regarding movement to the position.

Additionally, we previously reported an incident where cadets from an air assault school in Russia killed their sergeant by tying his parachute straps.

After the introduction of the new AK-12 rifle to the Russian army soldiers, problems with corrosion and misfires during operation became known. Negative reviews about the new weapon have spread among military personnel and public activists, which could create problems for Russian military production.
