Na prostranstvima interneta, več duže se govori, da je zavod Ižmaš (ИЖМАШ) priprema novu verziju legendarne AK47, verziju AK-200.
The spokesman for Izhmash said:
“The AK-200 is designed to contribute to a full-blown modernization of the Russian Armed Forces. Significantly, the new model is based on the AK-74, internationally known for its reliability and ease of use , the AK-200’s sophisticated design is fully in tune with new demands for waging modern warfare. The new Kalashnikov differs in weight and the magazine capacity, citing a 60-cartridge magazine the AK-200 is equipped with. It is safe to assume that the new Kalashnikov‘s characteristics are on a par with those of assault rifles currently used by NATO troops.”
Po mom mišlenju, a i koliko slike pokazuju, poboljšanja su više estetska i u smislu pomlađivanja serije AK-100, sa dodavanjem više Picante/Weaver šina. Više evolucija nego revolucija, ali prosudite sami.
Slike pokazuju prototip.
Kako su rusi "rešili" problem sa klimajučim poklopcem sanduka, na kojemu je stavljena Picante/Weaver šina.

Kalibar ostaje "večni" 7,62*39 (mada če biti i u ostalim klasičnim kalibrima 5,45*39 i 5,56*45). Zanimljiva je kočnica tipa "SKS" koja blokira obarač. Nisu se ni odrekli klasičnoj AK bočnoj montaži šine za optiku.

Na gasnom cilindru i donjoj oblogi dodane još 4 Picante/Weaver šine.

Preklapajuči kundak, sa šipkom za čiščenje, koja je nekada bila ispod cevi u donjoj oblogi.
