A Russian AR?

The Firearms Blog reports that Molot, a subsidiary of Izhmash (the primary firearms for the Russian military) is producing an AR. There is no information as to caliber, whether these are being built for export, price, etc., but there are a couple photos of the weapon. Since the Russian Army has announced that it will not be ordering any new rifles for at least two (2) years, this may be an attempt to increase foreign sales. I'm predicting that with their own version manufactured in-country, that the Russian military will slowly start to adopt the AR.
