Russian AsH -12 st130

So looking on the internet I came across the ash-12. Which is supposed to replace the ak. Is this thing legitimate or just Russian propaganda?

I mean a 12.7x55 rifle round. Isn't most modern combat close quarters?
Why a large caliber rifle round? And what about ammunition weight? Why weigh a soldier down?

Also no one really seems to be talking much about the ash. It's pretty cool. But I'm not sure you can replace the AK. It's got a serious track record.

Thoughts?
