Didn't Russia officially replace it with the AK-12 & AK-15? Or at least phasing it out in favour of.

Yep but aren't those also chambered for the same rounds more or less? Either way kalashnikov stays winning

That’s probably not going to happen until after the war is over. It usually takes a while for a big change like that. Getting AK12s to units has been a problem for the Russians and those who did receive them told the MOD that there were problems with them that they have recently fixed from what I understand. Many units still prefer the AK-74 because they still have plenty of suppressors and other attachments for those where as suppressors for the AK-12 are not as readily available yet.
