Introduced in 1974 alongside the then-new [[Kalashnikov AK-74|AK-74]] assault rifle, which succeeded to the famous [[Kalashnikov AK-47|AK-47]] in the Soviet military, it likewise replaced the '''AK-47''''s caliber, [[7.62x39mm]], as their service cartridge.

In the Soviet/Russian military, the first cartridges developed in this caliber were referred to as '''5N7''', and were developed with a complex bullet design. The caliber followed the trend of switching to intermediate-powered cartridges, to allow the soldier to carry more ammunition for the same weight and have more effectiveness in the typical ranges in which a soldier engages its targets.

The original '''5N7''' variant 5.45x39mm cartridges were developed with '''Full-Metal Jacketed''' bullets with a mild steel core coated in lead, and use the popular boat-tail design, reducing drag. This somewhat complex system was the basis of the new 5.45mm caliber developed for the '''AK-74''' and its derivatives.<br />

Other variants were later developed for other uses, such as the hardened steel core '''7N6''' bullet, delivering more power, or the '''7N10''' &quot;enhanced penetration&quot; bullet, for armor-piercing purposes.

It has been introduced as the new service caliber of the former Soviet military, as the '''AK-74''' was meant - and did replace the AK-47 as the country's service weapon. It is still used nowadays in modern Russia's military with their current service rifle, the '''AK-74M''', a modernized variant of the AK-74.
