Guns (and maybe other hardware) of the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine..

[BigMoose]

AK-103 captured in Ukraine from Chechen Special Forces. Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1994 took the AK-74 improvements and applied them to making export rifles in 5.56Nato and 7.62x39. Called the AK-100 series.

This is the first 7.62x39 rifle I have seen as a battlefield pickup.

They also picked up a GM-94 grenade launcher.

A few facts

Stingers are used by Air Defense Artillery guys its a separate MOS. So it not like a Joe Smoe grabs one and blasts a plane outta the air.
We used to see them dudes all the time then the Army decided we didn’t need them anymore. Now the Army is reforming them?

Javelin gunners are a Identified by 2C that means the dude has went to school to shoot it.

The Ukrainian Soldiers looked sloppy way too bunched up and not using formations. IME if we had ran into them in a meeting engagement they would be toast.

D30 Guns are not used for ADA they appear to be set up in a apartment complex. They are set for max range.

Way too bunched up, an MG-42 would have made short work of that squad back in the last war to roll through that place.

Ironic, Need to find the photo.. but someone spotted an MG-3 in use in Ukraine. Basically a 7.62NATO converted MG42

Well, it only took 63 years.. but the M14 finally got its chance to shoot Russians..

Likely gift from Clinton to Latvia,Estonia, and Lithuania.. now re-gifted to the Ukrainians.

Of course no one need an (as in one) AR or AK. Just one isn't enough. Everyone should own a SAFE full.

If the **** were to really hit the fan.. your gonna need a lot. Ukraine does seem to indicate that.

Im not going to hotlink this in here, as they are making a RUDE gesture.. but some civilian fighters somewhere in Ukraine. MAYBE...

I have my doubts about this one. Left is a Glock 17L (rare competition gun), A Skorpion 380, and an RPD?

What makes me think it might be legit is the RPD.. but there are a few Semi Auto RPDs in the US. Jury is out on this one.
