Weapons in Ukraine conflict

[z7.jled]

I know they have been fighting for a long time but I recently started paying close attention and have browsed them web for stories, images, videos of the “front” to understand the conditions.

I was very surprised to see many brands that we discuss on the hide being employed in eastern Ukraine.

A Russian “fsb” sniper team with a suppressed ai axmc 338 with a nightforce scope

A female Ukrainian sniper with a cadex rifle topped off with a gen ii razor

Daniel defense, bcm and various AR’s

A Ukrainian sniper competition where I saw athlon, khales, vortex and nightforce scopes represented

I probably should not be surprised, but I am surprised to see our hobby gear getting put to real work in Ukraine. I was very surprised that the “fsb” team was using an ai, they also had a kestrel

If you haven’t looked, explore the web and see what is going on, looks like life is gonna suck a whole lot more in Ukraine very soon

If you haven't stocked-up w/ammo...DO IT NOW! Shit was starting to get re-stocked, albeit, still more than I wanted to pay. So, with plane loads of our ammo leaving the country, shit's gonna get scarce again.
Just saying. Luckily, I'm still GtG. Mac

 

[OldSalty2]

Good use of tax dollars.

 

[BAMCIS]

Sleepy Joe needs to protect his son's interest.
Oh forgot sleepy Joe knew nothing about slezy jrs Ukraine dealings.

 

[Alpine 338]

So, what ammo types are we supplying?

7.62x39, 5.45x39, 50BMG ??? The containers that I saw where all green sanitized, and didn't have the usual markings that the US or NATO uses.

This thread needs pictures....

 

[z7.jled]

Russians with ai watch the video for more info, remote cameras for observation from trenches, counter drone “gun” (some electronic warfare backpack unit)


Ukrainian with cadex images included

War and preparing for war is something everybody loves to pile in on for the money.
I wonder if the French are supplying both sides or if nobody wants any French stuff anymore?

 

[7.62willdo]

there is no ITAR for the US Government……….only us.

 

[Steel+Killer]

Too bad the democrats don't want to protect our boarder the way they want to protect Ukraine's......

SHOT Show MKS Supply, Barnaul (Russian) Ammo Imports

Ammunition sanctions on Russian ammunition imports are expected to affect American supplies, in the future. Current import applications will keep the supply flowing for months.

Oh, I don't know, French weapons should be pretty pristine, right?

Only dropped once. Should be good to go.

 

[GreenGO Juan]

Remember that one time in September 2014 Poroshenko came and spoken in front of congress.

And they refused to offer weapons.

Now nearly 8 years later... weapons?

Why are the snipers moving into position during the day......

Kinda dumb in my book.

[TurboTrout]

I’d prefer to use the gear the wins in competition that mimic snipery situations vs the gear bureaucrats and lobbyists choose for the poors to go to their wars with

It's a moot point. If Russia decides to move, they're all going to get rolled.

On the bright side tho, looks like there will be some sweet battlefield pick ups.

 

[Doc68]

Why would they, there's no money to be made protecting our border.

Doc

 

[GTOJOSH]

Ia there a scenerio that 0lays out where Russian sanctions are lifted, and primers, ammo, and surplus Ak's flow like cheap wine into our country again?

 

[Steel+Killer]

Potato head and his colored whore could give two fucks about Ukraine or the people in it. I bet neither one could point it out on a fucking map.

 

[Jim Out]

Why would they, there's no money to be made protecting our SIDE OF THE border.

Doc

This has been in the works. So months before the media jumped on the recent Russia,Russia,Russia train the US was already planning on selling Poland tanks.

Here’s when General Dynamics thinks a sale of Abrams tanks to Poland will move forward

General Dynamics hopes to move forward on a foreign military sale of Abrams tanks to Poland.
