Here we see some Georgian volunteers, at least one of which is also an American (wearing his American flag patch on his chest, holding the M4), and they are armed with both FN SCAR L and FN SCAR H rifles with various ACOGs, in addition to the .338 Lapua rifle in a Ukrainian UKROP chassis. Likely a Savage.

AR15 and AK47 serving side by side.

Hummer, BF Goodrich tires, AR15, Walmart footwear,...this Ukrainian war is rather American in feel.

Here's an interesting video out of the occupied territory. Russian police raid a home gunsmith who was helping arm behind the lines partisans with suppressed weapon, including shotguns firing subsonic homemade slugs. There isn't that much talking, so you don't need to understand Russian to glean from this what's going on.

Malyuks, AKs, an M4, an AR15-type, and AR10-type, all serving together. And at least one Brit in the photo.

The trees have eyes,...and a Savage Model 10

The weaponry and gear keep getting more American over time. Here are a couple M240Bs and at least one U.S. M4, along with locally produced Zobrar Z15 rifles and one Z10.

As more American and British materiel arrives in theater to be issued, Ukrainian troops are looking more and more indistinguishable from western NATO members. Here we see the uniforms for this bunch are Multicam. Rifles are M4s with ACOGs. One fellow has an M249. Western helmets for NVGs. DJI Mavic drone hovering at waist level in the foreground.

Here's another example

Suppressed M249 with ACOG, looking like it's never been issued before with that nice clean finish.

Even former Soviet bloc end users hate the under-folder stock paratrooper AKs. This Ukrainian has taken his off and replaced it with a commercial AR-tube type adjustable buttstock, as well as BHO safety. His NVGs probably cost 20x times his rifle.
Image

This guy appears to be a surviving early Ukrainian volunteer, because despite his all new gear, he's still using his personal privately owned AR15. How do we know that? No pin hole for the auto sear.

The American is holding his CZ Bren 2, while his buddy holds the suppressed Barrett.

Quick google search suggests that much ammo is about 27lbs, 18lb gun. It the back pack system super heavy?

Seems like a guy that is used to combat situations should be able to move better with 45lbs on him..
