Guy in the back is an American volunteer (notice the subdued American flag patch on his chest), with a Glock in his holster, a captured AK in one hand and another RPG-22 in his other. Some sort of scope rifle slung behind him on his right.

Not only is Anya a Polish volunteer, even her fingernail polish is tactical sage green. And she's rockin' an FN SCAR-L. I'm hypnotized!

This is the Serbian "Black Lance" 20mm suppressed anti-materiel rifle. The suppressor is also a gas piston/gas trap apparatus to cycle the weapon. Just released last year, apparently a few were sold to Ukraine, but deliveries ceased, since Serbia has chosen to align with Russia.

In the last few seconds of this video, you see one Ukrainian dude who decided to embrace the whole Nazi label thing and outfit himself not only with a Sturmgewer44, but an entire WW2 German eastern front uniform. Probably just for psychological effect on the Russians.

Oh, golly. Soooooo glad FN included a bayonet with those donated F2000s. Because, like, those Russian bayonet charges are a muthafukah.

In Ukraine, there is very little if any helicopter evac of casualties. So instead, volunteer medics - most of whom were emergency room nurses and doctors before the war - are on standby in SUVs to respond to nearby casualties. Thusly, they are driving straight into where battle is occurring,...but unlike in a helo,...they get zero opportunity see the scene before arriving or ability to choose any direction to escape if fired upon. These medics, most of whom are women, sometimes get intercepted by the enemy on their way in and have to shoot their way out or through. Sometimes they arrive at the casualty location only to get pinned down and trapped there with the unit. So all medics, like Yaryna here, come armed like their patients. Usually in pairs. Yaryna's assistant medic/nurse, Oleksandra, is holding the camera. Their AKs are on the hood of the Mitsubishi.

A modified direct-fire RPG with 82mm mortar attached, hiding behind a,...hey,...this bush smells kinda,...funky.

Not sure who these guys are. No insignia seen or description in the photo. But the 2 guys in the middle carry the first HK416s I've seen in country, which I consider significant.

What rifle you're carrying in Ukraine often says a lot about who you are. If you have a NATO weapon, you are likely a foreign volunteer. If you have 5.45 AK, you're likely an Army regular or reservist. If you have a 7.62 AK, you're likely a citizen who's been handed a war reserve stock rifle at the last minute when the invasion happened, or it's your own private weapon you had before the invasion. Either way,...having a 7.62 Kalashnikov USUALLY means you're nobody special. Except, these two guys have quality individual coms,...something as rare as hen's teeth in Ukraine. They kinda look like special boys trying hard to just look like nobody special. Hmmmmm.

So have the Stinger missiles we sent to Ukraine had an effect? Well, the Russian pilots are flying REALLY low, trying to not get blasted out of the sky. How low? Well, when you're knocking out your own rocket pods by impacting the tops of spruce trees, I'd say that's pretty fuggin' low.
