Guns of Ukraine war picture thread

[Suck My Glock]

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 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.

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..

3 American volunteers, with 2 SCAR-Ls and an AK.

Everybody loves to pose with the German gear, but unfortunately, this plays right into the Russians' hands in portraying Ukrainians as Nazis in their propaganda. Ukrainians don't care anymore.

Here's a forward observation scout. His job is stealth; quiet electric bike, quiet AR rifle, and instead of a holstered pistol, he's got a portable reciprocating saw for cutting off branches to lay over him and his bike for camouflage while he surveils his sector and spots for artillery.

Ukrainian girls just LOVE American ordnance.

More international volunteers with FN SCAR-Ls

Here's a few pictures of President Zelensky's protective detail inner ring guys today on Ukraine's Independence Day. They have transitioned from the AKSU-74s and AK-74s at the beginning of the war and have now all adopted U.S.-supplied M4s with ACOGs. Not seen in these photos but which I saw in a video is at least one guy hanging back with an FN M-249 Para belt-fed.

Barrett MRAD in Ukraine

https://twitter.com/jmscaronte/status/1562757521605283842

Here we have a privately owned semi-auto AR15 possessed by a member of the Terran drone reconnaissance unit. You can tell by the non-milspec handguard without heat shields, the commercial muzzle brake, the pistol grip, butt stock and Magpul mag. Apparently his drill sergeant didn't smack him around enough during basic, because his safety is off.
