Guns of Ukraine war picture thread

A Ukrainian sniper with Zbroyar Z-10 precision rifle, made locally.

When you know it takes 300 lbs. or more to set them off, you just kick AT mines off the road.

Here is a new nasty the Russians are using. It is an air-dropped seismic-sensing bouncing mine. They get dropped over wide areas by helo or plane, falling under their tiny parachute, then deploy their little tree-stand upon impact. Once they sense someone walking by,...they bounce up to eye height and KABOOM!! They were just designed and adopted last year. They tend to blend in with all the other rubble and war trash laying about, so people are encountering them when trying to pick through bombed out houses for survivors or food.

Ukrainian SF dudes, doing the shoot-n-scoot thing, with SIG Virtus rifles and RPG-22 anti-tank tubes lashed on their racks. Latvia donated the ATVs.

Twitter and many other places try to keep them from being posted, but there are plenty of pictures being taken currently of all the dead airborne Russian troopers (VDV) in the recently vacated areas around Kyiv that the Ukrainians are re-occupying. As the Russians retreat from these areas they have occupied for multiple weeks, it appears no efforts were made during their stay to reclaim bodies of their own troopers. They are being found in alleys and houses and ditches everywhere in various stages of rot and decay. This is what the stray and displaced animals are feeding on. Some of the images look right out of Stalingrad in 1943, except for the AK rifles.

Just wait for the thousands of dum dums that went through the red forest and start dying of radiation sickness

Here's a group photo of foreign volunteers. While the AKs and Tavors and Malyuks have been issued to Ukrainians, the foreign volunteers tend to have been the recipients of the NATO-donated rifles. This is usually because the rifles were delivered in Lviv in the western border region, which is also where the foreign volunteers were processed into the forces. Here we see some Bren2s, some FN/FNCs in the back row, one wz88 Polish Tantal, a PK, an M249 and an AK74.

This guy appears to be carrying a rare PGW Defence LRT-3 bolt-action sniper rifle — which was possibly supplied by Canada. He is cradling a side folding AK74 as his personal defense weapon.

It can be difficult to see, but one guy in the back, next to the dude with the MP5A3, has a Croatian Agram 2000 SMG around his neck.

Now you don't see these hardly ever - an SVT, with a suppressor, no less!!

2 AK74s, a PKM and a Tavor. Notice these 2 AK74s are also sporting M-loc lower handguards.

This is a Ukrainian-made Fort-12B in 9x18 just received by American volunteer James Vasquez who has been in country for nearly the entire war. Pic is from his Twitter account.

Here is a selection of patches worn by foreign volunteers in what is rapidly coming to be called The Ukraine Foreign Legion.

Pups, girls and guns,...Ukraine ain't so bad.

One dude here has a suppressed Barrett MRAD, and his spotter has a suppressed AK74

This guy's main tool is a Savage Model 10 BA Stealth (.308 or 6.5 Creedmore?) and a Tavor copy (Fort-221) as his close quarters weapon.

The vehicle being towed is a Russian Typhoon MRAP type vehicle. Any idea if those are Russians or Ukrainians?

Yes, Ukrainian locals.

Guessing Ukrainian. Blue on the scope?

Here is a rare sextuple anti-aircraft mount for DP28 machineguns, formerly on display in the Kyiv Military Museum (photo is from 1995). Anything functional on display was issued out to defenders weeks ago. The DP28s in this photo are somewhere in the area around Kyiv chopping up the countryside once again.

3 more Forward Observation Group (FOG) dudes. From left to right; Savage Stealth BA (.308 or 6.5), Stetchkin 9x18 machine-pistol, 2 AR-type rifles, the one on right has Taran Tactical weighted floor plate on the 40-rnd. Magpul. Rather large exit orifice on the can; .300blk maybe?

Interesting photos of Ukrainian SOF with notable hardware/kit.
The combatant appears to be using a SIG 716 Gen 2 Sniper rifle/DMR which seems to be equipped with a possible SIG SRD762(TI) suppressor as well.

Another Remington ACR in country, with an ACOG, in the hands of a combat medic.

We've already seen many suppressed weapons, but here's just another sampling that shows the Ukrainians have a penchant for suppressing all the things. Here a Ukrainian is posing with his Autel drone and his suppressed Malyuk.

Here's a Ukrainian with his suppressed AR15 type rifle in front of a captured tank.

Here's another Ukrainian with a suppressed AK74. But notice over his shoulder is another guy carrying a suppressed AK and a suppressed AR10 variant over his shoulder. The soldier further away by the red brick fence it pointing a suppressed weapon downrange.

Mix of old and new from Ukraine- a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 and a modern Pulsar Digisight N-series night optic, plus a suppressor.

Another pre-WW2 DP28, but with an optic and a suppressor. Coolness!!

In this group photo, notice the suppressed Barrett on the far right.

Turkish MKE MP5 MTS A3 submachine gun. It was likely supplied to the UA National Police by Turkey

Get in, loser! We're doing Ukrainian stuff! (Notice under the rear grab bar of the Maxim mount is another old DP28, and the magazine is forward of the wheels.)

Here is a Makarov a Ukrainian had been wearing on the front of his plate carrier. A Russian sniper round destroyed it and then lodged in his American-supplied plate.

An awful lot of previously "illegal" guns that Ukrainians kept squirreled away have come out of the woodwork during the war. I'd love to know the story behind this cherry Mauser Shnellfeuer select-fire "Broomhandle" and how it was hidden away in such fine shape since the end of WW2. Typically, these were only issued to domestic police forces inside Germany proper,...so how the fug did it get here?!?!
