Here is another liberated Russian AK12, but sporting a Ukrainian Saim SCL-35 thermal optic,...which the Russians don't have or use.

Some of these old Maxims look like they were either arsenal refurbished or never unpacked for service til now. This one seems really clean and runs like a top.
And here we see a Donetsk separatist volunteer dedicated marksman, but instead of a modern Dragunov, he's been issued an out-of-date SKS with what appears to be a star light optic.
Here is an abandoned PKP just outside of Mariupol. It is a derivative of the PKM, but minus the removable barrel feature and fitted with a steel jacket around the barrel designed to suck in cooler air - similar in concept to the old Lewis Gun. As a result they tend to be more accurate and allow the heat shielding of optics. They are usually issued (but not exclusively) to Spetznatz units.
Here we see 2 civilian volunteers, one with his privately-owned AK that he has customized. Note the collapsible butt, the red dot and the ATI rubber pistol grip.
If Ukrainian ambushers have time to scrounge through abandoned Russian vehicles, they certainly do so. Every spare mag and crate of ammo is needed. This is the contents of a shot out BMP-3 that the Russians un-assed and fled.
Here are 2 American volunteers armed with Czech VZ58s. The Czech Republic donated 5000 of these, and they are being issued primarily to international volunteers arriving in Uzhhorod. American on the left claimed to be from Texas, while American on right said he was from Ohio.
Northern Kyiv volunteers with a mismatch of nonstandard guns. We see here a Glock17L, a semi-auto VZ61 in .380 and an RPD.
Here is a Ukrainian special forces RPG gunner's main weapon and his select-fire Stechkin pistol.
This is the unexploded remains of one of Russia's suicide drones I showed earlier in the thread. But Russia's typical poor quality control is seeing a rather unsatisfactory ratio of these just colliding with their targets and not going off, like this one.
And all those pallets of ammo you have expended trying to shoot down RC aircraft at Big Sandy has not been a waste!! Drones are everywhere on the modern battlefield, and you see one that ain't yours, shoot that sucker down!! This was a Ukrainian reconnaissance and observation drone until a Russian with an AK74 brought it down.
