Russian troops use century-old weapons in attacks on Ukrainian positions — photo
The Russian forces, the so-called "second army of the world," are storming Ukrainian positions with weapons dating back to the previous century, the Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov reported on Telegram on July 3.
At least one of the eliminated soldiers was not armed with the standard Kalashnikov rifle, the primary weapon of the Russian Armed Forces, but rather with a Mosin-Nagant 3-line rifle, the photos show.
"30 enemies were liquidated in the attack," Butusov said.
"Most strikingly, one of the fallen attackers wielded a Mosin-Nagant rifle, in use since 1891. Known as the 'Mosinka,' this firearm served in the Russian army during the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-1905 and both World Wars. The Russian Armed Forces are deploying weapons that truly have no modern equivalents."
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
