Ukrainian Military "Authorized" To Use Live Ammo For Self-Defense

Tyler Durden's picture




 

So, "supporters" of one side that has promised not to escalate (but believes the region belongs to them based on an overwhelming vote) has killed a soldier from the other side (which has promised to respond) as he defended a military base for his country...

Does that mean war has started?

Previously, live ammo use had been confined to Ukrainian snipers.

More details are emerging on the forces the imperialist powers relied upon to oust Yanukovych. Yesterday, Russian media leaked a phone discussion on the Ukrainian protests between EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet. Contacted by the French-based euronews TV channel, Estonia’s foreign ministry confirmed the authenticity of the recorded telephone call.

The call shows that top EU officials who publicly praise the new regime as an exemplar of democracy privately view it as criminal. It also suggests that Western-backed operatives carried out deadly provocations, killing protesters and blaming their deaths on Yanukovych in order to push for regime-change.

Sure they got the memo. However they're simply being used by Kiev as political pawns now, in the hope that something bad will happen to them and they then can cry fowl at those 'evil Russian occupiers'.

Kinda reminds me of the Palestinians in Gaza.

Anyway.....an order to use live ammunition is completely useless if those who received the order don't have the stomach to actually carry it out.

Surely any Ukrainian soldier daring to open fire on the Russians would have to be insane/suicidal.

re-post,

when it comes to the motivations and purposes of the PTB's especially in the western world the question is not are you being paranoid...

the question is are you paranoid enough?

with that in mind and my tin foil hat firmly in place I table for your consideration the following question.

what does the missing Malaysian airlines Boeing Passenger jet have to do with this drama unfolding in eastern Europe?

maybe nothing, but possibly everything.

a report now circulating in the alternative media cites an alleged GRU report now in the Kremlin which, if true, makes a possible connection between two more apparent, here is the short and sweet of it.

according to the report Russian intelligence was monitoring our missing airplane due to "suspicious cargo" being loaded on board after tracking that cargo from, of all places, the good ship Maersk Alabama which is of course famous for being hijacked itself by Somali pirates later resulting in a Hollywood movie on the subject.

the GRU also cited the suspicious deaths of the two former US Navy seals assigned by the Trident security group to escort the cargo on the Alabama, as CBS news reported the two men where found dead on the Alabama of  apparent twin heart attacks due to simultaneous heroin overdoses. apparently the Russian GRU notified it's Chinese counterparts of their suspicions regarding the cargo on board flight 370 and may have made a request for the plane to be searched upon arrival in Beijing.

it was then that flight 370 promptly pulled a Houdini and the mystery began. the report further states that Russian/or Chinese military satellites data show flight 370 suddenly diverted course towards  Diego Garcia where the US navy has a base-

Kremlin: Malaysian Flight 370 Hijacked by US Navy to protect ‘Suspicious Cargo’

once again this could all be bunk as I have no way of verifying the info obviously , but if one considers the leaked phone calls from the US state dept picking winners and losers, hacked emails calling for false flags to lock in US military intervention and now these attacks in Crimea after a very peaceful referendum. is it really much of a stretch to think that this plane (or even just it's cargo) could be used in some way in a large scale false flag to be blamed on Russia thus providing Dempsey's "trigger event"  to start a war?

after all, it's not as if it hasn't been done before.

the problem with dismissing this report and the information it contains out of hand as conspiracy nonsense is that when looking at the whole picture and how things are developing, it just makes to much sense.

Uhuh, plane was sighted in the Maldives as well, meaning that you get to pick out of two conspiracy theories

1) Diege Garcia and rendition of passengers by the US - CIA plot all along

2) Islamic terror by Al Quaida, flight to rendesvous in Yemen or Pakistan

or perhaps even 1)  and 2)...who knows...outcome will be the same...plane with El Al livery pops up and crashes into something. With the suspicious flight simulator findings and the pilot's CNN appearance and questionable political leanings ?

The Maldives are not that far from Diego Garcia.  Although far enough that you wonder why that route ?  Russia and China have satelites flying with good optics.  They know where the aircraft was at sun up.  It will show up well unless there was overcast.

Interesting..

 

One certainly does wonder why this mystery airliner is ALL over the news..its as though they WANT people to keep thinking about it, and not lose sight..(so to speak).

With that, I get a gut feeling that it will turn up..somewhere... and the story will be an interesting for sure. I'm guessing.

 

Also.. I just refuse to believe that the jet wasn't being tracked. I mean..the technology they have these days is nothing short of amazing. SOMEBODY knows where the friggin plane is.(or was). ESPECIALLY someone in the U S of A. Believe it.

 

What was on the plane?... where it turns up..?..who knew about it?... can't wait for the sequel.

But we don't want to make any forecasts for bloodshed that can occur in the eastern regions. Because if the Ukrainian government pays no attention to the gravest situation in the eastern regions then the consequences may be very, very bad."

Nope.

Ukrainian forces have been offered the opportunity to leave peacefully or stay and be vetted.  Kiev wants to turn it into a fight, and get NATO involved. 

Kiev is refusing to evac its forces from what are now no longer Ukrainian bases.

Russian forces have essentially given the Ukrainian hold outs every opportunity to surrender, or stay and switch.  As with the protesters killed by snipers, this first blood is on Kiev's hands.

*TANGENTIAL RANT ALERT* 

 

How many black and hispanic men and women and kids are gunned down and brutalized in the lower 48 every single day by the "Serve and Protect" crowd?

How many people are slaughtered in their homes, markets and schools all over North Africa and the Middle east every day by the murderous gangs that have been unleashed by the western banking cartels via their meat puppets in DC/London/Brussels? Hell, I'm not even referring to the countless millions that have been murdered by US/British or any coalition of the psychopaths in the past few decades,  I mean right now on a daily basis.

How many Palestinian men women and children die everyday in the apartheid camps of the JEWISH NAZI STATE? and what has any DC administration done to stop it since Carter????

Putin thus far has been extremely measured in his response he has proven himself to be a far superior statesman to any POS the western world has offered up and has actively prevented the massive escalation that the US/UK/EU have been driving so hard for in Syria and in so doing has probably save all our sorry asses from severe radiation burns for a few more months. I know this guy has blood on his hands - but the thing is I can't prove it; by contrast  Bush Clinton, bush and laBomba; Nutenyahoo; Brown/ Blair/caMORON; Frances sock puppets and Merkel, well.... I can watch their murderous acts on video and live webcam.

From the bomb eye view of JDAMS over Iraq 91 to Waco to Kosovo to New York to London to Madrid to Bagdad to Libya to Yemen to Afghanistan ............. to Kiev I can watch people lose their lives to these murderous purveyors of democracy and freedom and soon i fear i won't even need electricity to view such scenes - I won't even need to leave my house......

The level of criminality of the western regimes over the past 2 and a half decades has become increasingly overt with a coincident increase in hypocrisy that is reaching galactic proportions ...... so yeah I would suggest y'all just engage whatever form of release gets you by and let the dust settle before condemning Putin based on little to no proof.

The guy might have blood on his hands but he doesn't have my blood on his hands and I don't think he ever will, I just wish I could say the same of my own governments......

The level of criminality of the western regimes over the past 2 and a half decades has become increasingly overt with a coincident increase in hypocrisy that is reaching galactic proportions 

 

Unfortunately for your argument, the kill totals are still far below Russia's, non-western Europe's, Asia's and China's.

The rest of the world in the past 2 millenium is almost an order of magnitude worse than the western regimes over the past 2 and a half decades.

The number of gun deaths by cops and others is far exceeded by the deaths in non-western regimes.

Nice try, but your argument requires that one be ignorant of history.

 

The only areas that come out clean are Oceania and the Western Hemisphere south of the Rio Grande. South America, especially, has been clean since Pinochet (and that was due to USA meddling) except for the FARC radicals.

Actually, the specified time window marks the end of any form of humility or accountability demonstrated by the regimes in DC or London.  It used to be that information was tightly controlled as disclosure of dirty dealings meant failure and defeat, sunshine was not the friend of the corrupt. LBJ quit, Nixon resigned because the light of day was too much for the hobgoblins to bear; by contrast a decade later GHW Satan was directly implicated in violating the constitutional laws of the US via Iran/Contra {Mena drug/gun running} And what was that money used for?? - I'll take "South and Central American Death Squads in service of the ZioBankster controlled and American taxpayer funded CIA Operations to control South and Central America " for a thousand Alex!! 

Point taken though, based on body count these are very small numbers relative to the deaths in Eurasia during the entirety of the 20th century so let's jump to the big one...... the really big one.... and  lets buy your little straw man a pair of Nikes shall we - Who supported the rise of Adolf Hitler? .... [crickets]

Walker/Bush/Brown/Harriman anyone..... anyone...... Bueller?  

Short version - Wall Street elites/British oligarchs fund the rise of our boy Adolf but he breaks his leash and goes all nationalistic on their asses; does that present a problem for Wall Street and the grand overlords?? Fuck No - they're supplying the iron, explosives and money laundering facilities, well until FDR cuts them off and charges them with trading with the enemy - although that was his payback on these assholes for the attempted coup a decade before. At any rate good ol' Assdolf has built him a very efficient killing machine and he means to use it - enter WW2 - Europe was a cake walk and he soon owns the continent bored he turns his beast east into the Soviet Union - How many Russians/Europeans died dealing with this murderous regime?? Well you can wiki that.  The Point of my increasingly rambling diatribe is where did this monster get his start follow the money .......OK so Papa Joe ..... yeah he was another real sweetheart but again who were his makers and why was he made? Degrees of separation show very close connection to our current regime in DC/London/Brussels. The goings on in the USSA/UK/EU/ME/NA clearly indicate the power behind the NAZI state have found a suitable sunblock for their lieutenants {bushes,clintons,obomba} and don't mind them coming out into the light.

GHW bush was not so cryptically called out by Hoover following the Kennedy affair - or as Barry Seal called it That Bay of Pigs thing - Hoover making sure that a record existed of GHW being associated with the CIA and Cuban Mercs and being in Dallas on the day of the big show.  

Sorry to ramble so far and wide - and yeah you are probably correct my knowledge of history is sorely lacking and I have no reason to think that drug/gun running through Mena by an agency created, controlled and staffed by wall street in order to foster death and destruction has anything to do with the deaths of 85 million people........ oh except I keep seeing the same names appear on the program card......

My guess is you are under 40 years of age, because your replies (and most here on ZH) all contain lack of responsibility to those who killed (unless it's the Americans and then they are to blame for every ingrown toenail for 384 years).

Germany not to blame, nope. The Bankers.

Russia not to blame, nope. They were forced to protect Ukraine.

Mom! He made me do it!

Your reply is indicative of a 5 year old trying to pin the back seat of the SUV fight on his 3 year old little brother.

Such lack of accountability, unless it's the USA and then they are responsible for The Oort Cloud and Andromaeda Galaxy.

The argument shop is around the corner and three doors down....

Americans ..... Oort Cloud.... what are you talking about???? Everybody knows it was the Vidiians fucking around with that Krenim temporal phase modulator  that caused that mess..... stay on point please.

But if I may use some of your straw to heat my lunch...... the man with the checkbook  is the evil to be illuminated, the guy with the gun well hell he's just a man with a gun doing what he is being paid to do - one man with a gun is quite limited in his ability to kill - the man with the money on the other hand can wipe out entire cities before lunch. Kissinger couldn't fight his way out of a douche bag but he was quite adept at killing millions of people thousands of mile away wasn't he? 

And no my dear, I assume you are a chick, when i speak of americans I am referring to those psychopath parasites that worm their way into positions of power and cynically wrap themselves in a flag that they have no right to even cast their eyes upon as they spew their lies to coerce the American people into committing atrocities on an industrial scale - but as you will note my reference is more often to DC as this is the seat of unfathomable evil perpetrated against all of humanity - the American people in particular.  The fact is the Terror war is being waged against all those who are not in the western  bankers cabal.

I assume you feel offence due to some sense of infringement on your nationalistic pride and i can understand that to a degree but think about it this way, the liars and killers of Wall Street and DC are presenting themselves as your representative as they project evil in your name; whether the project be the destruction of Syria, Libya, Egypt, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Honduras, Chile, Mexico, or most tragically the UNITED STATES of AMERICA make no mistake this war is on you, your family and everything you hold dear and they ain't even hiding it. 

 

 

Oh and the 5 year old, well maybe just maybe he is warranted in his assertion that the fight was initiated by the three year old sticking his crayola in his eye......

You are a little firefly ain't cha well normally I don't get too involved in these kinds of things but .... fuck it why not...

Ok first off exaggeration aside you would pull the trigger, thrust the knife swing the club or commit any of a number of acts that would result in the expiration of a life so get that right out of your head right now- don't think so sunshine - you got kids?  Anybody you love ever been in peril at the hands of another - so at the risk of sounding like a prick - don't tell me you wouldn't take a life or give up yours to protect theirs. 

Now as far as your general attitude toward what you foolishly perceive as Pro-Russian sentiment; Stevie Wonder could see that the attitude is clearly directed against the cancer that grips our world in the form of shadow governments, elites, whatever you call them they are nothing more than incestuous  psychopathic killers - Clintons come to mind; and no I'm not pulling that out of my ass do some research on these people and the trail of bodies in their wake as they take another run at ruling, but they are merely a symptom of the greater problem.

America was mortally wounded with the death of JFK, recall his speech at the UN where he outlined the staging down of the MIC on both sides of the Iron Curtain and he also was working to break the grip of the federal reserve on the American people; think about that for a minute; but that hope ended with his passing and LBJ was installed as Killer in Chief - Tonkin Gulf False Flag and suddenly Vietnamese men women and children are being incinerated  in their homes and blown to pieces from the air, sea and ground and for what? The US dropped more bombs on VN during that murderous decade than they did during the second world war.... for what?? To prepare for a soviet invasion?? Who benefits from such action? The american people ?

Vietnam was the beginning of the terminal phase of the end of Americas chances to survive as a free country; with the rupture of the final link to tangible backing of the dollar the corner was turned and; although corruption was never a stranger to the American experience it became increasingly overt.

The CIA took over the reigns of drug running from the golden triangle that had been set up by the French to fund their guerrilla armies to battle Ho Chi Minh s forces  and they never looked back - at first I'm sure it was just about drugs for guns but then it became much much more with money being pumped through wall street to support Americas addiction to MOAR - GHW Bush, Dick Armitage, Barry Seal, the Dulles assholes  do some reading they've left a trail a mile wide behind them the death and destruction these assholes are responsible for beggars belief.  

DC has been bought and paid for long ago,  the constitution has been completely negated with the laws of the week and now the world is subjected to the rantings of the Kerry/Obombsaway/McStalin about how you can't invade another country on trumped up pretexts - Fuck me - if you can honestly watch the goings on of these - I have no words to properly capture the despise and contempt I hold for these pieces of shit- at any rate if you can say anything positive about DC I can only wish you godspeed as you plant your lips firmly on their anuses and suck for all you are worth...... READ SOME FUCKING AMERICAN HISTORY

The State Duma has passed a motion suggesting that the US and EU extend the freshly introduced sanctions to all Russian MPs rather than a limited group of officials, defying western pressure just hours before Russia and Crimea signed a federation treaty.

The motion was supported by a unanimous vote on Tuesday morning. It was prepared the day before by all four parliamentary parties after representatives of the United States and the European Union said they were slapping sanctions, such as visa bans and asset freezes, on a number of Russian officials who are seen as “key ideologists and architects” of the policy towards Ukraine.

Given the recent sacking of the CIA chief for Iran, and Moshe Yaalon's recent 180, and a recent letter signed by 80+ senators referring to a "nuclear weapons program" that our own fuckin' intelligence agencies have said does not exist -  and stories in the Israeli press like this ...  I think there's a fairly good chance Iran {or Syria then/and Iran} could actually be attacked pretty soon, granting that an attack has seemed imminent off and on for several years now.

p.s. fuck Bill Kristol.  The man needs an ass-kicking from 5 or 6 guys who were stop-lossed a few times in Iraq because, in large part, Kristol and his fellow neocons lied us into a war they had wanted for years.

The recommendations to the Israeli government to sabotage the peace process in Palestine are presented by the authors of Clean Break as part of a larger plan to allow Israel to “shape its strategic environment”, by “removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq”, weakening Syria and Lebanon, and finally Iran. When Perle, Feith and Wurmser moved to key positions in the U.S. government, they arranged for the United States to implement the program themselves, without Israel having to pay a single drop of blood. If there are differences between the Clean Break report written for the Israeli government in 1996 and the report Rebuilding America’s Defenses written by the same authors for the U.S. government in 2000, it is not in the program itself, but rather the argued reasons. First, Clean Break does not have Iraq as a threat, but as the weakest of the enemies of Israel, the least dangerous and the easiest to break. In a follow-up to Clean Break, entitled Coping with Crumbling States: A Western and Israeli Balance of Power Strategy for the Levant, Wurmser emphasizes the fragility of Middle East States, particularly Iraq: “the residual unity of the nation is an illusion projected by extreme repression of the state”. Thus the same action of first overthrowing Saddam is recommended to Israel and the United States, but for opposite reasons. The weakness of Iraq, which is the reason for Israel, does not constitute a valid reason for the United States; and so it was therefore necessary to present Iraq to the Americans as a mortal threat to their country. Netanyahu himself authored an article in the Wall Street Journal in September 2002, under the title “The Case for Toppling Saddam”, describing Saddam as “a dictator who is rapidly expanding his arsenal of biological and chemical weapons, who has used these weapons of mass destruction against his subjects and his neighbors, and who is feverishly trying to acquire nuclear weapons”. Nothing of such a threat, however, is mentioned in Israeli internal documents, which also make no mention of any further connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda, nor even Al-Qaeda in general. The perspective on Iraq in Clean Break was the realistic one, while the motives given America was pure propaganda: by the time American troops moved into Iraq, the country had been ruined by a decade of economic sanctions that had not only rendered its army powerless, but also destroyed its once exemplary education and health care systems, taking the lives, according to UNICEF, of half a million children. It follows, therefore, that the speech given.

The second fundamental difference between the strategy recommended for Israelis and the propaganda sold to the Americans: while the second highlights both the security interest of the United States, and the noble ideal to spread democracy in the Middle East, the first ignores these two themes. The changes proposed by the Clean Break authors are not expected to bring any benefit to the Arab world. Instead, the goal is clearly to weaken Israel’s enemies by sharpening ethnic, religious and territorial disputes between countries and within each country. After the fall of Saddam, foreseen in Coping with Crumbling States, Iraq would be “ripped apart by the politics of warlords, tribes, clans, sects, and key families”, for the benefit of Israel. Furthermore, it is not democracy that Clean Break recommended for Iraq, but rather restoring a pro-Western monarchy. Such an outcome would obviously be unacceptable to the Americans, but when Lewis Paul Bremer, as head of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in 2003, brought about the destruction of the military and civilian infrastructure in the name of “de-Bassification”, it was viewed as a success from the eyes of the Likud. Better still, by dissolving the army, Bremer indirectly created a disorganized pool of resistance of some 400 000 angry soldiers, ensuring chaos for a few years. Daniel Pipes had the gall to write, three years after the invasion of Iraq: the benefits of eliminating Saddam’s rule must not be forgotten in the distress of not creating a successful new Iraq. Fixing Iraq is neither the coalition’s responsibility nor its burden”. And besides, he adds, “when Sunni terrorists target Shiites and vice-versa, non-Muslims are less likely to be hurt. Civil war in Iraq, in short, would be a humanitarian tragedy but not a strategic one” (New York Sun, February 28, 2006). Under Bremer’s leadership, 9 billion dollars disappeared in fraud, corruption and embezzlement, according to a report by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Stuart Bowen, published January 30th, 2005....

Who's gonna attack Iran? Obungle? Just ask yourself if the American people will tolerate another foreign entanglement. Never mind that he himself mentally is not prepared for a confrontation. That's why he stayed out of Libya and Syria and that's why he'll stay out of Iran. And that;s why he's staying out Ukraine : )

You think the Israelis will attack? Not so fast. Iran has a proxy armed with the latest in Russian anti tank missiles and other surprises positioned along the enitre northern Israeli border numbering anywhere between 5 to 20 thousand men, who are available immediately for fighting and terrrorizing the zionists on Lebanese soil once invaded, which will happen after northern israeli cities will be barraged with thousands of mortars and katyushas by said proxy army when Iran will be attacked by zionist warplanes. (Notwithstanding that said proxy army is suffering heavy casualties in Syria as we speak assisting good ole Bashr take care of some domestic issues. Whatever the losses are, and significant they are, manpower will always be available for a zionist ruckus.) Instead, the Israelis are preferring to handle the Iranian project digitally or by removing high profile individuals involved. Stuxnet was an instance of the former and the assasination of around a dozen Iranian (and possibly Russian?) engineers over the past five to ten years an instance of the latter. And in response Iranians resort to making use of less risky proxy in the south and targeting "soft" Israeli/J targets around the world (e.g. Burgas bus bombing last summer).

wrong in various ways, for the tb I'll simply note that neither Iran or Hez were involved in the bus bombing. They also likely weren't involved in the Buenos Aires ARIA bombing.  "False flag" gets thrown around too much but one of these was almost certainly a ff, and the other could well have been.

Israel was born in acts of terror and assassination and false flags, from king david to lavon affair to uss liberty- quite possibly to the marine barracks explosion although this is conjecture.  Such a state, guided by both colonialism, paranoia, and the Jewish supremacist ethics of both secular and religious Zionism would have no more qualms about killing innocent people to try to blame the Amalek du jour than radical Muslims have killing lots of fellow "martyrs" to kill some infidels.

 

As you know.

 

The nukes issue is of course a ruse, and the goalposts on negotiations will always be moved in order to prevent resolution, a typical Israel tactic.

Johnny, as you ssem to have a grasp of things, would you wade in on explaining their attempt to cause mayhem and murder in the Mexican Congress in Oct 2001 shortly after razing the Twin Towers?

THAT Mexican Congress event was as under-reported in the Western media as any event could possibly be.  Gotta protect the guilty.

http://www.rense.com/general17/mossadagentsarrested.htm

"As reported in La Vox De Aztlan, two men, one of them a former Israeli Colonel and Mossad agent, were arrested INSIDE the Mexican congress carrying 9mm pistols and dynamite, but were released following intense pressure from the Israeli Embassy."

Intense pressure?  Kinda like ZIOFILTH  Asst US Atty Gen Michael Chertoff intervening and sending the DANCING JEWS on their merry way back to ISRAHELL.

http://columbus.indymedia.org/node/13067

And in the days before and after 9/11 how many of the so-called movers' vans and trucks were stopped by police in multiple states while those jews were on reconnaissance around nuclear plants...police whose bomb sniffing dogs detected explosives in the vehicles? 

Oh the memory hole.

P.S.

"the goalposts on negotiations will always be moved in order to prevent resolution, a typical Israel tactic."

kinda like their meandering borders...which sociopaths refuse to define.  Hey, why define them and be committed to that?  Easier to leave them wide open and subject to the Satanic state's whims.

Fuck every...last...one of them, and their co-religionists who circle the wagons around them.  EVERY...LAST...ONE.  If one of them would immolate every time I snapped my fingers you'd think you were hearing a castanet marching band.

On a sidenote, is it common for Russian soldiers to carry US-made weapons? There is a big photo floating around that supposedly shows a few Ukrainian soldiers being detained. Yet, the Russian who is detaining them is carrying an M-110 sniper rifle (or something very similar) which is chambered in 7.62x51 (not a standard Russian cartridge). I just found that to be strange and a bit off.

In fact, here's the photo:

it's definitely not an m110, but I don't know if it's just a dressed up VSS, which would seem most likely. Not an SVD either, right?

Good question.

Tue, 03/18/2014 - 19:30 | 4565582 navy62802
navy62802's picture

I would say definitely not an SVD ... typical SVD mag isn't polymer with a magpul handle on the bottom and it looks like the magazine doesn't have the curvature you would see with a 7.62x54R. As far as being an M110, I tend to agree, but it's the closest I could come to specific identification. I think it is something similar though, based on the round (7.62x51 ... estimated from the magazine appearance and design ... and you wouldn't put a scope like that on a 5.56 rifle).

But the point really is why Russian forces would be using ANY rifle chambered in a standard NATO round. That doesn't make any sense to me at all. I'm about 99% sure that the rifle in the picture is a .308/7.62x51 which is a standard NATO round. In the Russian military, I would expect to see a Dragunov instead (or something similar chambered in 7.62x54R). It's just a weird picture. Doesn't seem right.

EDIT - On closer examination, I can't determine for sure from the picture whether that is a 5.56x45 or a 7.62x51 ... it has to be one of the two. However, that is definitely a 20-round magpul magazine (whether 5.56 or 7.62) with a handle on the bottom. And thus, the question remains ... why are Russian forces using a NATO round in a Stoner rifle?

Interesting. Looks like a typical Wyoming prairie dog rig except the sporter weight barrel looks a little light. That scope would be worse than useless at close range. I don't see a red dot or BU sights. I couldn't tell a 5.56 from a 7.62 in the photo, but the mag looks short for 7.62x51. I have that grip on my M&P. The suppressor certainly appears to be well suited for sniping. Looks like what a twenty something puppy from the Rockies would throw together for a self-defense/varmint rig. Pull the scope and go with Red dot for blasting targets, clay pigeons, or beer cans.

     I am curious about the digital camo and what appears to be non-regulation footwear. Thanks for photo.
