I dont know of this is funny or sad

Blind link = sad

Nice porn link.

Very poor trigger etiquette.

shite..I'm guessing an old broad that has spent 75 years in the Ukraine is tough as nails.

No way a "Ukrainian Granny Brigade" is a thing.

Bad Propaganda.

Ukraine depending on great-grandmother's as soldiers

Depending? Not really. Ukraine has over 200,000 soldiers.

Ever read about Eastern European women during the world wars? You’d be a fool not to give them all a rifle as part of a national defense plan.

You gotta understand the Russian culture. The Russian soldiers will always be afraid of a "Bobooshka" Russian Grandmother. They are mean and fearless. They step in between fighting men without any fear. They are used to it because their men are drunkards and they have to handle up on business.

That 7.62 bakelite mag cost a pretty penny over here. Looks like a Type 3 AK47 with polish handguard from the pattern or just a really worn down Russian orange and it's full auto.

One thing for certain is if Ukraine repels the invasion by some miracle, they can recoup some cost by cutting up the old AKs and selling as parts kit here. And that bakelite magazine.

Looks like they are going for the gun behind every blade of grass tactic.

Given that type three is mid to late 50s built gun, I totally agree. They cleaning out the arsenal and outfitting everything and everyone.

I wouldn’t laugh.

Meet the Night Witches, the Daring Female Pilots Who Bombed Nazis By Night

The Germans nicknamed them the Nachthexen, or “night witches,” because the whooshing noise their wooden planes made resembled that of a sweeping broom. “This sound was the only warning the Germans had. The planes were too small to show up on radar… [or] on infrared locators,” said Steve Prowse, author of the screenplay The Night Witches, a nonfiction account of the little-known female squadron. “They never used radios, so radio locators couldn’t pick them up either. They were basically ghosts.”

Using female bombardiers wasn’t a first choice. While women had been previously barred from combat, the pressure of an encroaching enemy gave Soviet leaders a reason to rethink the policy. Adolf Hitler had launched Operation Barbarossa, his massive invasion of the Soviet Union, in June 1941. By the fall the Germans were pressing on Moscow, Leningrad was under siege and the Red Army was struggling. The Soviets were desperate.
