Imagine Ukraine actually using those weapons very effectively, specially small arms and AA systems.
WOwowowowow, I didnt mention anything about Ukraine.
So unlicensed copies you said ?
Those weapons are surplus from the former Soviet Union.
Quite sure UA is quite capable to manufacture its own tools as well as modernize the old ones.
But lets say theyr all USSR how come theyr so much better on the other side of the fence ?
Sort off, rampant corrupción left their weapons industry in decay, and after 2014, they revived it, but dedicated it to the production of different systems, like sniper rifles, anti material rifles, anti tank rocket launchers, etc.
Many of their small arms were of Soviet origin but right now there are all sorts of fire arms in there. Everything ranging from the very old, to the cutting edge technology.
