That rifle looks really black and scary, but as long as it is not a kyle asault rifle is all ok.

Sometimes I wish we could have a big scary leader who might really confront Cornpop behind the gym.

" . . . as thousands of the nation's civilians prepare for the prospect of a Russian invasion. Mariana Zhaglo is far from a typical Ukrainian soldier, but the 52-year-old marketing researcher has said she is willing to do whatever it takes. 'As a mother I do not want my children to inherit Ukraine's problems, or have these threats passed on to them. It is better that I deal with this now,' Mariana said. 'If it comes to it then we will fight for Kiev;"

Kind of an odd statement. She is supposedly arming herself against a Russian invasion, but says, "I do not want my children to inherit Ukraine's problems." ??? Is she planning on killing her children?

Women Buying sniper rifles is supposed to emote what feelings from me? No our circus. Not our monkeys.

[Sapwolf]

Practice and get that scope sighted just right.

[House Atreides]

Hmmmm… will the Biden puppet masters allow AMERICAN citizens to use sniper rifles to defend our southern borders against invaders of our country?

[doorgunner69]

An AR-15 is huge?

interesting she has a suppressor on it, does the BATF know about that?????

[smokingfrog]

Not exactly a huge rifle & probably not all that great for sniping. Better than nothing, though.

Considering the history of female Ukranian snipers*, she could do worse.

*I refer to the one and only “Lady Death”, Lyudmila Pavlichenko. 310 confirmed kills.

Well that’s what a lot of US citizens are now doing because of the invasion over our borders .....just makes sense.

the zboyar rifle shown, that has the reporter in a near-fetal position, is a Russian ompany’s ‘AR’ frame carbine with a 16 inch barrel, chambered n .223 caliber, with a suppressor attached. it utilizes 20- to 30- round magazines.

i am impressed that the Russians actuall have a factory NOT making an ‘AK’ style rifle frame.
Did you catch the reporter saying that the zboyar was a HUNTING RIFLE???
HEY BETO, HEAR THAT???

[Libloather]

Send in Cankles. She’ll know what to do.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Somebody needs to buy her a bolt action .50 BMG. Nice trigger discipline.

[circlecity]

Sorry, but a 223 is not a sniper round - not close. And I personally prefer a lighter AR-15.

Yet more British war mongering propaganda. Some (non-UK) publication investigated this woman and it turns out she is in the Ukranian equivalent of the Army National Guard with a .gov issued rifle. Why is the UK so damned intent on going to war with Russia, other than the fact the the US will wind up doing the fighting for them.
