Flimsy NATO weapons?
And the Russians have had to resort to WWII leftovers?
Fact is also that, the Ukies have been capturing Russian weapons, many via Russian defections.
What to make of all the contradicting reports? Who do you want to believe? What reports do you want to believe?
M777 was a perfect example. The thing was so flimsy that it started to deteriorate after 100 rounds fired.
At one point the Ukrainians were aiming the gun then removing the sophisticated optics before firing because the M777 optics didn’t have the durability to withstand high rates of fire.
Typical NATO / USA gold plated overcomplicated fragile crap that is good for the occasional precision strikes on ragheads, but doesn’t last one day in a real war !
Don’t knock the classics. An AR IS flimsy compared to a mosin 91/30.
Gimme an M1 garand over any modern fudd crap you can get at academy any day.
WW2 is still the deadliest conflict in human history. Don’t sell the weapons short.
