These rebels sure are well armed aren’t they.
An amazing supply of AKs, Dragonovs, ammo and uniforms. And no 2A.
A skeptical person might wonder how that all came together so fast.

Slovyansk sits on top of the largest cache of Soviet-Era infantry weapons in the old Soviet Union, the Volodarsky salt mine, that the rebels have had control of since March.
The area was supposed to be a rally point for Several Soviet Third_Wave Infantry Divisions, if the balloon ever went up.

All of the above are selling online inside Russia, and they probably could ship to Ukraine under Russian custom agreement (I wonder would EU allow trading guns online in Ukraine under their rules? Most of these toys are hughly illegal in Europe.)
I haven’t spend enough time to find Dragunov online, but you can buy it in any gunshop at about $1,500 there.
