Questo è ciò con cui a volte il Cremlino equipaggia i suoi soldati. Perché solo qualche volta? Chi lo sa!

It’s an air rifle.
It shoots 4.5 mil lead pellets, by Spring compression cilinder.
Yet another thing to add to my laundry list of the failures of the Ruzzian invasion. I just told someone about the march of the men with crutches (among other things) yesterday.
Like in games but in loop “reloooadiiing !”

Russians will occassionally carry whatever ‘quiet’ weapon they can get their hands on, in addition to their regularly issue weapons.
Air rifles, crossbows, slingshots, etc- the idea is that Russian troops who are crawling forward towards Ukrainian trenches have a silent weapon they can use to try to kill a Ukrainian sentry without alerting everyone else by using a firearm.
The Soviets built a lot of various weapons that filled this tactical role- from integrally suppressed weapons in 9x33mm all the way to captive piston cartridge weapons ranging from pistol caliber to small mortars. The Russians have inherited this attraction to quiet weapons as part of their tactical equipment.
The Russian troops leading the way aren’t the top grade of Russian troops (those guys usually have suppressors) so their special equipment is liklier to be repurposed sporting goods.
Russia has already shown their ass to the whole world and proven they can’t forward deploy their forces in any meaningful way…their nuclear arsenal is the only thing that makes them scary and they know it, which is all the more terrifying
If your just drawing fire, why waste a good AK, just need you to be enough of a threat to be shot at.
But darn solid show they are desperate. Did this shit when they mass mobilised, but eventually seemed to close that gap for a year with new/old proper guns.
Running out of rifles, the bare minimum, seems a very poor sign if this becomes widespread.
