***** Maybe grammatically safe! Call it a fucking pogo stick. It's still going to mow people down like a goddamn john deere.

Just so you know, i'v read a good 40 separate comments going over this, those of you who know are not thought of as hardcore gun nuts, actually i think, wow somebody played a lot of video games, else why they get so OCD about it?

My point was more that journalists should use vague, but correct terms to avoid sounding stupid, since if you make a little mistake like that, people can ultimately question the validity of your statements even more. It's a shame that Simon got into some shit and had to be replaced, while I didn't agree with some points he'd make, it was reassuring he knew the language and was knowledgeable about the general situation among other things.

Majestic Yodalar Rootie Tootie, point and shootie.

TopShelfization well.... One s right, one isn't. It's like calling an apple an orange.

Sha4loMr There are a lot of murderers in Odesa too....

jakatom and try to guess where did they come from? famous ukrainian titushkas from eastern regions are traveling through the country

Sha4loMr The fact is that there are armed neo-fascist gangs in Ukraine. When the Odesa massacre happened even members of parlament congratulated the fascists for being good murderers. And don't think the world doesn't know about the rise of fascism in Ukraine....

jakatom Well, whenever you disrupt a peaceful march of Ultra nationalist football fans to their football game by killing three of them you usually get the same outcome

jakatom but it wasn't caused by ukrainian nationalists (or how you call them "fascists". At least they are under some government control, but prorussians are under russia control.). everything started from ukrainian march which was then attacked by prorussian armed people. and they had not only baseball bats, but guns and machine guns. and the most terrible is that they were covered and protected by local corrupted police. and then was the massacre.

hahahahaha

that creased me up a little

Ukrainians have several years compulsory military service in which they are trained to use all kinds of such weapons. Are you suggesting that they would forget all their training instantly upon leaving the military? I'm pretty sure that they would still know how to use guns, even several years after leaving the army. My friend was in the army 6 or 7 years ago, but he still knows the training.

tigermunky you cant shot down 2 helis with rpg if you dont have full training course in army turst me, rpgs are so hard to use and what you can say about that chechen at 3:00? look at his logo on forehead, i know how military stuff works and i gotta say i can see more things in this video than others....... this is just too obvious that there are russian troopers among separatist noobs.

Yeah, so much for journalistic objectivity. Also, what about calling AK47s & RPGs "heavy weapons". A real military expert this one. This whole thing is fubar.

giorgi bitadze I've seen no proof of Russian soldiers there please link if you have seen any proof , and a rpg7 is very easy to use even children can use them and have done, less than 1min of instruction would be enough. About 1/3rd of Russians have family in Ukraine and most Russians hate fascists so of cause there will be Russians but there not fsb or army or anything like that .

Steve Arthur The Taliban had training from the SAS and have access to larger weapons just like the Pro-Russians seem to have all of a sudden.

Give him a peanut!

AK74, eh? Do those fire backwards?

That just made my day! XD

I've been watching these Ukrainian reports for a while and I haven't seen one of these pro-Russian separatists folks carrying an AK-47. That seems really weird to me as there are plenty of people in the States that would choose an Ak-47 over an AR-15 or M4 or AK74. I'm not sure what that means about the supplies the separatists have. It seems fishy

The AK 74M is the Ukrainian and Russian service rifle and IE what they seize most often. If I seized arms from a British military base for instance I'd expect to see LA85's and no SLR's. Like the British did with the SLR's, the Russians sold off or destroyed most of their old rifles a long time ago. The AK47 is so popular in the states because of the readily available quantities of steel surplus ammo and discount AK derivatives imported from former eastern bloc countries such as Romania and Belarus.

Give the guy a break he ain't a gun expert they probably all look the same, like an M4 and M16

Actually they look a lot diffrent and have diffrent caliblre, too. It's also not about using the wrong term I guess. It's more about using a catch word like "AK-47", wich in public perception sounds dangerous or otherwise "deviant". Instead of using the wrong term/name, saying assault rifle or even AK-74 derivate would suggest proper knowledge and a more differentiated professional opinion.

someone plays call of duty.

***** someone is a tough cunt with a gun.

Didn't see any AK-74M here. Only AKS-74 and AK-74 :)

You haven't matured past the age of 5 with that idiotic comment.This is the wests fault.The west installed the new puppet regime in Kiev.Im not saying Yanukovych was much better,but at least there was no violence in the country until the Eu deal bullshit went down.Then the west started supporting the Maidan protestors who for the most part were made up of Ukrainian nationalists who hate Russia and Russians.Its like they were too dumb to predict this.You put a pro-Ukrainian nationalist government in Kiev obviously the other nationalities in Ukraine will feel oppressed.What Ukraine needs is a government who is neither pro Russian nor pro Ukrainian.

hahaha well said mega. russian people always crying about how their problems are USA or someone else's fault. it's almost funny if it wasn't so stupid and pathetic. the russians have been and always will be their own worst enemies. they do their best to hold onto all the nearby countries and did their best to Russify them but as the world can see since 1991 most people don't want anything to do with the Russian's

sergey glavan I love blind propaganda like this comment hahaha

sergey glavan wrong comrade, this is all putins fault, hes angry that Ukrainians ousted Yanukovych his puppet.

sergey glavan Well considering that Russia's puppet regime was , the west would've done them a favour. assuming they even had anything to do with it. "oh yeah sure here are shields from our NATO shield factories, go topple your government". look how Putin gave their journos medals for putting things in the correct light :DDDDD obviously the fact that west's leaders don't give their journos any medals mean that they failed in their job. lmao.

Yeah. We can clearly see faces of terrorussians, e.g. Mamiev.

uvanakorgana Russia is loosing money rapidly right now because of this. And coal in Donbass is depleting, that's why they are not getting paid, because the deeper you mine , the poorer quality coal you get and it becomes more expensive to mine it in the first place. So i don't see how Russia could help them.

***** And what "People in the West" are you referring to that you think are pulling the strings?

Black, white, black, white, black, white ... ou yeah.

I am Russian and have PhD. I have friends in Donetsk and Kharkov who are also PhD and completely support rebels.

That says a lot about you and your friends.

Any news on him?....is he still looking for russian troops ?

Ak74s then with RPG-7's maybe one or two ak47s but they were made by the same guy mr Kalashnikov god rest his soul

***** well he should be taught atleast something about what the ukranians are arming themselves with

Found this for ya'll :) public.bn1304.livefilestore.com/y2p2OPbwHq4HlUjYtN9wrIAXegiVGVmiJfoyQBoLpt702ybnrfiq-mHt-35U0iQg4x7aVZni1V-_V-5Rofq5kncK7g2PWVvs9OTouHfScK63pk/77d3d70b.jpg?rdrts=74220435

No? But they do it. And they do it often. Probably just searching weapon of mass destruction, I heard many Ukrainian civilians have it.

Lots of civilians support the militia though. And lots die in crossfire =[

***** Tell that to Putin next time he Art'ys an entire city into oblivion.

Preston Trotter What you talking about? War in Afganistan? That's wasn't Putin's work. So, I belive, I will never had to tell him that)

Nope. They stole it from military bases. Also lots of soldiers gave up their equipment / deserted to the pro-Russians.

Malacovics There's also lots of veterans.

grisevg Veterans don't keep their weapons after service. They *can* purchase a rifle, I think, but I can't tell since I don't know the gun laws in Ukraine.

Does a peaceful government which just took control of the country in a violent coup send army to suppress the other part of the country which does not agree with the change of the power?

wanyxspe123 Both sides are dirty as fuck. One is basically a fake government taken over by a violent neo-nazi party and the other one is an insurgent imperialistic group.

Это уже не их народ, для них это не люди совсем, их этому долго обучали в лагерях. Тем более они на ставке у олигархов, чем больше провокационных нелепых убийств, тем больше им платят(эта инфа потом идет в сми, как террористы убивают жителей, поддерживающих КИев)

how is Ukraine illegitimate, get outta here troll

you cant just call a country illegitimate, thats not how international law works, read a book

Well said, the government is illegitimate because its unelected and today they are murdering there own people because they disagree with them

***** ye keep telling yourself that, just like that putins propaganda that you soak up. Which is a lie,that you still haven't figured out. whats next Kazakstan is part of europe?

Now, now don't flatter yourself I didn't ask about your russian life story kid. And I wasnt talking to you in the first place, unless you want to prove that justfoundout is your troll sock account. -tool-.

***** Thats why I said carry man lol. Since when do regular "civillians" know how to operate/hit anything with them as well??? Russia!!!

Well in Kiev they had some pretty good snipers !

***** No it's not that simple.

Well you should know that the Anti-Kiev forces have some ex-soldiers in their troop. Just like Kiev had soldiers (Svoboda Leader for Example) participating in the Chechen Wars (against russia).

***** I'm talking about Ukraine not Syria. Regardless the US hasn't given weapons to Syrian rebels. They're being supplied by other countries and whatnot.

Calm down CoD fan.

USSR had army training in schools, around 8-9th grade. On top of that everybody was required to serve in the Army, they're trying to switch to a contract system (like one in the US) but not having much luck with it. So yeah, it's not surprising at all that all of those people know how to operate an AK, they could probably strip and clean an AK in their sleep, with one hand tied behind their backs. Regarding the weapons being "brought in", they're mostly weapons that were seized during captures of police and SBU buildings. There were news of them taking some army posts as well, which could explain the RPGs. Ukraine continues to claim that the border is secure after all. Now, I'm not defending these "kolorads" (colorado potato beetle) but at least get your facts straight before you start spewing opinions.

Well you clearly did not understand what I meant. Yes, there are multiple military training schools within Ukraine which are very much USSR styled that continue to operate today, indeed, if you dont go to higher education in Ukraine one of the common options is going to military school- i know this as I have many friends in Western Ukraine who do this. BUT, they do not teach how to use anti-tank missiles, the operation of armored vehicles and other heavy weaponry. Its really not in a states interest to educate their young population in such a way, imagine what could happen! Even so, an AK tear down is exceedingly easy, it only has like 5 working parts anyway and any idiot can look like they know what they are doing if they are pointing it in the right direction- that's why the AK has been the weapon of millions of deaths across the world. HOWEVER when I mentioned the weapons being brought in, I meant weapons to further their own political ends, for example the presence of them in the "peaceful" protests. Of course these were taken from currently standing military/police bases. If you had actually read what I said, these separatists were the first to fire shots and use them for their own ends. Until that time, the military didnt fire a single shot. Please actually attempt to read what people have said mate!

KMA Freddie No, you clearly do not understand what I mean. These people know how to operate the weapons because they were ALL trained in the use of said weapons. Everybody in the Soviet/post-Soviet army learns how to handle AKs of various modifications and models. All of the infantry, and many non-infantry, also learn how to operate AT weapons and portable AA weapons. That's what being in the army means, you learn how to fight. When every male is required to serve in the army it's no surprise that every male knows how to use weapons. Plus we haven't actually seen them use these weapons, they carry the AKs, but for all we know most of them may not even be loaded... Let me clear up my previous post further: you said "first people to bring weapons into Eastern Regions" -- they didn't BRING weapons into the area, they confiscated them and used them in the same area. Confiscated is a bit of a strong word here, they pretty much waltzed into the police buildings while armed with sticks and a few handguns, maybe a hunting rifle or two. Perhaps it would be more fair to say that they were handed these weapons, because sure as hell nobody put up much of a resistance to keep them away. "Lets be honest....its just a handful of pro-Russian gunmen who want to be part of Russia" -- is simply not true. If it were only those people then the Ukrainian "anti-terrorist operation" would've been done with them a long time ago, instead of running for nearly a month without any results. That's exactly the problem, that a significant portion of the residents are in support of the "pro-Russian" side, they're even asking to be given weapons so they could help fight off the army when it decides to finally make a stand. At this point I'm not very clear on what you're trying to say, the only part of your posts so far that made sense was "fuck Putin" but you didn't have to go and write an essay just to say two words.

KMA Freddie You got no idea of what you are saying...unlike US military that is mercenary,a lot of other countries have mandatory army training...like in my country Greece...i went to the army,i know how to operate weapons...i was in the infantry...so i only know the simple stuff...other Greeks tho go to the artillary or tanks regiments...so you can find a lot of Greeks that can operate tanks or artirelly...the same was in Ukraine till very recently...what is happening in Ukraine is civil war...plain and simple.

Oooh. That would be so good.

If only if only my friend. If only

Russia started all this shit.

Andy J You dont know nothing... this shit begin EEUU... First Study a bit after Speak...

Илья Микулич speak english pls

Isn't it obvious?The Russian forces left Ukraine,so now the Ukrainian army is free to clear the country of the pro-russians.

A bunch of seditious cunts were given the death penalty they deserved?

Mikhail Orlov People burned there.

very true.

kids and paid russian commenters, mostly. Also dumb conspiracy theorists who think everything is a CIA plot

I know your all right? typical of an American. Having the absolute truth ...

***** The right sector represents a small minority of the parliment. There is no documented slaughter of any neo nazi groups, there is evidence of pro russian separatists taking buildings and kidnapping and murdering people, and then ukranians retaliating. I comment beecause I do know shit, what you are saying is entirely lies. People are confused because of RT and the constant lies they put forth like "Neo nazis slaughtering people", yeesh, isn't that a bit much? You seriously buy that, even with ZERO conclusive evidence of people being "slaaughtered" outside of doctored shots of Odessa that don't even show that the Russians fired first and threw molotovs?

ukraine isnt part of nato. the fist thing you would see would be UN just like in Serbia.

Fuck the US

Bane Hallow So edgy.

Not gonna happen. The Ukraine government is in such disarray that all the best weapons in the world won't help them. We (USA) would be foolish and stupid to offer any weaponry at all to the Ukrainian government. Their own officers and soldiers are surrendering.

GorillaBorg Excuuuuuuuuuuuuse meeeeee! I am a fairly normal person, there is no need to call me edgy!!!

Crimeans are very happy to be with russia. None of us want to go back to Ukraine, we remember these days as a nightmare. To become a slavic state would be to ask ukrainian fascist to invade so no thank you. We democratically (cause that's the western value? do you understand that people have a right to decide for themselves?) want to be with russia. Mind your business, you can have your western Ukraine, but Novorossia is with Russia, because people want it so)

internet special forces. god i hate them. nerds.

roger that

I think I hear the flapping of white coats....

***** What are white coats? Scientists? LOL

Thank you. A lot of those guns look similar

atleast he didnt try calling the rpg-18's anything haha

haha no, Im in Brazil and here they are more aware of the crimes of the United States and if any team gets booed will be them... they suck anyways

Lucas Carranza Vélez Unfortunately people hate nazis more

north america will know its propaganda when they see soccer on tv

Knights2theEnd The nazis are the Junta in Kiev, not Russians.

Lucas Carranza Vélez stop immgrating over then and stay the fuck in your own country:)

Ak-74*

Simon Doge Referring in general to modernized AK platforms and their multiple derivative models...

Bravo Novorussia's terrorists!!!

+Peter Griffin right... terrorists! go ask to the thousands in jail if they are terrorists,, or better go ask to the disappeared. Not be capable of acknowledge the fact they are Ukrainians fighting for self determination, but especially fighting against fascism is absolutely incredible!

@@rechelmet so were millions of Ukrainians displaced . Not to mention that the DNR is braking the law

this is AK-74. You can find a lot of them in exSoviet territories

Russia won't take Ukraine. It would be disastrous for its own economy.

***** You mean like what they had before? What started the revolution?

HDaviator They will take eastern part and it will be disaster but not for Russia but for the people from Donetsk and whole eastern Ukraine, Putin will use this region for growing (as it has good soil) and it will be send to Russia with no money left here, It will be like gulag for producing cheap food for free. Pro-russians from Donetsk are so dumb. They think Putin will give them gold. Please go ahead and visit Russia, but not the center of Moscow, the villiges. You will see the glory of Putins promises. People are suffering from no job and eating cheapest food or no food at all... Sick people with no medical help, etc. etc. THINK TWICEBEFbefore you will join "big brother" becase big brother will beat up you. DON SAY I"M provoking, go there and take a look, there is not better argument.

Western and Central Ukraine, I don't think so, it seems to me that they would have a hard time there. But the east, and maybe the south, that's very possible. I think they have been preparing for this for some time.

@@IILoCoII HAHAHAHHAHA it's incredible! Everyday is a celbration for us now) Russia didn't bomb our kindergardens and beaches, Ukraine did. Not everyone in this world cares about money above all! But you will not understand, because you will sell your own fatherland, your own daughter and mother for the sweet sweet mulla, won't you? Слава России!

How would you know you lived there?

jacob skidan History is very clear about Eastern Europe during the cold war. People were trying to get the hell out of there. It's no coincidence that Eastern Europe is poorer than Western Europe. The iron curtain was not put in place to keep people out, it was put in place to keep people in. Look at East-Germany and compare it to West-Germany.

Eastern Ukraine was doing much better in Soviet times than it is now anyone from there will tell you that .

jacob skidan The majorityf the population of Eastern Ukraine voted for independence back in 1991. Three weeks after the Ukraine succeeded, the USSR collapsed. Life was no picknick back than. Did you know that millions of Ukranian people staved to death under Stalin? They call it The Holodomor. Google it. As far as I can see, the only people who want to go back to Russia are the ethnic Russians...

why do you support the western stance on foreign policy? not 50 years ago your government was branding south african blacks as terrorists. or have you forgotten that?

Haha I know right? Every corner there’s a soldier with an AK ready to go

Yeah yeah and I'm from Kiev and the east is right. Seriously though wait for the referendum and vote against if you really from the region.

Really? They don't play army, THEY ARE THE ARMY, duffuss. WP is Officer Training School. All graduate with rank of Lieutenant. watch?v=fz9tiTSib9Y (add yt url to this)

I think around 20. Last will be for complete defeat of Kiev, in Kiev.

if a world war goes on, last place your going to be worried about is ukraine.

Firstly God doesn't take side's, especially if both sides are Christian. Secondly, no offense Ukraine, but you would be like the first little piggy that gets it's house blown down.

yeah but then someone will topload the joint and all hell will break loose

Ain't that the truth!
