Silly Critter
What is the price for a fighter who does not read InformNapalm? Not much! The fighter of course considers himself very clever. Meanwhile, the device that he holds in his hands has already been discussed by us. But we will be glad to repeat the lesson. It is a Russian machine gun 5.45mm RPK-74M (РПК-74М/ВПО-201) (export version that never made it abroad). After this picture, there is no need to see the rest of the video.
Voentorg, or Military Supply Store
When terrorists use word “Voentorg”, they cannot imagine how right they are! In the USSR, Voyentorg had never been a chain of retail military goods stores for civilians. The system was created to provide the Soviet Army personnel with accessories necessary for military service. Since then, only the name of the army has changed (from Soviet to Russian), but everything else remained the same. From the time of the USSR, the range of services provided by Voentorg were expanded. Now the list of available supplies also includes weapons, and the delivery location can be beyond Russia, e.g. Ukraine.
Thus, using appropriate terminology, the following photo can be described as: “Russian Voyentorg provides a Russian soldier serving in eastern Ukraine with thermobaric (TBG-7V) and fragmentation (OG-7V) ammunition for RPG-7 (anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade launcher) bypassing international laws”. All of this was shown on a Russian TV channel. We cannot distrust Russian TV, can we?
A Little Bit of Info on Automatic Grenade Launcher (AGS)
One of the types of easiest to find weapons on the Ukrainian army supply bases is an automatic grenade launcher. Given the fact that in the USSR AGSs have been in use since 1968, Ukrainian military supply bases should be overflowing with these automatic destruction systems. Nevertheless, Russian “geniuses” have found nothing better to do than to bring an AGS-17 launcher model year 1995 shown above from Russia. There could have been two possible explanations for this: either all of them are not very smart, or no Ukrainian military supply bases have ever been captured by the terrorists. Though, the correct answer should be obvious. Russian army personnel (even on contract) must fight with their government-issued weapons, even in Ukraine.
Assault Rifle AS Val

If you are getting bored reading all of this, we would like to introduce a very recent example of “humanitarian aid” from the “mainland” to the coffers of “New Russia”. A group of 5-6 people, wearing camouflage, had nothing better to do than to stroll through Luhansk displaying their weapons.
The special automatic rifle AS Val was designed by TsNIITochMash (Central Institute for Precision Machine Building) in Klimovsk, Moscow Oblast, Russia, for Russian Spetsnaz special forces, MVD, FSB, and select units of the Russian Army. Cartridges are manufactured in Klimovsk and Tula, Russia. Previously, in the area of conflict, only a sniper rifle named VSS Vintorez, the “older brother” of the assault rifle AS Val, has been noticed in the hands of Russian soldiers.
So, whom have we seen in this film from Luhansk? No doubt, they are the “dementors” that came to impose the power of the Kremlin and major general Kuzovlev with silencer equipped AS Val’s.
Dear separatists! It is not Russia that has come to towns and villages of Luhansk Oblast. It is the Kremlin that has come for your souls.
