Ukrainian defenders shared footage of the unsuccessful “meat assault” of their positions by Russian occupiers. As a result of this attack, 30 enemy heads were eliminated. But the most interesting thing is that one of the destroyed attack aircraft had a Mosin rifle, which had been in service with the “grandfathers” since 1891. "Mosinka" was in service with the Russian army during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, the First and Second World Wars.
The Russian Armed Forces are using weapons that really have no analogues in the world now.

I mean, it’s a scoped rifle, it’s fine, not everything has to be an AK-74 with a bunch of mods on it to serve a purpose.
Russia is getting weak day by day
I pity the one and only mosin-nagant lying in the open there….a valuable thing to be treasured, lets not talk about the littering pigs out there too, they deserved it..
The Mosin carrier might be from Luhansk or Donetsk. Their militias weren’t exactly given the latest kit.
>One out of two gets rifle. The one with the rifle shoots, the one without, follows him!
When the one with the rifle gets killed, the one who is following picks up the rifle and shoots!
If you didn’t know that rifle was invented 130 years ago
Over a loud speaker the Ukes heard “you are fighting for your mother land, each man will carry one rifle the other bullets, when the man carrying the rifle falls, the man with the bullets picks up the rifle and shoots” Slava Ukraine
TBH the Mosin Nagant is actually a half decent rifle for these conditions – high accuracy at long range across the steppe. Still embarrassing though!
I said it once and I’ll say it again, that things belongs to a museum and not the battlefield. Only purpose it should still serve as would be a hunting rifle at the most, that’s it. It has a horribly inaccurate MOA, obsolete max effective range, and kicks like a mule. Dudes out here larping like Lyudmilla Pavlechenko in Sevastapol but really they’re Beavis and Butthead.
Also, this was a country preparing for WW3 with America and the West. You’re telling me they’re unable to find a few Dragunov’s laying around in some old warehouse? At least that’s a considerable upgrade compared to this old piece of shit.
Does it matter what weapons you give them when all of them have the same end.
Looks like they were successful and now taking a nap?
Did you say the Mosin has no analogue in the world? What? It’s a bolt action rifle. Have you heard of the Remington 700?
Again, as much as one wants it to be that way: russia will not lose because of lack of modern rifles, and does not have one. The Mosin is, furthermore, an ok designated marksman rifle. This is wishful thinking – when Ukraine engineers some makeshift firing station out of old Maxims, everyone cheers ingenuity. This being said, congrats on the great defense work.
Thats not a mosin nagant thats a SVT 40 designed in 1938 predecessor to the SVD.
You can see the magazine + the position of the SCOPE, the mosin nagant is bolt fed and that scope is too far back for the operator to move the bolt all scopes on the mosin nagant are positioned infront of the reciever/bolt the SVT 40 has it like this behind the reciever.
Soviet system disdains human lives.
Russians back to “one man gets a rifle the other gets ammo. If the man with the rifle dies the one with the ammo takes up the rifle and moves forward.”
Controversial take, it’s actually not even a good 130 year old bolt action.
I remember seeing piles of those at the local gun show. They were selling for $100. What next? Spears and arrows?
Moving Nagant as used by the White Dearh. Simon Häyhä “The Sniper ” Finlands Winter War Hero. Credited with over 500 kills.
What to me makes him and his weapon special the Winter War lasted only three months, one week and six days. A prolific killer and ruzzia is having to issue these old rifles today!.
1 mosin nagant between 7. Seems about right.
ruZZian? More like Fred Karno’s army.
Compleat success from all accounts by Orc bloggers…..
Dude is cosplaying like he’s in Day Z….
Mosin was outdated garbage back in WW2. Amazing someone would be using in on the same battlefield as AKs, ARs, FN Scars, CZ Bren II, etc etc.
Most likely a LPR or DPR unit. They have been quit the last year however and have suffered huge losses
Love my Mosin. Bought as USSR surplus. Got the bayonet with it too!
great rifle on cod2, lovely sound.
Playing w/ Battlefield 1 Weapons in Battlefield 2042
Collector rifle. Classy !
That’s interesting they’re back to handing out the Mosins. When things kicked off the LPR and DPR militants were being given those weapons and their casualty rates shot through the roof when they were sent on suicide charges. You didn’t really see Wagner or Storm Z troops running into assaults with those so supplies in small arms must be getting short if they’re not even sending the meat waves in with automatic weapons uniformly.
Even if they’re getting supplies from North Korea chances are they’re getting old Chinese supplies that probably aren’t panning out for them.
They have been kamasutrated the Hell out by drones.
Hardcore Tarkov-Gamer – new wipe is just around the corner
Watch closely as the Untrained Ork dislocates his shoulder upon firing his first shot…
Just FWIW: I have several friends who own Mosin Nagants. I’ve shot those rifles many times. While it is old, it’s still a powerful rifle, though obviously the bolt action rifle isn’t going to break any ROF records. It can absolutely still kill and can even penetrate some levels of armor with the 7.62 rounds it fires.
Aww man that’s a PU scope on it.
Shits pretty collectible.
Ranged fire, I bet that mosin is just as good as any modern rifle out there! but for an assault.. yeah you want lead down range, not accuracy.
Well one of them was at least armed with a proper rifle.
Where in the pic is the old rifle?
