Here Are All The Russian Weapons Separatists Are Using In Ukraine

Since the conflict in eastern Ukraine began last spring, the separatists have become increasingly well equipped and capable of resisting the Ukrainian military. Some of the supplies the separatists use have been captured or looted from governmental personnel.

However, a number of pictures prove that the separatists are armed with Russian weapons that have extremely rarely, if ever, been exported outside of Russia.

The Armament Research Services has released their third report on the arms and munitions being used by both the Ukrainian government and the rebels in the ongoing conflict. Complete with photographic evidence, it is clear that Moscow has been covertly supplying an assortment of older Soviet weaponry along with recently introduced Russian equipment to the separatists.
