i was reading somewhere recently they were in the process of giving them modernized small arms a couple years ago

i imagine it's been a slow process (also they need like a million guns

Yeah the image didn't have any context and it was in a Yemen solidarity post. I assume these are mobilized people's defense units of some sort and pretty low on the priority list for getting fresh arms. It is still a cool pic and people kind of meme on the Mosin so I thought to share. Someone in the news mega posted a nakedcapitalism article about Colombia threatening to move away from US-supplied armaments, I don't know much more than what I learn here but it'll be interesting to see how that shakes out.

Its said that WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones. But that's wrong. There will be Mosin-Nagants.

NATOpedia lists 7.62x54R as entering service in 1891, so that doesn't sound too far fetched.

Heh I just saw this, yeah 1.004M needed indeed. I think that is an HOI4 mod? The days when a game could latch me in feel passed but that does look fun.

yeah the Fire Rises mod. alt history 2020 where covid is 10x nastier and Bin Salman doesn't successfully purge the court and plunges Saudi Arabia into monarchial civil war right at the height
