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.
Mosin nagant 91/30 except it's 91/(20)30 modernized.
