lol it's literally that

quote:

Chinese companies, including one connected to the government in Beijing, have sent Russian entities 1,000 assault rifles and other equipment that could be used for military purposes, including drone parts and body armor, according to trade and customs data obtained by POLITICO.

The shipments took place between June and December 2022, according to the data provided by Import Genius, a customs data aggregator.

gosh 1000 rifles over 6 months!?!?

I hope we finally get some decent overview of that QBZ191 but it's most likely going to just be a few hundred SKS or AKs they had in some warehouse somewhere

That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.
Those rifles are reported as being Norinco CQ-As, an M4A1 clone, having a barrel way too short to be legal in Russia for civilian ownership. It's a military or law enforcement carbine.

im gonna be honest the fact that russias economy is going to be fine while england doesnt have vegetables anymore is genuinely insane to me and i wouldve never expected it. i genuinely think the weat thought that russia would return to gorbachev breadlines from this war.

The West (tm) definitely thought that because their mindset was that it's still 1996.
