Some fancy new gear from Lobaev going to the front , but one has to ask what kind of ammo its going to be feed , precision rifles are only as good as their ammo even more of a problem if these are .308 win

I was under the impression that there are quite a few .308 rifles in UA?

Patch on the rucksack is Russian so not a captured A-545 ,was posted days ago as case of A-545 being used by some Russian troops.
Problem with .308 for sniper use is that its meant to use heavier 172grain bullets vs infanty and MG ammo that is 150ish grain

Good catch.
Either way, cool to see the A-545 make an appearance. Seemed like a much more interesting design then the currently fielded AK-12.

Ak-12 is indeed a lame upgrade, i see they are now already readying Ak-12M1 , but its still an underwhelming 'ersatz' an AK-12M1 seems like its simplified , removing 2rd burst feature , simpled dual aperture diopter and for some reason fixed muzzle brake ? Given how many suppresors we see used in Ukraine i don't quite get why the fixed muzzle brake.
