Imagine what they will be selling after the war, with how their arms production sector has grown.

[u/567432Gains → u/-rifle-is-fine-]

Honestly that’s going to be a hell of a powerhouse once the wars over (assuming they win) because everyone is re-arming and they are making bullets and drones like crazy and they are lined up to supply and share new age battle knowledge. Imagine the value of having a battle hardened Ukrainian instructor that’s actually seen modern 1st world vs 1st world conflict.

[u/SpectreBallistics → u/567432Gains]

Realistically their industry will shrink after the war as domestic procurement shrinks. They will need to shift to export markets which will be smaller.

[u/-rifle-is-fine- → u/567432Gains]

We will be trained by them, and we will be purchasing their weapons.

[u/BaZukaM → u/-rifle-is-fine-]

Purchasing? I think they owe us after all the donations they've received from us.

[u/-rifle-is-fine- → u/BaZukaM]

Nope. A lot of that money is from seized Russian assets and is only appropriate to give to them. And they are fighting Russia for the rest of us. We owe them.

I hope you and people who think like you continue to live completely ignorant to how priviledged we are to not have to fight for our freedom.

[u/BaZukaM → u/-rifle-is-fine-]

Almost $26 billion to Ukraine from Canada. I guess it's only Russian seized assets (which amounts to roughly $9 billion btw).

Volhynia Massacre. Ukraine has a lot to pay for.

[u/-rifle-is-fine- → u/BaZukaM]

Nah they have fuck all pay for. Enjoy your freedom you did nothing for and have a great day! ❤️🇨🇦🇺🇦

[u/DougMacRay617 → u/-rifle-is-fine-]

We will be trained by them,

Yeah no chance bud

[u/yenmeng → u/DougMacRay617]

They are heads and shoulders above our guys in terms of experience, especially in terms of drone warfare

[u/DougMacRay617 → u/yenmeng]

Whos gonna train us? The civilians they keep kidnapping off the streets?

[u/CanadianTravis2626 → u/DougMacRay617]

No, likely some guy from Kharkiv that has been droning hundereds of Russians for the past 4 years, after the Russians INVADED.

[u/LumberjackCDN → u/DougMacRay617]

Eh i wouldnt be so sure, theyre already doing training excersizes with NATO (see the US armour brigade getting absolutely molly womped by one of their drone regiments in May of this year).

[u/DougMacRay617 → u/LumberjackCDN]

Yeah i mean drove V tanks is a pretty predictable outcome. Im just wondering who exactly is going to be training us? The civilians they are dragging off the streets or the corrupt officals running the show.

[u/Velosity79 → u/567432Gains]

"aSsUmInG tHeY wIN”

The fact anyone here can’t see how impossible that is, is a testament of the firearm community lack of intelligence in Canada.

[u/567432Gains → u/Velosity79]

Dude, just trying to be optimistic. No need to get so into it.

[u/f1vepointoh → u/Velosity79]

This... all ukraine is doing is hoping russias money supply dwindles to the point where they stop advancing.... if russia were to get some kind of financial alliance like ukraine has gathered from the western world in return for something like mineral rights, land, or cheaper oil prices ukraine could have every dollar from the first worlds disposal and it still wouldnt help. Russia has 130 million people and ukraine has what 30 million left? At some point the first world voters will get fatigued by the endless aid going to ukraine and it will slowly dwindle. I must say ukraine is doing a good job at holding russia back but they are kidnapping men on the streets and forcing them to the front lines... for what? Losing their life for a losing war? Now maybe id think differently if russia was actively also trying to take poland or germany then it becomes a nato issue but reality is kyiv and much of ukraine has historic value to russia which is likely why they havent turned it into rubble right now and want to preserve the land. I know its a bad comparison but it would be pretty much the same deal as canada trying to join an alliance with an enemy of the usa... would you expect usa to sit back and watch their borders be lined with an enemy military? Probably not if i had to guess does that justify russia.. no but russia didnt get that big because they liked knitting lol. Tail as old as time eat or be eaten. Ukraine isnt eating anybody and tried to join an enemy alliance to russia... how could they possibly thought that was a good idea?

[u/blyatboy → u/f1vepointoh]

"guys I'm RT pilled and here's my unique take on the war"

[u/f1vepointoh → u/blyatboy]

Its not unique at all ive been following along with the war for a while by mulitple different sources. As for the "rt pill" i have never heard of that reference. If you are talking about "red pill" i have no idea what that has to do with the war 

[u/Iokua_CDN → u/-rifle-is-fine-]

I can't wait, I hope they offload a ton of 308 and 7.62 x39!!!!

[u/Embarrassed-Egg-9671 → u/-rifle-is-fine-]

LCW doesn't exist anymore it was captured by Russia in 2014.

[u/Corporal_Canada]

Where can you find Ukrainian ammo?

[u/gimmedatneck → u/Corporal_Canada]

I'd love to know as well! Friggin sick.

[u/BrickLegal → u/Corporal_Canada]

The lacquer on this shit will gum up your pistols chamber. Steel + lacquer is a hard pass for pistols.

[u/Armedfist]

Those were good ammo. They also made the 7.62x39

[u/tghost474]

New steel case?

[u/Murray3-Dvideos]

LCW non corrosive 7.62x39 HP's for only 25 cents a pop..... those were the days. Thanks for taking that away from us Putin.

[u/f1vepointoh → u/Murray3-Dvideos]

That wasnt putins choice that was sanctions on russia put on by the west. I miss my barnaul ammo that shit was hype and very well priced. Could shoot 308/223/x39 all day and not make your bank account cry.

[u/Murray3-Dvideos → u/f1vepointoh]

LCW was manufactured in Ukraine. The rumor I heard is that when the 2014 hostilities broke out, Russian rebels conquered and dismantled the factory, sending the machinery back to Russia.

[u/f1vepointoh → u/Murray3-Dvideos]

That i know nothing about admittedly. I was refering to cheap russian ammo and commie stock piles that the canadian market used to love. However im starting to notice a bunch of newer brands pop up like rifle line from serbia. Ive also notice sellior & bellot getting cheaper and 10 years ago they were an were a moderately expensive brand. Im rubbing my hands together when this war is over its gunna be a good time for gun owners across the world to stock up and wait for the next conflict lol. I miss cheap 7.62x54r thats harder to come by now 

[u/OwnedByIRVING]

Wait, is LCW back? I haven't seen them since like 2014. (crimea invasion)

[u/Imaginary-Text4690]

That Glock 19 Canada edition slide such a unicorn I’d pay so much for that in the USA. That would just be tough as hell on a build

[u/BrotherLefthand]

See? We need handguns and PCCs back pn the market so we can support Ukraine with free market solutions.

Isn't Carney all about market solutions?

[u/Khmerog1]

Sweet you are going to help defend Ukraine? Good for you!

[u/Brandon_awarea]

When the war ends Ukraine will be one of the first countries country I visit in Europe. Chernobyl is a site I’ve always wanted to visit but the arms museums they could put together would be insane. All those donations from all over the world. Not to mention the domestically produced stuff too. That and the stupid amount of captured Russian arms.

Fuck the Russian Federation.

[u/emeric1414 → u/Brandon_awarea]

I really wanted to go to Chernobyl too, but with the various mines left around and big military presence, I don't think it's going to reopen anytime soon even after the war ends

[u/-rifle-is-fine- → u/Brandon_awarea]

You can travel relatively safely through much of Ukraine. A lot of horrible shit happened there in the last century and the museums are incredible.

[u/Brandon_awarea → u/-rifle-is-fine-]

The prospect of being hit by a Shahed drone because Ukraine is running out of Patriots isn’t super enticing. Not to mention getting travel insurance is probably near impossible (to be fair I haven’t checked so I could be wrong).

[u/-rifle-is-fine- → u/Brandon_awarea]

$200 CAD for several mil in insurance for a month.

They don't bother with Shaheds much anymore because Ukraine got good at shooting then down.

Patriots are for taking out ballistic missiles, not drones. The orcs are going straight to missiles most nights but are actually targeting commercial and industrial sites more than apartments. Apartments just get hit with debris from the explosions.

You're good to hang out in the Western parts. 🤷

[u/romayama → u/Brandon_awarea]

Will need to get Russian or Polish Visa, depending which half you will want to visit

[u/Some-Owl8102]

i have good memories of that ammo, it was so cheap prior to the crimea thing

[u/Bambam4040]

What pistol is that I see a Canadian flag on it?

[u/BrickLegal → u/Bambam4040]

G19 gen 4, some of them back in the day had the Canadian compliant barrel on them and the flag laser etched in.

[u/Embarrassed-Egg-9671]

The war isn't ending any time soon. It's just starting here in Canada.

[u/dekanov]

Guys, sorry to disappoint you, but Lugansk factory is not in Ukraine anymore. Rumor says that the production lines were of French origin and they are now working somewhere in Tula.
The population has decreased more than twice since 1991 and depopulation is going on. Rest of the factories which were not shit upon by independed Ukraine are stomped by Russians in 24/7 manner..
Ukraine now has a very limited production and as for the frontline drones it is mainly decetralized assembly workshops, some in the basements of the inhabited residential buildiungs. As you noticed Russians do not destroy residential areas intentionally, hence this principle is prevalent in industrial antiarcraft defence since 2022.
Ukrainan sea trade is effectively dead --> no industrial scale transportation is possible.
I will be suprised if at the end of it all Ukraine will be a country, let alone producing something valuable. Though you will get Ukrainan instructors in any case.
P.S. My poor homeland was already reduced to shithole and it's going on and on....

[u/Armedfist → u/dekanov]

Bs about ruzzians not targeting civilians. They do that every freaking day
