Ukrainian weapons and silencers not only Eastern block

The Ukrainian President POROSJEKO looks true a scope of a Sniperrifle, during an inspection of a army base north of Kiev.
The Ukrainian army is making progress in their move towards the East, As sources in Kiev say to drive the Separatists from the crash site so that it can be inspected without being hindered.

Due to the size of the magazine I would say its a 50 cal.

Stock: Strike dual 50 (MK15Sniper or Tac-50 action)
Silencer: B&T 50BMG - MB and locking system is a copy of the AAC 50BMG.
Action??

[Historian]

Thank you, Gunny50, for this interesting information. It
made me think about my having seen a four part series on
cable on WW I and the technologies spawned from the slaughter
fields of trench warfare, progressing to the mobile speeds
of WW II, to the molasses morass of SEA, to the small teams
with force multiplier weapons of our heros of today.

Each technology arose as a solution to a problem that the past could not
address. Thinking about the Ukraine incursions by the thuggish Putin
and the supine non-response by the incompetent, reminiscent of the
French military staff in WW I sitting in the chateaus while directing mass
annihilation of their men, what new mode could be introduced by the Ukrainians
that would break through the Russian 'trenches'?

The .50 rifle image and the stalemate jockeying suddenly suggested an example of a new
'George Lucas' line: using armadas of $600.00 drones with small advanced repeating 'Braverman Stingers'
in massed groups to go directly after the Russian artillery battery operators.

They are almost as cheap as the .50 rounds and rifles. As hard to stop as trying to swat mosquitoes
at a sundown cook out, and scalpel like targeting.

This excursion into weapons fantasy is but a hint of what the next revolution in a small nation's
force multiplication of limited resources could be against a big-bear invasion.

Forgive me for 'droning on' but as was said after the South Asia 'unpleasantness' of the 1960's,
the military seems to always be fighting the next war with the mind set of the previous one.

If anyone can leap frog to the next generation of tools I would bet on the IDF and their brain
trusts. Imagine a 'hive' of small drones tossed into the Gaza tunnels. The Mad Comic imagery is
heady.

It would be interesting to know who supplied the weapons system.I shot the 50 in my youth it was quite the thumper. It looks like the guy behind JEKO is there to catch him.

in most countries B&T goes direct.
Might be that they also supplied the guns.

I really want to know who gets the core sample the scope will punch out.

Like Bill Clinton's photo op looking through binoculars ... which still had caps on.
Imagining playing with his harMONICA

+1 for his finger being outside the trigger guard though.
