Downright romantic, they are.
[Regnum] Photos of Ukrainian army personnel using Maxim machine guns of the 1910 model in the war zone have appeared on the Internet. Business Insider wrote about this on November 27.
“New photos show a pair of machine guns mounted on a pickup truck, and video shows Ukrainians firing them at what are likely Russian drones,” the post said.
It is noted that this fact is an example of how the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to use weapons on the line of combat contact that were developed more than a century ago.
The Maxim system machine gun was first introduced several years before the start of the First World War and was used, among other things, by the Russian Imperial Army, the authors of the article recalled.
As Regnum reported, on November 20, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said that the United States does not have weapons that could become a “magic wand” for Ukraine in a conflict with Russia. According to him, Kyiv's results in the combat zone depend on the army's ability to synchronize the use of various Western weapons provided.
Ukrainian Armed Forces Major Viktor Kisil said on November 19 that the Ukrainian army was faced with a critical shortage of personnel. He noted that if the conflict continues, none of the residents of Ukraine will be able to avoid being drafted into the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
