Oh boy would i like a closet full of AK12’s and PKP machine guns, throw in a few AS VAl’s and SVD’s too… ahh now im just day dreaming again.
You’d probably also end up with a closet full of felony arrest warrants.
I hear they also have an extensive bio-weapon collection.
Who knows half of what they have. To put it mildly if people thought Mexico had the crap that is likely in Ukraine then most people would support invading them too.
Ehhh, we KNOW China has petri dishes stacked all over and no one is rushing to invade them, are they?
There are 1.4 billion reasons plus nukes why we’re not.
But, heck, the US paid for a big stack of those petri dishes.
“Pathogens!, Get your container Fresh Pathogens right here! Special friend sale just for you!”
yelled the Ukrainian salesperson.
Manse,
THAT made me laugh!
Hard to say what they have. Remember the Soviet Union controlled Ukraine for a long time and had nukes there. The possibility of a bio lab is not far fetched.
However, just like we own firearms, the possession of a bio lab is not inherently evil. With Countries like Russia, China, NK and Iran, not studying biological weapons is malpractice.
Look up “Rebirth Island”. It used to be an island in the Caspian Sea. You can now drive a truck there.
Vozrozhdeniya Island. Rebirth Island was an island in the Aral Sea. The former island’s territory is split between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. In 1954, the Soviet Union constructed a biological weapons test site called Aralsk-7 there and on the neighbouring Komsomolskiy Island, which also no longer exists.
It’s not old soviet biolabs that are a concern. it’s current U.S. funded biolabs that worry us. And apparently Ukraine had a bunch.
“And apparently Ukraine had a bunch“
Source or citation for your claim, thanks!
The source for that is testimony from Assistant Secretary of State Nulan, to Congress, in public.
Hmm… Aren’t the Ruskies shooting the AK-74 now?
This one reminds me of the cop at the window of the car with the quotes “I swear it’s medicinal officer” “we’ll first of all… That’s a machine gun”. If only my vices were useful enough to be “legal” in certain states.
“Well… It’s a good thing you didn’t catch me when I was driving *really* fast…”
I doubt the Ukraine is exporting anything. Especially weapons. Would you?
Maybe after the war there will be a fire sale. I would buy one of those BTR’s driven across the border once and abandoned in the mud for a nice discount.
Define “discount”?
You’ve been able to buy them for years for < $20,000. Price varies by model.
Generally, it's been like trying to buy an old Soviet GAZ-66 in that the shipping's the killer. To this day I still think I should have bought the one my neighbor had in Costa Rica, primo condition for ~$1000, shipping be damned.
A discount, maybe 10% off the cost to get the Russian stench out of it? 90% if there are AT holes in it.
I don’t know, even Bugati is starting to list mpg in their ads now…
Cue walter beverly the third from Gilligans Island now to call me a liar and point out how no one shopping for a Bugatti would be concerned about mileage 🙄.
“90% if there are AT holes in it.”
LOL! Also, fair.
Ukraine says Russia is their second biggest biggest supplier.
And Ukrainian farmers are projected to have the fifth best equipped armored brigades.
No thanks on the armored vehicles. Too expensive to feed and spare parts from Russia would be a bitch. As for the AK’s or other weapons, perhaps, if the prices were right.
Although I wouldn’t turn down a few cases of ammo and maybe some of the explosives or RPG’s. Have a couple big oak stumps I would like to remove. Trees that blew down during hurricane Sally.
C’mon man – the spare parts would come from China.
Those diesel Mine Resistant vehicles look nice. High quality diesel, NBCW climate control, bullet resistant windows, that would be great to take camping.
I hear you can get the tires cheap from China.
The Ukrainians’ APC’s are Ford products.
I like it very much!
“The Novator APC is based on a Ford F-550 4×4 chassis and measures 6.4m-long, 2.35m-wide, and 2.38m-high. It has a wheelbase of 3.6m and offers a ground clearance of 300mm…”=11.81102 Inches clearance

Heck, might get better gas millage than my 4Runner..lol
The 4 wheel one here looks reasonable to own. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_(AFV_family)
Where do I sign!!!!
I’m still waiting on the cargo ship from Afghanistan. I wanted surplus NODs.
They are still having difficulty installing the wheels on the ship in Pakistan.
Forget those pieces of trash, what do you think is going to happen to all the leftover antitank and manpads when this is over? Did you think these stay at home globalists thought thru all the unintended consequences?! These are the same people that unleashed covid…
Left over manpads?
These seem to be flying fast and furious about now.
I remember when The Wall fell, and the Pact forces in East Germany were orphaned from their supply chains and frankly starving.
Grenades $5 each, AK’s for $50, is that T72 for sale comrade? Sure it is, for hard currency…
The flea markets at the Brandenburg gate back in ‘90 were amazing, lots of NOD and other electronics.
“You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.”
There are plenty of Ukrainian AK47’s to be had as well, perhaps even some unused MANPADS that went missing in the fog of war.
What ever floats your boat.
Water.
Are the rising water levels really from Global Climate Melting™? Maybe it’s all them gunms being lost overboard?
Forget AK from Ukraine, buy good lightly used gear from Afghan Surplus you want M4 he will sell you two dozen cheap, since he got them cheap and needs to make just a bit of profit for his cousin who liberated them from storage. You need ammo, unlike the store down the street he has plenty of that too. You already paid for it once with your tax dollars….
I got bad news for you. When this is over, Russia will own all of Ukraine’s beach front property. Maybe you should take a plane to Warsaw to load up with Ukrainian weapons after Putin compels them to disarm.
I’d say it’s a race to see if Putin takes a bullet before Russia bleeds out.
The west is pumping bigger and better AA while Russian inventory of heavy missiles runs out.
Earlier it was “obvious “ Russia was going to blitz in 3 days, now it’s a race to see if Ukraine will tolerate 1 million dead before Russian military begins to refuse Grosny orders as they fear Russia will need to pay reparations.
Let’s see where this goes.
LOL. That’s Hell-a funny.
