    >The Israeli military has reportedly discovered Russian weaponry, including small arms, rockets, and various munitions, in a Hezbollah bunker

    >The Israeli forces reportedly found rockets, mortar shells, Kalashnikov rifles, magazines, and bulletproof vests among other equipment

    In recent times, whenever there’s “evil,” Russia is always involved.

  2. Most likely source here is not official support, but corrupt logistics personnel in Syria selling off extra munitions to boost their own salaries.

  3. I wouldn’t be surprised at them having Russian weapons but the only models the article specifically mentions are Kalashnikov rifles. I would like to know specifics. How modern are the models, could they be knockoffs, what are the most advanced weapons they have.

    I wonder if Russia’s like “Man, we could have used all those weapons in Ukraine. We shouldn’t have given them to those baddies.”

    It’s strange to not read this on Axios, NYTimes, Reuters, etc. But then again, it’s also strange to read so much coverage on the war and not see the word “Hamas” or “Hezbollah” even mentioned in those same articles.

    To be fair, didn’t Russia have like a billion arms just sitting around after the collapse of the Soviet Union? You can find AKs and other old Russian equipment in almost every corner of the world because black market gun dealers sold them cheap to anyone who wanted them. Now if it was NEW Russian weapons, that might be a different issue.

  7. dude Kalashnikov rifles are the most produced rifles ever, finding one in middle east is hardly any news, Hezbollah and Hamas also use a lot of m16s, doesn’t mean US is actively supplying them

  8. Russia armed every any of Israel since the 50’s, the fact that the Israeli leadership is afraid to take a stance against Russia and work with Ukraine is an embarrassment.
