Contrary to what many in this country believe, Mosin-Nagant sniper rifles are not regular Mosins with a scope added on. They were made in specialized machine shops, using different machining tools and methods. Made to different tolerances and had to pass an accuracy test.

That said, they are not comparable to modern sniper rifles. They are still being used, because they are light weight and simple.

did the Viet Cong have Mosins and shot down US air craft back then with them .. ?

Gotcha. But, what military might does the UK have to go up against Russia unilaterally?

Great Britain has plenty of their own problems. Scotland wants to secede from United Kingdom and pushing for referendum. Scottish politicians are unhappy about all the spending on Ukraine, among other issues.

Highly unlikely. Boris resigned for stupid reasons based on his own arrogance and the pettiness that drives most western world politics these days.

NUKES!

UK has a sufficient air force to do a lot of damage to Russia without committing ground troops.

Even a single F35 squadron running SEAD in Ukraine would then allow the Ukranians to use their MIGs much more aggressively in a ground attack role.

It would be devastating for the Russians.



Russia basically can't do anything to the UK *except* nukes.

"Oil-rich Kazhakstan has been offering Russian tennis players support for the past decade. ...tennis circuit players get a Kazhak passport and are required to represent the country at international events.

The 6’ 1” Russian tennis ace Elena Rybakina took advantage of Kazhakstan’s generosity in 2018 and currently plays under their flag. There’s just one problem for the All England Tennis dorks…Rybakina was born in Moscow and still lives in Moscow. She is as much Russian, as the top Russian players who were banned from Wimbledon. Her mere presence in this year’s women’s final made things a bit…uncomfortable for the western brainwashed masses."

I love it when brain-dead and virtue-signaling leftist morons have their noses rubbed in their hypocrisy, good and hard.
