[THREAD] #Afghanistan: This is getting, to quote Alice, curiouser and curiouser. Not only are we seeing modern Russian PG-7VR apparently in #Panjshir in multiple images, SVDS DMR can also be seen. These are another recent (1995) design that I haven't previously seen locally. 👀
A few pro NRF accounts were claiming this was "new supply" as of the beginning of 2022.
Starting to appear that an external benefactor may have managed to get some new hardware to the anti-TB fighters. And apparently they don't care about it being easily identifiable.
This image appeared in late Nov 2021 (21st), showing another SVDS pattern DMR. Whilst the NRF has quite often been a social media only force with actual activity being... unclear to say the least; I am extremely interested in the sourcing of this materiel.
More to come, I hope.
More images of NRF out in the snow with PG-7VR. Going to note here also that this doesn't appear to be the Iranian clone of the projectile and once again is in very good condition.
Another, apparently more recent image has appeared, showing what seems to be another SVDS, along with older SVD, AKs, etc. However, it seems that the PG-7VR has mainly disappeared from imagery 👀
#Afghanistan: Another image discovered a few days ago but likely from December of three clean PG-7VR with the NRF. Further confirmation of small of quantities of these potent projectiles around.
