We knew this day would come, @CanadianUkrain1’s big reveal...his battle rifle. TLDR Yes, it’s all airsoft gear.
Let’s take a look at his loadout, piece-by-piece. Thread incoming!🧵
Let’s take a look at the rifle itself first. It’s a CYMA Standard Stamped Legal Airlift AK74 with a folding stock. We’ve included a side-by-side so you can see for yourself. You can pick one up on Amazon for $223.10.
Next we’ll take a look at that suppressor. This is an airsoft dummy suppressor. Note the number of holes. Retail price, €94.99. Next up, the optics.
For optics, CUV is using the Hidenel Red Dot Sight 3 MOA. Not particularly useful for nighttime combat. The little white square on the side is the giveaway that it’s a Hidenel, but a number of manufacturers make similar optics. $35.99 on Amazon.
Up next, the Rail System/Handguard. This is a CYMA C114 Full Metal AKS-74U Krinkov Airsoft Handguard Rail System. Grab yours for $40.95.
Needless to say, all of this gear would go very well with his airsoft replica Mk7 helmet.
Let's talk about what's going on with these magazines. The AK-74 is chambered for the 5.45×39mm cartridge and the AK-47 for the 7.62×39mm. For some reason, he's decided to tape his dummy AK-47 magazine to the AK-74. An AK-74 cannot receive an AK-47 magazine. Very silly.
And what tacticool airsoft loadout would be complete without a badass foregrip? What we've got here is the Killhouse Full-Size Airsoft and Paintball Angled Foregrip (conveniently available in Black, Olive, or Dark Earth.) $29.95.
I big shoutout to @schadenfreu_de for the assist on identifying some of these accessories and parts.
If you're interested in the rest of @canadianukrain1's props, we've made a handy thread which identifies all of his commercially purchased accessories and novelties.
@CanadianUkrain1 It appears this thread has caught the attention of @CanadianUkrain1's biggest faingirl, @LouiseMensch, who is bravely commenting from behind a block! Clearly she doesn't understand that airsoft rifles (like their real counterparts) are modular and can easily swap handguards🤣
Just in case anyone needs a referesher course in who @LouiseMensch is, she's where credibility goes to die.
It appears this thread on @CanadianUkrain1's airsoft rifle has him rattled. He's now reposting videos from Telegram and implying that it's him (he never outright says it, but we can see through the sad game he's playing.)🤣
@CanadianUkrain1 .@CanadianUkrain1 has responded to the fact that people noticed he's got magazines for two different cartridge sizes taped together. Unfortunately, magazine adapters don't magically allow rifles to accept different sized cartridges. What a clown 😂
The photo @CanadianUkrain1 recently posted offers yet more proof (as if we needed anymore) that he's a total fraud. Let's take a look. 🧵
@CanadianUkrain1 First, it's obvious that there's no armor plate in this vest. A Level III plate (the minimum you'd need to stop a 7.62-mm round) is going to be about a half an inch thick and weigh ~8 pounds (varies depending on material.) There's no outline and the vest lays flat on his chest.
Thankfully, an inquiring mind asked why there appeared to be no plate in his vest. His response was absolutely ludicrous. First the carrier he uses is a Condor brand, which does not take some custom sized plate. Second...you simply would not do this. It's ridiculous on its face.
.@CanadianUkrain1's latest photograph allows us to demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that the helmet he is wearing is an airsoft replica Mk7 helmet, and not an authentic Mk7 helmet. Let's take a ride. 🧵
While CUV has been photographed wearing his Mk7, he has since covered it with multicam fabric and burlap scrim. You can actually see the tan helmet still peeking through the makeshift covering in the photo on the right.🧵
In this new photo, we get a good look at the chin strap and fastener (Photo 1.) It's a plastic side-release buckle. An authentic Mk7 does not utilize a plastic buckle. Rather, it has a loop and button (Photo 2.) Only the airsoft replica utilizes a plastic buckle (Photo 3.) Fake.
Here's a photo of CUV with a soldier's best friend, his AK-47.
Gotcha! Of course, he doesn't have an AK-47 because they're banned in Canada. Moving on...
Now we've got his headlamp, because the best way to remain invisible during nighttime combat operations is to wear a reflective surface on your forehead. It's a Princeton Tec Byte Tactical Headlamp. It can be yours for $27.99 on Amazon.
There’s been a lot of speculation that @LouiseMensch and @CanadianUkrain1 might be working together. I doubt it. I believe she’s just a gullible fan-girl who's prone to believing and spreading hoaxes.🧵
Just like that time she claimed President Trump’s modeling agency was being investigated for sex trafficking…which she was eventually forced to acknowledge was a hoax. theguardian.com/us-news/2017/a…
Or that time she claimed that the race riots in Ferguson, MO were actually a Russian plot.
He's a brief list of some of the outrageous claims made by super-soldier @CanadianUkrain1. Mind you, many of these ALONE would be enough to dismiss him is a fraud. Let me know if I'm missing anything.🧵
He has seen combat on 4 continents.🧵
He served 7 years in IDF special ops, then 7-8 years as a PMC in Africa.
Is @CanadianUkrain1 a white supremacist? Based on some of the patches he likes to be photographed with, it's definitely a possibility. Two patches in particular stick out. First, there's this recent one he's been sporting on his plate carrier.🧵
@CanadianUkrain1 It's a Special Air Service (SAS) patch. A number of countries have SAS units, but the one one CUV wears is...Rhodesian.🧵
The second problematic patch CUV has worn was a foreign legion patch he was photographed wearing a few weeks ago.🧵
