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.

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.

.@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.🧵

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...

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…

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.🧵

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.🧵

Alright, I couldn't prove it till now, but @CanadianUkrain1 is most definitely using replica AK-47 magazines. There are two features of the magazine that give it away, the rib pattern and the ridge in the back. Let me explain.🧵 AK-47s have unique rib patterns on them, depending on the nation in which they were produced. There's a pretty good guide to these patterns on . I've posted a photo below. In particular, pay attention to the horizontal ribs at the bottom of the magazine.🧵 thinlineweapons.com
