This video explores the Fort-221, a Ukrainian-produced variant of the Israeli Tavor TAR rifle. RPC Fort obtained a license from IMI in 2008 to manufacture several Israeli firearms, including the Tavor TAR (designated Fort-221) and Tavor X95 (Fort-224). Production was reportedly small, intended for Ukrainian special forces and internal security units. The video notes that licensed IMI products were removed from Fort's website in 2021. It's speculated that initial production involved importing Israeli firearms and remarking them, with full local production contingent on significant orders that never materialized. The presenter found no physical differences between the Fort-221 and a standard IMI TAR, apart from the markings. The video also thanks the IRCGN for access to film the rifle.
This video features an interview with Neil Vermillion, a US Army veteran who volunteered as a fighter and trainer in Iraq, Kurdistan, and Ukraine. He discusses his experiences with Sons of Liberty International, covering motivations, encountered firearms (including comparisons of DShK, AMRs, Barrett, and M2HB), training effectiveness of Kurdish and Ukrainian forces, and the practicality of various gear. The conversation touches on the challenges of foreign service, logistical differences, and even highlights tourist spots in northern Iraq, while also acknowledging some explicit language.
This video analyzes the Ukrainian DShK as an infantry support weapon. It references combat zone photos from 2017 and footage from US DoD training exercises in September 2017 and February 2018. The description also provides links to two other videos showcasing the DShK's use against enemy positions at 800m and 1200m, highlighting its long-range capabilities. The content is presented through Forgotten Weapons, suggesting an in-depth look at the firearm's history, design, and operational use.
This video showcases a Ukrainian workshop's adaptation of PKT machine guns for infantry use. The PKT, typically found in armored vehicles, lacks a pistol grip and shoulder stock, utilizing a solenoid trigger. The mechanics in Ukraine are modifying these receivers by adding these components and a bipod, essentially converting them to a standard infantry configuration. The description notes a similar practice occurred in the US historically due to the greater availability of PKT parts kits compared to standard PK/PKM kits. This process highlights innovative gunsmithing and the repurposing of existing military hardware.
