This is A photo From Servastipol the men seen walking presumably Russian troops and pro Russian locals. The men Against the wall? Maybe Ukrainain Navy this was Yahoo news and I think the story was about the take over of the Ukranian base.
anyway note the guy stopping the car. that is what I expect of a pro russian militia member, he is wearing tan gear with a Hodge podge of equipment the weapon is a locally produced AR15 called a Zbroyar, it's been set up as a Designated marksmen rifle. wiht a Scope, Bipod and Suppressor. the magazine is a American made Magpul 20 rounder with ranger plate and the Stock looks like a Magpul MOE.
These guys are real locals they are wearing what every they can scrounge packing either local arms or weapons the Russians Don't mind loosing. When we first saw unmarked guys on the ground they had the latest Red army kit. no way would the Russians give that out, Full Russian Uniform, late production AK74M with Rail accessories, Pecheneg MG's. way to new way to many Rubles in gear.
But wood stock AKMS, A local weapon, miss matched camo and gear. that's a Militia.
