CENTCOM: The U.S transferred over 5,000 AK-47s, machine guns, sniper rifles, RPG-7s and over 500,000 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition to the Ukrainian armed forces. The munitions were being transferred from the IRGC to the Houthis in Yemen in violation of the United Nations Security Council Resolution
U.S. Government Transfers Captured Weapons
On Apr. 4, 2024, the U.S. government transferred over 5,000 AK-47s, machine guns, sniper rifles, RPG-7s and over 500,000 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition to the Ukrainian armed forces. This constitutes enough materiel to equip one UKR BDE… pic.twitter.com/Ydecq6OFAo

Should of sent it back to Iran, to some resistance groups
That’s great, but 500,000 rounds of 7.62 is probably gone in 2 days in Ukraine :/
USA flexing they gave some trash to Ukraine.
Afak Bulgaria sent like 30k ak-47s
USA you either send something of value or admit you love putin
Why couldn’t they have said that they found some F-16s in that shipment too? “Wow, we were really surprised to find 200 Bradley IFVs, 200 GLCM Tomahawks and 500,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition in that Iranian shipment. But we’re going to turn it over to the Ukrainians anyways.”
Some of those AK’s have an unusual charging handle, that reminds me of a semi-circular door handle. They appear to fit over the existing standard metal handle. Maybe for gloved use? See the first (closest) row, gun 7, and second row, guns 3 and 4.
So a win/win?
great job usa
Sullivan is pissing his pants from this move that can bring a serious escalation
It was something I guess…
very well U.S.A. !!
TFW the Iranian military is unintentionally more helpful in transferring arms to Ukraine than are congressional Republicans.
Suck on that Iran
Now lets get that shipment SK just siezed from NK on its way to Russia
Well I guess that’s _something_. Will be plenty more as soon as the myass platter for Johnson is served. Won’t be much longer.
I hope they intercept more of this kind of shipping, so its safe to say iran indirectly helped ukraine lmao
Great, just enough ammo for every occupier in Ukraine. Are they lined up yet? One bullet each and no more. This seems to be a standard aid for desert wars, where Bedouins in flip-flops shoot at each other. The AKs are probably of very poor quality, as is the ammunition. They’d be good for practice ranges.
