Standard rifles used by ordinary soldiers in the Russia-Ukraine war.

01. AK-74

This is one of the standard-issue weapons for Ukrainian soldiers. The AK-74 is a 5.45mm caliber assault rifle that is widely used in the Ukrainian military. It is known for its reliability, ease of maintenance, and high rate of fire, providing stable performance on the battlefield. Although there have been reports that the AK-74 is gradually being phased out, it is still in use.

02. AKM

The AKM is an improved version of the AK-47, offering a higher rate of fire and better magazine capacity. This rifle is also widely used in the Ukrainian military, especially among certain special forces and volunteer units.

In addition, other types of rifles have appeared on the battlefield, such as:

03. UAR-15

This is a domestically produced version of the AR-15. While it is mainly concentrated in special forces, ordinary units still use the AK-74.

04. Vz58

 An older Czech-made rifle that is similar in design to the AK-47, also used by the Ukrainian military.

05. HTI Anti-Material Rifle

This is a bullpup bolt-action anti-material rifle mainly used for long-range target engagement.

In summary, the standard configuration for ordinary soldiers in the Russia-Ukraine war mainly consists of the AK-74 and AKM assault rifles. These two rifles have become standard equipment due to their reliability and extensive usage history. Additionally, other types of rifles, such as the UAR-15, Vz58, and HTI, are used in specific situations.
