While Russian dictator Vladimir Putin talks about the Oreshnik, Armata, and other weapons that supposedly have "no analogues," the Russian army is fighting Ukraine with Soviet arsenals that are 50 years old or more. This was candidly reported by Russian Z blogger Walk and Talk, who visited the Russian Armed Forces’ positions. An occupier showed a Z-blogger an outdated howitzer, who is forced to fight against Ukraine. He complained that the self-propelled howitzer was manufactured in 1968, making it almost 60 years old.
" I took it over, it was from ’69 produced… Even ’68, I think! Most of our guns are from ’76. ‘Gyotsints,’ D-20s… And the Ukrainians have their 777, which shoots pretty well, an American gun… Everything there is Western! Now they have nothing of our own left ," said a Russian Armed Forces soldier. Seeing this, Z-blogger began to suspect that Kremlin propaganda was lying about the equipment of the Russian army. " When you watch all those cool war correspondent reports, you think: wow, those super-modern jeeps driving around everywhere, those cool guns, those fancy tanks! And then you get to the front… I was already at one position, and they showed me a cannon from 1982 ," he told Walk and Talk. Dissatisfaction with the use of old weapons is growing within the Russian army itself.
Recall, Russia sells itself as a military superpower—one of the world’s top arms exporters, with a defense industry built on mass production and legacy firepower. But four years into its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, that image is getting a lot harder to believe.
Alongside drones, thermal scopes, and NATO-standard rifles, some of the weapons appearing in Russia’s war on Ukraine look more suited to a museum than a modern battlefield. Bolt-action rifles from the early 1900s, World War II–era submachine guns, and water-cooled machine guns on wheeled mounts have all turned up in active use, not as relics, but as issued gear.
Some of it comes from Soviet stockpiles, untouched for decades. Some has been funneled in through allies like North Korea and Iran. While both sides have fielded vintage hardware at times, the context couldn’t be more different.
Ukraine, never one to posture as a military superpower, has taken what it can procure—patching, modifying, and repurposing older systems as part of a broader strategy of necessity. It’s a war of survival, and the country has been inventive with what’s available.
Russia claims to be the world’s second most powerful army—a top-tier exporter with global reach and deep reserves. Yet, increasingly, the image doesn’t match the reality. As the war drags on, its troops, particularly those in lower-priority or hastily mobilized units, are being sent to the front with equipment pulled from another era. Here’s a look at some of the most outdated, obscure, and unexpected weapons still showing up on the battlefield, and what their presence reveals about the war behind them.
