The Ukrainian military installed the Maxim machine gun of 1910 on the Soviet car Izh-2715
Servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to customize civilian equipment to suit their needs. We have already seen homemade launchers on the chassis of ordinary cars. But our military does not stop.
What is known
Now they have installed the Maxim machine gun of the 1910 model on the Izh-2715. Perhaps soon we will see the new development in action, as it was with a launcher from a Ka-52 helicopter on a Mitsubishi L200.
