"A propaganda picture that was circulated on Cascadian Instagram and Twitter feeds. It depicts Cascadian VDV troops landing in a high desert environment, stepping off into what is assumed to be the deserts south of Boise city. As of yet, no action has been carried out by the Cascadian VDV during the course of the war. At the date of publication, the Cascadian military has not moved east of the Snake River without substantial USEC assistance. Pressures from the Russian government may be nudging the Cascadian MOD to act on the territorial crisis, as efforts to modernize and supply units have picked up in recent months.
Along with USEC assets, the CDF are also receiving additional equipment and vehicles from Russia -including the KA 60 Kasatka helicopters seen in this photograph. It is believed that a full scale peacekeeping mission will commence in the near future."
That's an RPK -basically just a long AK that usually gets used for suppressing enemies through high volumes of fire. It's not a general purpose machine gun like a PKP or our M240 MGs, it's kind of a middle ground between infantry rifle and machine gun. They're cool, I wish the parts were easier to get these days because I'd love to build one.
