![]() ![]() In July, after the liberation of the city of Slovyansk by the Ukrainian army, in a video by Channel 5 among the various ammunition seized from the ‘Girkin’s band’ the capping of SP-6 cartridges (sniper, enhanced penetration) 9×39 mm caliber used for Val or Vintorez rifles, was displayed. In the summer of 2014, Russia supplied large amounts of weapons and ammunition to Donbas, including ammunition for the Vintorez rifle. Because Ageev is listed as Rahmatullin’s friend and the photos were uploaded in the same period and had similar backgrounds, we can see they were made at the same place. He posted the photo with the Vintorez rifle to his album on September 2, 2014. Another Ageev’s photo with the Vintorez:Įugene Rahmatullin lives in Krasnodon, Luhansk Oblast ( page, album), a militant of the terrorist organization LNR. Presumably, Russian military personnel, who are the owners of these rifles, are with him posing for the camera. Since Ageev is a gunner (conclusions are based on analysis of the album), he was given a rifle to hold only during the photo shooting. According to its geotag, this picture was taken in the village of Hryaschevka, Krasnodon Raion of Luhansk Oblast. He uploaded his picture with three Vintorez rifles to his album on September 8, 2014. phone: +79611730538, served for the military unit 3703 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in 2009-2010, contract service – in the Krasnodar Krai, town of Labinsk, military unit 3219, the 451th Regiment of operational use of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation since 2010. ![]() On at a briefing for the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a Vintorez rifle without its optical sight PSO-1-1 and ammunition of 9×39 mm caliber SP-5, seized from Captain Yerofeyev during his capture, was displayed.Īnatoliy Ageev is a militant of the terrorist organization LNR ( profile, album), date of birth, hometown: Groznyi, education: Belgorod University of Cooperation, Economy and Law (alumnus of 2011), mob. On May 19, Ukrainian investigators announced that the two detainees were suspected of committing crimes under article 258-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, in connection with their participation in terrorist activities for the LNR. The detainees were transferred to Kiev, to the Main Clinical Hospital of Ministry of Defense. One of the detainees was shot in the arm (Captain Yerofeyev), and one other (Sergeant Alexandrov) – in the leg. During this skirmish, one Ukrainian soldier was killed and three were wounded. On in the area of the ATO near Shchastya, Russian soldiers of the 3rd separate brigade of the special purpose GRU, 21208 military base of Tolyatti, Sergeant A. This rifle and ammunition for it has never been supplied to Ukraine. The rifle was previously used by Special Forces of the KGB of Belarus, but in the absence of local production of the SP-5 and SP-6 cartridges and no prospects for their supply, it was replaced with other types of firearms. It is currently used in the special forces units of the Airborne Troops, the FSB, the GRU and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. KGB and GRU units received this rifle in 1987. As a result of this new requirement, the rifle designers came to the conclusion that the RG037 cartridge would be ineffective, so further work on the project was halted, and soon the sniper rifle was completely redesigned for 9×39 mm cartridge ( SP-5, SP-6 and PAB-9). However, in 1985, new requirements for silent firearms were approved, according to which it had to hit the enemy in 6B2 flak jackets at a distance of 400 m. The new rifle withstood the preliminary tests. The name Vintorez (‘thread cutter’) remains, after its use in the design documentation. It was developed in the late 1980’s by TsNIITochMash in Klimovsk under the guidance of Petr Serdukov. The VSS Vintorez (Винтовка Снайперская Специальная, Vintovka Snayperskaya Spetsialnaya, or ‘Special Sniper Rifle’) is a suppressed sniper rifle that is used by Spetsnaz (Special Forces) units, GRAU designation 6P29. ![]()
