Quite an invasion. Not a single shot fired, as far as we know. Russian troops back in Crimea, where they were from 1783-1991.

Amazing that after all these years, the Russian army still uses that ghastly mustard color in their uniforms.
Some places in Russia must have some really nasty looking vegetation.

I don’t know what exactly it is, but I would like one of those guns with the scope.

Looking at some of the ladies, I’m surprised Bill Clinton hasn’t appointed himself USA negotiator in chief....

They are special forces. Best not to be recognizable.

The first one looks to be an SVD, the rest look like AK74s.

As far as most Russian speaking people in Crimea are concerned these soldiers are doing axactly what Putin says - i.e. protecting them. Now for his actually intentions who knows - one would tend to think hhe likes having his sphere of influence to be maintained over the whole of the Ukraine and maybe even further.

Exactly. Those aren’t “masks”, they’re balaclavas. I have several myself. I considered them essential, when working (and playing) outdoors in cold northern Canadian winters. If the Russian soldiers were wearing them for concealment — then, judging from the photos, a lot of them didn’t get the memo.
BTW, balaclavas are named after Balaclava, a town in Crimea.

Looks to be a Dragunov SVDS. Sniper rifle for paratroops. 7.62X54R.
That is the pic with 3 soldiers and one civilian. Soldier on far R. A nasty weapon...

Most German soldiers weren’t members of the Nazi party. Why aren’t Soviet soldiers called communist soldiers?

Wait until they don't stop in The Ukraine.
