Alexander, the news here says the situation is changing rapidly in your area. Please use your best judgment and stay safe. Praying for you and all volunteers. God be with you.
for gloves, if you like the mechanics style/ thickness there's a brand called "hardy" that are basically the same. i got them from harbor freight. i have 3 pair i use out on the range and they feel great on me, and on the guns. got them for around $6-$12 a pair.
Ask your the Unit you plan for what specifically will be issued to you, sometimes they reply with a list sometimes it's very vague. Remember, you can buy everything you need in country. If you forget something or didn't think of something, even in small cities there should be at least 2-3 military stores within walking distance of wherever you are. If you can put an stitch an airtag in each bag (lots of thievery in Ukraine). If you plan to be in Ukraine for the long run rent an apartment or even look into buying a dacha in a city that you frequent. A shitty apartment in some places can be as little as $100-200 a month. It's a place to fall back on if needed, and a great way to store all of your accumulated trinkets and extra gear. Also always if possible ALWAYS keep the hard case for optics, NVG's, ETC. Seen too many times where dudes trash their $1000 optics because of carelessness.
Toilet paper is good, leaves and sheet work but toilet paper is just mega luxury item that is just very easy to have with you. Personally id just recommend have the toilet paper in a small plastic bag and tying it close to prevent water ruining it.
Saving this to my favorites, will use as part of my checklist here as I finish getting everything I need. I appreciate the hell out of this vid and your others man.
As a Ukrainian from Canada, I chuckled at the Kasha comment. When I stayed with my grandparents, I lived on Kasha! Definitely an acquired taste. Thank you for your service! Stay safe out there!
How hard was it to bring gun parts into ukraine since you probably had to cross multiple EU borders and some gun parts like barrels, bolts, over 10 round magazines, scilencers are restricted items in some countries?
FYI, the load out by third is the best of what’s issued. GUR you will required to be bring your own / buy as you go besides extremely basic plate carrier/ belt set up and one set of uniforms.
I lost my Triumph neck knife while hunting:(. I don't think they make them any more. I now insist on secondary retention. Kydex is high speed but not so good in close brush.

Just the upper… He got stopped in Poland and had to disassemble the barrel and gas block, he kept the upper itself… Suppressors purchased in country. Most of his crap kit was brought with him…
Truthfully, anyone staying back is the problem. Cowards with no real regard for freedom or liberty who would rather see the Jack boots of an autocrat trample those less fortunate than them. Russia is an antithesis to the liberties and civil freedoms that we in the west take for granted and haven’t had to truly fight for as far back as living memory goes, yet most of us stand back to allow this antithesis to take more ground due to motives that goes against our very being. Politics shouldn’t matter when it’s a matter of human decency and the protection of our rights that someone like Putin wants to revoke by force, if not today then tomorrow, and those who have or plan to go out and fight are the only people truly doing the right thing here. So how does it compute that the only people standing up to oppression by a tyrant, the only patriots of democracy and liberty are somehow “unwanted” in the supposed home of these ideas? Quite simply, they shouldn’t be, but people with far too much money in real estate have convinced us that our fellow countrymen and random border hoppers are the problem, and not a nation that actively vies to undermine and destroy all we hold dear.
Salary is split into 3 parts during the month. And depends on if ur in combat and on front or not. 500 usd is base pay and goes up to 3000 usd if in combqt
As a volunteer can you request the M4 platform? As an American with access to high quality AR's at home, how hard would it be to bring a complete upper or upper minus BCG to Ukraine? If I am going to risk my life I would require to use my own gear which is very high quality tested gear.
@@lonerandy so that is exactly what i was concerned about before i left. And i brought a complete upper. I was arrested in warsaw at the airport. The next day i was interviewed and they allowed me to disconfigure the whole upper and take everything except thr bcg and barrel. And as ive showed in my videos ive used many of those parts on my weapons. As far as issued rifles. It depends where u end up. 2nd battalion does not have m4s. They use ak47s and ak74s. 1st batt has m4s amoung other rifles. 3rd have HKs and Grots and Aks and saws and pkms. 3rd Batt even has an AR15
@@AlexanderMachiavelli What a pain just to reassemble with GI barrel later. I heard it's possible to ship an upper in through Poland. It's really a deal breaker for me. Any solid workaround? Literally have a complete upper way better than anything they could give me...I'm willing to volunteer, just can't do it with something I haven't put 20,000 rounds through yet
@@AlexanderMachiavelli 3rd has a single AR-15? wow. I'm reaching out to the Legion about possibility of importing an upper. Everyone I've been talked to on Reddit is like, "bro. just an AK, blah blah" and then I try to tell them I've been shooting AR's religiously for years and then they just think I'm a LARPer. I'm noticing a lot of people totally absent of training or quality tactical products chiming in on social media and giving me horrible advice
since only barrel and BCG are regulated maybe I'll a complete lower, stripped upper, hand guard, gas block and tube, muzzle device....and then how hard would it be to track down a 11.5" barrel and BCG?
@@lonerandy don't get too hanged up on using the best quality rifle, in this war, chances to use it effectively is fairly low, you should instead worry about being able to evade drones, get an glasses that has an small mirror that let you check directly above you, might be useful.
Did you take the knifes with you and helmets as how did you get through security at the airport or did you get the weapons and helmets when you was in Ukraine
@@MattWaller04 any remnants of that type of behavior are left over from the russian influence on the country. Everything russia touches brings corruption, oppression and cheating
I have a krydex chest rig as well I was wondering how well the brand held up in combat or under real stress but never seen anyone in a active war using krydex only small TH-camrs making a review I really hope they are holding up well and worth it bc I’ve been looking at American brands but I know krydex is cheaper
Itar is a real thing, but Poland is part of our Intel sharing and their laws don't prohibit most things. Just don't bring a firearm or wear body armor in public and you will be fine.
None of itar matters untless u are moving large amounts of products. I wqs arrested in poland for a barrel and bcg. And they let me deconstruct my upper and take the rest of the parts. So no bcgs or uppers as i said in the video
@@AlexanderMachiavelli gotcha and yeah I seen that video that’s why I asked about what trouble you’d have with bringing gear. I wasn’t planning on bringing a gun just parts like handrails and optics and what not
Can you believe people signed up to fight in WW2 after 1939? That’s mind blowing and would never happen surely, because as we all know things don’t exist anymore after the mainstream media shuts up about them for more than 12 seconds 🤡
It’s almost like there’s good people who want to help a country defend itself against a communist horde. But you wouldn’t actually fight for your beliefs so I don’t expect you to understand
@AlexanderMachiavelli is it an actual building or vehicles that follow you? if it's a building do you have to travel back there every time you need to pick something from there?
New subscriber here. I have so many questions about firearms in Ukraine. Particularly suppressors. They seem to be in big use by both sides. Especially with the honorable and righteous Ukrainian side. What are some Ukrainian brands? Have laws changed since the invasion? They seem easy to find. Also, how much in cost do silencers vary? Thank you and stay safe. God bless.
@@Alex-pb1iy yea good question. They are super easy to get. U can buy them at stores. Or in strip malls or even little kiosks on the side of the road. Prices depends on quality. Anywhere upwards of 11,000 hrevna to super cheap.
@@AlexanderMachiavelli Thanks for the reply! That explains why their so prevalent. While on the topic, one thing I’ve been curious about, maybe this will help. You’ll have to test it. Place a neoprene or rubber disk on the outside on the end of a silencer with duct tape. This should get rid of first round pop. My concern would be over pressure causing the gun to possibly misfeed or jam. That’s why it should be tested first. Wipes as they’re called as I’m sure you know, have been used in silencers for about as long as they’ve been around. My can is currently being repaired otherwise I’d give it a shot. Do you guys use wipes on your cans? Stay safe. God Bless!
@@Alex-pb1iy bro dont call it a silencer anymore🤣 Lol but u mean the things u stick to the end of a suppressor for the gas on the first pop? Im not familiar with them, never used one, and never seen one. Most suppressors ive seen have been bare and unpainted obviously. I had a wrap over one of mine initially and melted that bitch off. But thats interesting what u speak off. I would like to do some experimenting with it for sure.
@@AlexanderMachiavelli Yea man you got it! That’s exactly what I’m talking about. It gets rid of first round pop. It’s very effective. A sheet of neoprene, silicone, or urethane, with a thickness of 1/8-1/4 is what you want to experiment with to make round discs properly called wipes. Taping a wipe to the end of a can is real down and dirty. Since fabrication is easy to come by, I’m sure you can find someone who can make you a proper can that can hold multiple wipes between the baffles and have the ability to change out the wipes. One of the first AK suppressors had multiple wipes in it’s design. Some suppressors with wipes in them make the gun ridiculously quiet. Even works on pistols. Especially a .45acp or .22LR The term silencer has been in use since 1902 when Hiram Maxim invented the first sound suppression device. Silencer is the legal term. The term suppressor is a technical term and has only recently become popular. Both words are interchangeable in a casual sense. 💫The more you know💫 Good luck bro! Keep us updated if you decide to experiment.
@Alex-pb1iy yea bro but remember, especially if ur american, "legal terms" are the worst. Politicians dont know a thing about functional physical parts. Thats why SBRs are "more dangerous" to them even tho they lower the muzzle velocity. Or why "assualt weapons" are so dangerous and kill people all by themselves and not the person pulling the trigger of said rifle. Or how "high capacity magazines" are super duper dangerous when lying next to a "standard capacity mag". So stay away from legal terms. They will have u sounding like u dont know shit even tho from our conversation i can tell you know ur shit and are a very intelligent guy. But thanks for the lesson man. I learned something today. I find it interesting all these xomments are awsome and alot of people have good questions or knowledge that i never knew to ask or have never seen

@@warhammer312 of courae ur allowed to fly with all that gear. In america. We have rights in america. No as i stated in the video, u cannot go to poland with barrels or BCG's. But in america u fly with guns. Why would u not be able to fly with parts?
Good vid answered alot of my questions. If its possible can you cover some details of the contract sometime. How they do job placement, timeframe, pay, other details. I would really appreciate it!!!
Sure. Ill do short video soon on that for ya
@AlexanderMachiavelli Thank you.
Great video 🫡 Can you do a review on krydex or amazon type kit? Also where’s your green flannel from? And why you decided to join? God bless.
U should check out agilites magnetix edc belt it is a inner belt just like the one given to you but the loop is hooked in different to give it up to 1” of stretch imo its perfect stretches when I want it to otherwise always nice and tight and if u decide to get the full battle belt it has magnets in the back for quick and easy alignment of the outer belt
this guy travelled from the u.s with this gear including the rifles , too ukraine or from where ?
Just the upper…
He got stopped in Poland and had to disassemble the barrel and gas block, he kept the upper itself…
Suppressors purchased in country.
Most of his crap kit was brought with him…
Great video but dude ain’t no way your wearing a 5:11 tech-tac in a warzone I own one myself and they are horrible 😂
This dudes a tool.
Awesome video

Truthfully, anyone staying back is the problem.
Cowards with no real regard for freedom or liberty who would rather see the Jack boots of an autocrat trample those less fortunate than them. Russia is an antithesis to the liberties and civil freedoms that we in the west take for granted and haven’t had to truly fight for as far back as living memory goes, yet most of us stand back to allow this antithesis to take more ground due to motives that goes against our very being.
Politics shouldn’t matter when it’s a matter of human decency and the protection of our rights that someone like Putin wants to revoke by force, if not today then tomorrow, and those who have or plan to go out and fight are the only people truly doing the right thing here.
So how does it compute that the only people standing up to oppression by a tyrant, the only patriots of democracy and liberty are somehow “unwanted” in the supposed home of these ideas?
Quite simply, they shouldn’t be, but people with far too much money in real estate have convinced us that our fellow countrymen and random border hoppers are the problem, and not a nation that actively vies to undermine and destroy all we hold dear.
What to take to the Ukraine: your will.
Loved it. You should do a vid on what's on a war bag or ammo bag, what do you bring for a 24 or 72 hr mission . You doing a Instagram anytime soon
the company who makes the dogleg stock is called Archtech you said?
@@whereisthebalance5732 Ark. They make many more parts like as well. Like the AK mlok rails and ak stock and ar parts as well. But yes ARK
If you don’t mind me asking, what do Americans fighting in Ukraine get paid?
Salary is split into 3 parts during the month. And depends on if ur in combat and on front or not. 500 usd is base pay and goes up to 3000 usd if in combqt
@@AlexanderMachiavelli3000 a pay? Like 3 times a month? Or 3000 for the entire month? Thanks.
As a volunteer can you request the M4 platform? As an American with access to high quality AR's at home, how hard would it be to bring a complete upper or upper minus BCG to Ukraine? If I am going to risk my life I would require to use my own gear which is very high quality tested gear.
@@lonerandy so that is exactly what i was concerned about before i left. And i brought a complete upper. I was arrested in warsaw at the airport. The next day i was interviewed and they allowed me to disconfigure the whole upper and take everything except thr bcg and barrel.
And as ive showed in my videos ive used many of those parts on my weapons. As far as issued rifles. It depends where u end up. 2nd battalion does not have m4s. They use ak47s and ak74s. 1st batt has m4s amoung other rifles. 3rd have HKs and Grots and Aks and saws and pkms. 3rd Batt even has an AR15
@@AlexanderMachiavelli What a pain just to reassemble with GI barrel later. I heard it's possible to ship an upper in through Poland. It's really a deal breaker for me. Any solid workaround? Literally have a complete upper way better than anything they could give me...I'm willing to volunteer, just can't do it with something I haven't put 20,000 rounds through yet
@@AlexanderMachiavelli 3rd has a single AR-15? wow. I'm reaching out to the Legion about possibility of importing an upper. Everyone I've been talked to on Reddit is like, "bro. just an AK, blah blah" and then I try to tell them I've been shooting AR's religiously for years and then they just think I'm a LARPer. I'm noticing a lot of people totally absent of training or quality tactical products chiming in on social media and giving me horrible advice
since only barrel and BCG are regulated maybe I'll a complete lower, stripped upper, hand guard, gas block and tube, muzzle device....and then how hard would it be to track down a 11.5" barrel and BCG?
@@lonerandy don't get too hanged up on using the best quality rifle, in this war, chances to use it effectively is fairly low, you should instead worry about being able to evade drones, get an glasses that has an small mirror that let you check directly above you, might be useful.
Did you take the knifes with you and helmets as how did you get through security at the airport or did you get the weapons and helmets when you was in Ukraine
no I brought everything with me. In america we have what are called "rights". And u can fly with knives and guns
Wait i thought he was back in the states so is he coming home soon or is it until the war ends?
What is ur question?
@AlexanderMachiavelli i thought you were home in the states but if not .. Stay safe come home and we will be watching your new videos 👍👍👍
What to take to Ukraine:
1) your passport so you can leave Ukraine
2) money to bribe police and government officials
3) white flag just in case
@@MattWaller04 any remnants of that type of behavior are left over from the russian influence on the country. Everything russia touches brings corruption, oppression and cheating

Beware of russian shovels, they hit pretty heavy.
Love these videos. Are you able to do a video talking about the kinds of optics, night vision, thermals, etc. you've seen and how they're employed?
yessir
Careful, you forgot to blur the photo of one of your loved ones at some time in the video (9:50 for example)
@@alyxme thanks bro
I have a krydex chest rig as well I was wondering how well the brand held up in combat or under real stress but never seen anyone in a active war using krydex only small TH-camrs making a review I really hope they are holding up well and worth it bc I’ve been looking at American brands but I know krydex is cheaper
@@MRSCRUBBLES ive used and been uaing my friend
Good channel pls more gear
Any trouble bringing gear as a civilian on the plane to Poland and over the border? That’s my main worry
Itar is a real thing, but Poland is part of our Intel sharing and their laws don't prohibit most things. Just don't bring a firearm or wear body armor in public and you will be fine.
None of itar matters untless u are moving large amounts of products. I wqs arrested in poland for a barrel and bcg. And they let me deconstruct my upper and take the rest of the parts. So no bcgs or uppers as i said in the video
@@AlexanderMachiavelli gotcha and yeah I seen that video that’s why I asked about what trouble you’d have with bringing gear. I wasn’t planning on bringing a gun just parts like handrails and optics and what not
@@MRSCRUBBLES no provlem bringing that. Not being a smart ass but everything i listed in the video and some more stuff i brought from home
@ alrighty good to know because I was wondering how much u brought from home and how much you’ve bought in Ukraine
I can't believe there are still foreign volunteers going this late in the game. This has got to be State Dept recruiting, there ain't no way 😐
Can you believe people signed up to fight in WW2 after 1939?
That’s mind blowing and would never happen surely, because as we all know things don’t exist anymore after the mainstream media shuts up about them for more than 12 seconds 🤡
It’s almost like there’s good people who want to help a country defend itself against a communist horde. But you wouldn’t actually fight for your beliefs so I don’t expect you to understand
Damn bro, posting a selfie on a youtube spam channel is wild work😂
where do you keep all your stuff? i assume you dont bring it all on the front but where do you store it
The battalions have a location to keep ur belongins in that u dont want to take with u here or there.
@AlexanderMachiavelli is it an actual building or vehicles that follow you?
if it's a building do you have to travel back there every time you need to pick something from there?
New subscriber here.
I have so many questions about firearms in Ukraine. Particularly suppressors.
They seem to be in big use by both sides.
Especially with the honorable and righteous Ukrainian side.
What are some Ukrainian brands?
Have laws changed since the invasion? They seem easy to find.
Also, how much in cost do silencers vary?
Thank you and stay safe. God bless.
@@Alex-pb1iy yea good question. They are super easy to get. U can buy them at stores. Or in strip malls or even little kiosks on the side of the road. Prices depends on quality. Anywhere upwards of 11,000 hrevna to super cheap.
@@AlexanderMachiavelli Thanks for the reply! That explains why their so prevalent.
While on the topic, one thing I’ve been curious about, maybe this will help. You’ll have to test it. Place a neoprene or rubber disk on the outside on the end of a silencer with duct tape. This should get rid of first round pop. My concern would be over pressure causing the gun to possibly misfeed or jam. That’s why it should be tested first. Wipes as they’re called as I’m sure you know, have been used in silencers for about as long as they’ve been around. My can is currently being repaired otherwise I’d give it a shot. Do you guys use wipes on your cans? Stay safe. God Bless!
@@Alex-pb1iy bro dont call it a silencer anymore🤣
Lol but u mean the things u stick to the end of a suppressor for the gas on the first pop? Im not familiar with them, never used one, and never seen one. Most suppressors ive seen have been bare and unpainted obviously. I had a wrap over one of mine initially and melted that bitch off. But thats interesting what u speak off. I would like to do some experimenting with it for sure.
@@AlexanderMachiavelli Yea man you got it! That’s exactly what I’m talking about. It gets rid of first round pop. It’s very effective.
A sheet of neoprene, silicone, or urethane, with a thickness of 1/8-1/4 is what you want to experiment with to make round discs properly called wipes.
Taping a wipe to the end of a can is real down and dirty. Since fabrication is easy to come by, I’m sure you can find someone who can make you a proper can that can hold multiple wipes between the baffles and have the ability to change out the wipes. One of the first AK suppressors had multiple wipes in it’s design.
Some suppressors with wipes in them make the gun ridiculously quiet. Even works on pistols. Especially a .45acp or .22LR
The term silencer has been in use since 1902 when Hiram Maxim invented the first sound suppression device. Silencer is the legal term. The term suppressor is a technical term and has only recently become popular. Both words are interchangeable in a casual sense.
💫The more you know💫 Good luck bro! Keep us updated if you decide to experiment.
@Alex-pb1iy yea bro but remember, especially if ur american, "legal terms" are the worst. Politicians dont know a thing about functional physical parts. Thats why SBRs are "more dangerous" to them even tho they lower the muzzle velocity. Or why "assualt weapons" are so dangerous and kill people all by themselves and not the person pulling the trigger of said rifle. Or how "high capacity magazines" are super duper dangerous when lying next to a "standard capacity mag".
So stay away from legal terms. They will have u sounding like u dont know shit even tho from our conversation i can tell you know ur shit and are a very intelligent guy.
But thanks for the lesson man. I learned something today. I find it interesting all these xomments are awsome and alot of people have good questions or knowledge that i never knew to ask or have never seen
Can someone without combat experience join the Ukraine international legion ?
Yes sir
