This is very real. The first thing Ukrainians are doing with knocked out armor is dismounting the machine guns. I have seen videos of them removing the mount hardware on the side of the road. Ukrainians are mounting guns on the back of street vehicles to enable them to partake in hit and run attacks. The destroyed or knocked out armor is also extremely valuable, especially if the main gun works. They use military recovery vehicles and cranes to move and stack armor into their infantry defense fortifications. If the main gun works the vehicle is filled with sandbags and packed with sandbags on the outside, leaving access for the gun to be operated,

For those that don’t know . The belt fed shown is a pkt. It’s a coaxial mounted version of the pkm. It doesn’t have sights or a normal trigger. In the tank it’s fired by a electronic solenoid , but they have a back up tab that can be used to fire if the tank loses power etc. they are adding a pkm stock/grip that is tripping the the pkt sear. Normally the grip / trigger is under the gun not behind. Similar mods have been done to the pkt parts kits in America since they are more common then a pkm parts kit . There’s really only 4 main different parts . Barrel , top feed cover trigger group and rear trunion/stock Since ww1 people have been adapting tank mounted machine guns from captured tanks for soliders to use. Some models the machine guns are design to be taken out of the tank so the crew can use them if they need to ditch the tank.

This war is so familiar to me.

The point of my comment is the hypocrisy of hero worshipping the Ukrainians for using their skills and ingenuity to defend themselves whilst reviling as murderous terrorist those who resisted Western coalition forces in the middle east. Is that a bit clearer for you?

I love how the AK is so well known that just referring to a "Kalashnikov" is enough, even when you're comparing *another Kalashnikov design* to the AK! This is great work though, and joins a long tradition of defence forces fighting against a Russian invasion by using or adapting vehicle-mounted firepower for infantry use, that goes all the way back to the Finns and the Winter War.

Yeah lol I was confused a bit hearing that at first, I assumed they meant another machinegun such as a PKM by "Kalashlikov", and was wondering what kind of machinegun the PKT was for it to be stronger than a Kalashnikov

Awesome - excellent engineering prowess! Brilliant work, well done! All the Very Best to you All.

this is why the world needs guys like us, we can adapt anything for specific purpose, but we get looked down on by people who they think their above us just saying well done fellow mechanics keep up the fight

The only person who would look down upon you is someone who feels threatened by you, because your contribution to society is so much greater. So they hide their fear by pretending to be better.

The difference between Ukraine and Russia is that Ukraine is inviting millions of its people to brainstorm ideas while Russia has one man making all the decisions and listening to no one.

When you have a great team, you stand a far better chance of winning. The key to a great team is trust, everyone working towards the same goals using their different but complementary skills. I think in the army they call it Mission Command.

‘’Necessity is the mother of invention’’, well done guys! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦✊🏽🌎

Such resourcefulness! I hope this video doesn’t lead to the machine shop being targeted. ❤️ 🇺🇦

This is a true Special Forces way of warfare that we trained for back in the days of the Cold War. These local civilian auto mechanics converting coax machineguns from infantry fighting vehicles and tanks for infantry use is brilliant. We call the civilians that assist the guerilla band the Auxiliary... Improvise, adapt, and overcome.

Good job guys, keep up the great work you are doing. There are a lot of people all around the world that are with you. And would have ever thought that Russia would be your indirect supplier of weapons.

Nice I’m glad the military is adapting and overcoming the invaders and using the weapons against them 😎 never give up never surrender 😊

Hope those work properly! Bravo!

They probably do. It seems they have added SVD stocks and bipods, no actual work to the guts of the firearm

They are so resourceful and creative, they are using their profound military tactics and military science they have learned military academy. They manifested an exemplary courage and valor,making them invincible in time of aggression.

Brilliant . I love the resourcefulness

Genius! Much respect to the Ukrainians for never giving up the fight! God be with you..

As an engineer from New Zealand I salute you for helping to defend freedom from oppression LONG LIVE UKRAINE !!!!!!!

THANK YOU, BRO !

The weapons being converted are PKTs , the vehicle mounted version of the PKM. The barrel is heavier, and uses an electrical trigger. Fine for a vehicle, but hard for dismounted troops to use. These mechanics are doing a great job of replacing the fire control group, and putting a copy of the PKM stock onto these captured PKTs. These machine guns fire the full powered 7.62 x 54 rimmed cartridge, so it'll go through Russian body armour easily. A valuable resource for the Ukrainian defence of Kyiv.

these guys are so impressive, very important work that will stand Ukraine in good stead, I salute you, NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER!!!

Really remarkable people working for their country, are doing their best. The ancient greek poet Archilohus (635 B.C), wrote:"The fox uses many tricks, though, the hedgehog uses only one, the best."

In WW2, the US Marines had a similar weapon, called a Stinger, .30 cal machine gun from an aircraft, BAR bipod and rear site with a shoulder stock from a M1 Garand using a remote trigger. Glory to the heroes! Glory to Ukraine!

This goes to show what tool makers and people with talent can do.

Amazing! The fighting spirit of the Ukrainians is their ultimate weapon to win this war. May God lead them to defeat the enemy and completely regain their country's sovereignty. Praying, walking for the victory and freedom of Ukraine!

Glory to Ukrainian Auto Mechanics! I love the sound of heavy machine guns in the in the morning, it sounds like victory!

A passionate mechanic becomes a Gunsmith / inventor when the need is high. These are Tony Stark Times.

The Ukrainian resourcefulness and tenacity in the defence of their home is inspirational.

As someone that has worked with rifles for enough years, the only thing that concerns me is the sight of loaded weapons in a machine shop

The Ukrainians are a wonderfully brave and innovative people, this is great to see! Slava Ukraini!

This is exactly the kind of action that will ultimately win this war. Keep up the great work. Wish I was there to help.

Something very satisfying about this. About time YT recommends a vid worth watching.

What these mechanics are doing for their country is amazing. Even Mikhail Kalashnikov said that he wanted to use his engineering skills to build tractors rather than guns. Thankfully alot of these Ukrainian's mechanic skills are transferable to weapons design too.

Wow, respect! This so creative and proves that we can use our intelligence to survive.

Imagine the job satisfaction you get, coming into work and doing this!

🇺🇦❤️🙏 Prayers and blessings to the people of Ukraine
