Old nemesis facing each other in Syria

It seems that the war on fascism, Nazism and extremism did not end with the end of World War II.

It is ironic that the same two old nemesis are again faceing each other, from the 2nd World War battlefields, to today’s war in Syria.

The Syrian army has used various types of sniper rifles against opposition and terrorist armed groups in Syria over the past seven years.

One of the most striking was the observation of a legendary rifle that showed its combat skill among the Russian/Soviet  forces during World War II, in the possession of members of the Syrian army, the gun known as the Russian engineer Mosin.

The useful range of the Mosin rifle is 1,300 meters.

Its speed is estimated at 14 rounds per minute.

The cartridge store is available for 5 shots.

The Mosin rifle weighs 4.5 kg, and it was characterized by its simple operation and ease of maintenance.

The strange coincidence is that the StG44 Sturmgewehr was spotted with several opposition and terrorist armed groups, it is the German rifle used by Nazi Germany forces in World War II.

It is ironic that it seems that the two sides of the conflict used the same weapons of confrontation between the Soviet forces defending their land in the face of the German-Nazi invading force.

Thus, decades later, the two ancient gurus were in two different trenches again, The location of the two parties and the result that will be similar to the course of the war in Syria as it was the case in World War II.
