I was talking to some Ukrainians that are operating in Bakhmut and they are setting up old water-cooled machine guns to perform indirect/plunging fire against Russian attacks. My grandfather was a Captain of a Machine Gun Company in France in WWI and he described how he did it during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. I'll these documents over to them. Most of what they are doing is trench warfare right now. Thanks, Wolfhag |
