Isn't it kind of mind boggling that Russia was not able to issue all its mobilized troops in Ukraine enough AK47s?

The AK47 was designed to be easy to manufacture, and the design is completely Russian. I would have thought it's nothing for a factory to stamp out millions of them

AK-47s are a good weapon but when your nation goes to war you go prepared with manpower and armaments, but mostly with a strategy and tactics designed to win. Obviously Putin got cocky and it hurt his military adventure albeit there may or may not have been extensive use of the AK-47s.

I don't think he got cocky, I think it’s all "Nazi level" propaganda, Russia is winning the war, and all the propaganda is to gain support from Americans, giving yet another excuse to send American troops into a war that the US has no business entering.

@calicuz I don’t think you or anyone else will see U. S. troops involved in fighting the Russian military.
As for the Nazi element to all this, I find it hard to swallow, considering as we’re told Zelinsky is Jewish. But there are those and I’m not criticizing you per se, who say this is about Nazis, but I’m not buying it.
And if the Republicans take the house and senate, very possible ,aid and funding to Ukraine will either be stopped or extremely limited.

No, not actual Nazis, I meant the level of propaganda is at the level of the Nazi propaganda back in Wll.
