It kinda looks like some kind of NVG scope?

Maybe as a replacement for that 1PN58 the guy was holding.

Possibly some type of NV or thermal optic?

I've never seen that before, either. I wonder if that marksman had a proprietary mount made to keep his profile lower? Very neat.

That 7.62X54R was kicking that man like a bitch. How do you know it was Ukraine made?

Google Translate - it detects the correct language/text and translates.

looks like they mounted a weaver / 1913 style scope some how to the side rail vs. on top of it where it should go.

odd to say the least, but still - if its able to assist in putting rounds downrange its still a valid threat to someone / something.

Something has been rigged/modified to fit and make do..





ETA- (as stated above) It looks like it was meant to mount on a picatinny 1913 rail but fastened on and maybe here they are trying to site it in.
