It’s simple - Russia is the ‘second strongest’ military on earth.
When Russia does shit like this, it’s cringe, because a massive military budget for the past 80 years should be able to afford enough DShKs and RPDs/RPKs to go around without having to dip into WW1 stocks, at the least.
When Ukraine does shit like this, it’s resourceful, because up until 2014 their military was an afterthought and they have to use everything they’ve got.

I never said it’s bad, just that I usually expect this kind of thing from Russia and not from Ukraine
