Imagine coming home someday at the end of the war from the frontline, or being a refugee in Poland or elsewhere, or somewhere in western Ukraine, and you find two used MANPADS just sitting on the floor in your bedroom…
u/StolenValourSlayer69 said they are [MANPADS](https://www.google.com/search?q=manpads&source=lmns&bih=751&biw=428&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS594US594&hl=en-US&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjCnPyi5-39AhWdlIQIHV4HBFwQ0pQJKAB6BAgAEAU) man-portable surface to air defense system. Possibly a stinger or something similar
You’re right that they’re MANPADS, but they aren’t stingers. Although I did see another video from what looks like the same building/unit and they did have a stinger. These are a Soviet design, and I’d guess they’re 9K38 IGLAs or some variant thereof, although I am by no means an expert in this kind of weapon.
I was gonna assume igla’s but I assumed Ukrainian forces just have stingers from the US. I’m pretty sure they got javelins or something from US forces.
After looking at images to compare I definitely think these are igla’s
That would be a fair assumption, but you’ve got to remember as well that Ukraine was basically _the_ manufacturing powerhouse of the Soviet Union, and they still have, or at least had before the war, a lot of that industrial capability. Meaning they can still make things like IGLAs on their own

Wild. Would make a cool corner lamp though
Probably use them as furniture. They are cool enough to be new statues
What weapon is that?
Igla manpad

RPG
not RPG, this is IGLA manpad, an anti-aircraft handheld system
How are they filming those things?
Probably using a gopro or a phone
😅shoot then scoot‼️
