POTD: Upgraded Ukranian AKs With Holosun Optics

    The People’s Project is a crowdfunding organization in the Ukraine to help their army upgrade their Ukranian AKs. Back in 2014 they helps upgrade Unit A 0224 with Holosun Optics, digital night vision, handguards and grips.

    Thanks to Vlad and Hrachya for helping me translate the Ukranian engraving on the side.

    I question the tall mount used on the Holosun below. However maybe this is a setup like the the KAC Redback One mount where you can still use the iron sights by looking through the mount? Also a taller red dot makes it easier to work with night vision monoculars.

    The People’s Project helped to upgrade 30 Ukranian AKs. They acquired 30 Holosun Collimator sights, handguards, tactical maps, pistol grips and fire transfer handles. Not sure what a fire transfer handle is but maybe it is the folding vertical grip? They only acquired one pulsar digital night vision scope, which I assume would be used by a marksman or the leader of the unit to help scan and ID threats in the dark. Similar to the concept of the FLIR T50 ACTS.
