Clustered small group of resisting fighters against a well equipped Russian-armed army.
More or less the same scenario in the movie red dawn.

Yeah, and I guess you use what you have for weapons...anybody know what kind of a machine gun that is?

Russian Bipod-mounted Semi-Heavy machine gun. Degtyarev( spelling?) in 7.62x54R. I will look it up for you.

It is NOT Degtyarov DS-39 machine gun (USSR / Russia) or one of countless variants.

After more "inspection" it is be the "newer" 1943 Gorjunov, the Degtyarov design was problematic and preceded the Grojunov design:

Degtyaryov. You have a good eye Beiruty.

Thank you. I've heard of it before...same cartridge as the Mosin, I see. I guess it would be like shooting a Model 1919...you read about GIs doing that kind of stuff in WWII, but I'd never seen anybody shoot that size machine gun like that until now...

Muscle and Control -- and necessity!

Best weapons and methods for the resistance should be ATGM or RPG-27, snipers, and IEDs and swarming tactics on fixed positions.

Isn't that pretty much a 24/7 activity in that part of the world?
