Because Russians are idiots and just use whatever stock photo they come across after googling "wannabe snipery shit".
Thanks for the clarification.
Hi,
Because the Britts brokered the deal between Ukraine Ministry of Defense and Northeastern Arms via Canadian Ministry of Defense.
AKA the joys and benefits of ITAR.
This solicitation went out almost a year ago but since USA has a agreement with Russia even though we have Russia on a complete ITAR products embargo; USA based companies were not allowed to participate since Ukraine admits these weapons are going to militias rather than "Uniformed" soldiers.

So we get to pay more money for someone else's war and the goddamn rifles aren't even made here. Must be nice to spend other people's money with a neverending supply.
Blasphemy
The Ruger 10/22?
The 10-22 is the Israeli version of "less than lethal"...not shit, not kidding. It is used against rock throwers and the marksman aims for non-vital areas. At least it used to be considered less than lethal. An Israeli judge has declared it lethal. Even in a country that is fighting for its existence, "do-gooders" continue to make the job tougher.
The Ruger 10/22 sniper rifle is back in use in the West Bank.
The weapon has been outlawed under Israeli law since 2001. It was deemed “more lethal than previously thought” by the Israeli occupation Judge Advocate General Menachem Finkelstein after it killed several children in Gaza during the second Intifada.
The US-made rifle is modified by the Israeli military, with the standard issue now having a large suppressor or 'silencer’, a bi-pod and a scope attached.
The Israeli army released a statement stating that the Ruger rifle and .22 calibre bullets were used in Aida refugee camp on Monday, authorized by a high-ranking officer at the scene. Photographic evidence shows the Ruger rifle in use at the clashes in Hebron in recent weeks. Testimonies from children in Aida camp and Beit Jala hospital in Bethlehem also indicate its use in the shooting of the two boys Odai Sarhan and Mohammad al-Kirdi.
Mohammad al-Azza, present at the scene, describes the incident of al-Kirdi's shooting.
“When they throw stones, the shabab (youths) go closer, up towards the guard tower. He [al-Kirdi] was just standing here. He suddenly fell down and started crying. He was feeling his chest and legs and said 'here, and here, the bullet is here’, he didn’t know where it had gone. So there was no sound, noone heard a sound, but we just saw him fall.”
Mohammad al-Azza was certain it was the Ruger rifle. Other sources, most notably Dr. Ronza Salem who operated on al-Kirdi, stated that it was a rubber-coated steel bullet, not a .22 calibre round that the Ruger uses. To date, the Israeli army have not commented on the specifics of either of the two shootings.
The reintroduction of the rifle marks a change in ideology by the Israeli army's Central Command.
Its use has been historically linked to escalations in demonstrations and protests in the West Bank, despite its reclassification as lethal. It also comes at a time when Israel has been receiving 'bad press’ and international condemnation in relation to its settlement policy. The use of the weapon, alongside the increasing use of live ammunition during protests, as a means to entice Palestinian demonstrators into violence should not be discarded as a reason behind its renewed usage.

Shoot the idiot "do-gooders."
What a load of horse shit. The use of .22s to shoot terrorists encourages more terrorism? What a stupid fuck. They should use missiles instead of .22s and vaporize the fuckers.
Hi,
That is same shitass JAG that launched the investigation of the British reporter killed in that same time frame. Reporters family claimed one thing, IDF claimed he was helping the terrorist on Egyptian Border.
He ordered 10 IDF soldiers turn over their weapons for ballistic testing after IDF had already done their internal investigation.

Rifle brands aside, we need to send them whatever will chase those fuckers back through the gate of Moscow.
I don't know about people, but I "hear" they are quite effective at reducing urban deer populations to "my fucking shrubs are looking better now" levels. Rumored.Hi,
