Re: Soviet women ready to fight

They all have rifles, so I guess when they say no they mean no.

Soviet female snipers were amazing...brave, and damned good shots! Nope, I wouldn't mess with them...snipers or not!

Re: Soviet women ready to fight

The women's battalion.

They would undress their prisioners and tie them to a bed or something, whereupon they would excite the poor guys to sastfy their sexual urges. After all that, they either castrated their victims and then placed the organ in their own mouth or they crushed the victim's testicals with a hammer.

I'm not sure if this is a training photo or an action shot. Either way, the Soviets made use of women snipers.

Re: Soviet women ready to fight

Women just may have made better snipers than men, from what little I've read on the subject. Their build seemed more suited to the tight confines and "prowling" stealth required.
