History of the MP 40 submachine gun, which became the symbol of the German Blitzkrieg
The MP 40 became the most recognizable weapon of the German soldier of World War II. The nickname “Schmeisser” has become a household name. This submachine gun often appears in Soviet films to create the image of the enemy machine gunner, firing from the hip, and going into the attack at full height. In today's article you will learn why the MP 40 was not the main weapon of the German soldier and why designer Hugo Schmeisser was not involved in the development of this weapon.
An extraordinary ambassadorial-level meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council convened at the request of the Ukrainian authorities was held in Brussels on Wednesday. The purpose of the event was described by the parties as the need to discuss the situation on the battlefield, the consequences of the largest strike by Russian troops against facilities on Ukrainian territory and Kiev's ‘priority capability needs’. The meeting came amid information that Ukraine this week again asked for US permission to use precision long-range weapons to strike targets deep inside Russia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called it ‘playing with fire’.
The US position regarding the strikes by US weapons supplied to the AFU on Russian territory remains unchanged, Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder has said. So he answered the question whether it is planned to reconsider the restrictions amid calls by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
