One of the more surprising pistols to appear in Ukraine is the French MAC Modele 1950. The MAC 1950 is a 9x19mm pistol which was adopted by the French armed forces in the early 1950s. They first appeared in Ukraine in early 2025.
This is one of the ‘research note’ videos I share on the TAB Patreon. It highlights early research into a weapon spotted in use in Ukraine ahead of a fully fleshed out video!
