Dark website is enlisting various military-grade firearms coming from Western Countries for sale by several marketplaces. Those marketplaces are allegedly selling firearms to the Ukrainian army in the fight against Russia.
Now, these weapons are being available to several terrorist organizations instead of their former receiver. Weapons from rocket launchers to high-impact attacking systems are being purchased from the dark web marketplace.
Israeli cyber-intelligence specialist KELA has shared the results of their investigation. According to KELA the guns supposedly posted by several Ukrainians on darknet markets are not always real. One of the vendors posted, “Weapons Ukraine,” with lists of rifles, grenades, and bulletproof vests at a price range between $1,100 and $3,600 to be delivered in the territory of Ukraine. The vendor sold almost 32 of its weapons and showed no review on its site.
KELA has stated that these listings are also posted on several pro-Russian Telegram channels and Russian media outlets claiming that weapons are being smuggled through Moldova by ‘classified’ cargo trucks.
After looking into the matter several publications are claiming that it might be an effort to defame Ukrainians as unethical and untrustworthy. It is also been claimed that pro-Russian media is using this fake arms smuggling incident to their advantage.
