Slavs basically copy pasted weapons from the west.
Basic swords, axes and spears.

No such thing as "Slav" before 15th century.
Also basic swords, axes and spears where used thousand years before "west" get down from the trees.

>>3328694
Probably some Osprey books on the subject, even if Osprey is hit or miss, probably more bibliography in russian

>>3328934
False

>Slavs basically copy pasted weapons from the west.
Maybe Poles, but Russians were much more influenced by the Eastern designs. For example, they had mounted cavalry units of their own.

>>3328985
which one?
>No such thing as "Slav" before 15th century.
Show me an original source from before 15th century stated the where the word "slav".
>Also basic swords, axes and spears where used thousand years before "west" get down from the trees.

>>3329009

>Show me an original source from before 15th century stated the where the word "slav".
Vikings called Slavs - Wends.
Romans called them Sclaveni and Veneti.

>>3329034
>original source
yes they did. but NEVER call them Slavs.

>>3329029
Swords, well proper swords were in Greece in 2300 BC and west Europe by 1800 BC, but They had long copper daggers by at least 3500-3300 bc

>>3329046
>The first weapons that can be described as "swords" date to around 3300 BC.
How the "west" looked 3300 BC?

RUSSIANS ARE MONGOLSSSSSS

>>3329062
GTFO to /pol/ idiot

>>3328694
They used the same weapons as their mongolian overlords.

>>3328694
Russians: mongol by blood, slavic by language, non-existent culture

>>3328993
>Mounted cavalry units

anyway dude they basically used same weapons as the rest of Europeans, perhaps they used axes a bit more due to Varangian heritage
after getting dicked by Mongols they adopted composite bows, curved swords and stuff like that, basically adapted to fighting them, and copied their tactics
something somewhat specific to Russia would be bardiche, used by infantry
armour was more Eastern in design though

>>3331963
but did they use longswords alongside the curved swords or did sabres completly replace straight swords? In some art I see rus soldiers use both.

What do you think of stuff like this.
Quick rundown:
>Human civilisation was very advanced
>global trade of goods
>global migration
>Historic monuments found along two lines
>Humans got nuked back into the stone age by a meteor

>>3331985
a load of shit

>>3331984
we are talking about medieval period, no change was comprehensive and quick
I have to say I'm not an expert on the subject you mentioned, but this is a rule

>>3332011
but the lines bro

>>3331963
Bardiche usage in Russia was done in the 17th century, not the middle ages. Supposedly they'd stick em in the ground and use them to rest their guns.

>>3332171
>expecting /his/ to know history
lmao

>>3329045
They didn't speak modern English faggot. It's the same thing in different languages.

>>3328694
