In this video, I’m taking you to the muddy battlefields outside Sumy, where Ukrainian troops from the 225th Separate Assault Regiment just found what might be the weirdest battlefield trophy of the entire war: the mythical Soviet NRS-2 “Scout Firing Knife.” That’s right, a knife. That shoots. Bullets.
This isn’t Call of Duty nonsense or Cold War cosplay. This is a real Soviet Spetsnaz weapon designed to silently eliminate a target up close… and then double as a survival knife, saw, wire cutter, and possibly a James Bond prop. It’s chambered in SP-4, the same round used by the PSS silent pistol, and it fires by flipping open a barrel hidden in the grip. Just point the blade at your own face, cock the hammer, and hope for the best. Soviet ergonomics, baby.
In this video, I’ll walk you through:
How this rare artifact ended up in a Russian soldier’s gear
The insane design of the NRS-2 (and why it absolutely would never pass a NATO safety review)
Why Spetsnaz even used it in the first place
What this says about Russian special operations and the Cold War’s obsession with “silent kills”
And why it’s now one of the most talked-about souvenirs in Ukraine’s ongoing fight for survival
This war is full of drones, AI targeting, and long-range precision munitions. But every once in a while, it drops something on your lap that feels like a punchline from 1983.
If you’re into battlefield oddities, weapon tech breakdowns, and the strange gear that somehow survives 40 years of doctrine changes, this one’s for you.
Because sometimes the past doesn’t just echo, it fires a 7.62mm silent round from inside a knife handle.
Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes. Crimea is Ukraine. Слава Україні!
