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.

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

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.

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.

Axes are used in europe since the neolithic

stone axes and spears. did they count? what about swords?

>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.

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

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

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

RUSSIANS ARE MONGOLSSSSSS

GTFO to /pol/ idiot

They used the same weapons as their mongolian overlords.

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

>Mounted cavalry units
wow, impressive

?

t. Ivan Genghisov

They had daggers

I think he meant horse archers.

Huh, maybe he means dismounted infantry or god-forbid ranged archers, these russians are something else!

>See thread in the catalog
>pretty intriguing, let's see what's going on
>It's just this shit
I blame /humanities/

thanks for nothing guys your posts told me absolute fuck all

are you retarded? different name was used, modern name in modern English is "Slavs"

Veeky Forums is just watered down /pol/ now

Ebin shield from XVI century

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

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

a load of shit

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

but the lines bro

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.

>expecting Veeky Forums to know history
lmao

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

>tfw medieval ruskies were wearing Persian aventails and fucking lamellars

These fuckers are considered as "European" wtf

vikings also wore lamellar

And they found Russia

yeah according to german ''historian''

I've heard vikings also founded China.
