A Russian soldier showed a German machine gun MG 3, which was used by one of the Ukrainian units. The MG 3 machine gun was captured during the fighting in the Krasnolimansky direction. At the end of the fifties, the German MG 42 machine gun was modernized and put into service under the MG 3 index, the machine gun was converted to a 7.62 × 51 mm cartridge. To do this, the barrel and some other elements of the weapon had to be replaced, and numerous small improvements were also made. The MG 3 machine gun is now quite widely used by many countries.
