That photo of her holding a unloaded RPG actually has a story behind it. Her father was part of a raiding team which killed 13 militants in the NE. They captured it off them along with a lot of Kalashnikovs and grenades . They blocked the weapon and kept it as a decoration piece in their headquarters.
Thank you for the update, Salute to our armed forces!
