Latvian Border Guard Service will get rid of Soviet small arms

71
For about a year and a half, the Latvian State Border Guard (GPO) will replace the Kalashnikov assault rifles and Makarov pistols with weaponmeeting NATO standards, Interfax report of the head of department Normund Garbars.





“We have a clear program, how it will happen, and most importantly, that this process has already begun,” - said Garbars to BNS.

He expressed the hope that "border guards at the parade in honor of the centenary of Latvia in 2018 will not march with Soviet-made weapons."

The agency reminds that earlier in Latvia a working group was created, which included officers of the State Defense Committee and the Ministry of Defense. Their task was to prepare concrete solutions aimed at re-equipping the border guards according to NATO standards.

It is noted that at the beginning of last year, the leadership of the civil defense group declared the presence in the service of a large number of Soviet weapons (AK and PM), and that only some soldiers come to guard the border with weapons of other models.

      The Baltic leadership, blinded by militant Russophobia, comes up with a threshing floor, just to do something dirty to Russia, and Trump was also poured mud, now they will have to sprat sprats so that they do not die of hunger, because Trump’s insults, as can be seen from his character Don't forget.

          The German Ministry of Defense announced its intention to partially replace the Heckler & Koch G36 assault rifles with HK417 automatic rifles, reports The Local. The reason for the replacement was the military's reports of overheating of the G36 barrel during continuous continuous firing, which led to a reduction in accuracy and sometimes to failure of the weapon. The German military department intends to spend 18 million euros for the purchase in 2015 of 600 new machine guns, as well as another 600 machine guns.

          All ordered weapons will be delivered to the German ground forces by mid-2016. First of all, HK417, manufactured by Heckler & Koch, will receive soldiers in hot spots. The German Ministry of Defense called the purchase of new machines an interim solution. In the near future, the military department intends to choose a new type of automatic small arms, which in the troops will completely replace the G36. Presumably, the choice can be made before the end of this year.

      I remembered NVP lessons. We had just such at school. Before each lesson, the military instructor selected two students and went with them to the armory (in fact, a closet with an iron door). A whole ritual! fellow
      Then the closet was locked and carried two Kalash in the classroom, to carry out disassembly for a while. Comrade Lieutenant Colonel walked ahead clearing the road from all first-graders there, and two students went back with these guns.
      They were young, mischievous! Aerobatics was to direct the machine guns at the back of the military commander (as if we had escorted him). He still had an eternal gait with his hands behind his back. Once the director of the school caught me bully .

    It is better for Latvians to abandon any weapons altogether, so there will be targets. And given the current realities, this may become relevant for Latvia in general.
