Serbia buys new HK rifles

[Fritz Werner]

Serbia's Defence Minister Dragan Sutanovac has officially stated that "We are purchasing “Heckler and Koch” new special rifles and sako snipers for the Special Brigade":

Since he makes the distinction between "special rifles" and "snipers" I reckon it must be either G36 or HK416/HK417.

Seems to me a pretty bold move. After all, Zoran Djinjic was shot by an ex-special unit guy with a G3...

Also I guess "Glock" pistols (maybe the G17) and I am not sure what he means by "Jeeps", since I am sure he will not get the old Willis!

Interesting.

I imagine "defender jeeps" means Land Rover Defenders... Would see a fairly logical purchase. Would be interested to know what a 'special rifle' is though!
