Topic: What kind of weapons does your country use today? Posted: 01-Nov-2005 at 09:18 |
My country is small so we tend to purchase weapons which could be
usefull in partizan warfare. We have a profesional army a couple of
years consisting of 9 thousand soldiers. There is also a big reserve
in every province which we call "zemessardze" (land guards). Latvian
terrain is usefull for partizan warfare because 48% of land is covered
with forests.
Here is some pictures of weapons we use:
This year our goverment made major purchase of infantry weapons from
H&K company. G36 for now on is standart infantry rifle in latvian
army.
We still use old Swedish machine gun KSP-58, which is usefull in our climatic conditions:
As for usefull partizan weapons we have grenade launchers and anti-tank waepons like Carl Gustaf and AT4:
This is not military reconnaissance, but i would be pleased if you would share information about your country's army .

We don't have any tanks or militar air plaines. So it is imposible to invade in Russia . We also don't have any wish to do this.

Human-wave technique could be usefull some centuries ago but not today.
I will now tell about latvian air forces, which are as tiny as my
country.
RBS-70 is only usefull thing in latvian air forces in my opinion. It is short range(7km) antiaircraft weapon.
There is also some transport helicoters like MI-8, and transport planes L-410.
But don't make fun of this one. We
still have 2 or 3 AN-2 in our air force, although they can be used only
for transporting and other same kind of stuff. Of course we can mount
these planes with some machine guns and then engage with modern air
fighters. AN-2 can't run away(max speed 250 km/h) but only attack, so give some respect to this plane .

My dear Latvian brother I wasn't making fun of ur country or ur country's armed forces.U said ur country's armed forces consist of 9000 thousand soldiers.
9000 thousand soldiers=9,00,00,00 =9 million soldiers.
U should have written 9 thousand,nine thousand or 9000 soldiers.
Smile.

9000 soldiers are not bad, expecially since you're using modern equipment. The Philippines' army is not remarkable at all. We have some modern jets, some advanced equipment, but only a single fleet comprised of WWII-era ships.
