As a landlocked country, Mongolia completed the privatization of its navy as early as the 1990s, and since then only has to bear the military expenses of the army and air force. However, due to limited military expenditures, Mongolia is not yet able to replace weapons for all troops. Currently, it can only be purchased in small quantities, with special forces being installed first, so the equipment of special forces is very different from that of ordinary soldiers.
The picture shows the scene of the 084 Special Forces conducting anti-terrorism training. The 084 is a 55-year-old veteran unit with many tasks and a high status. It can give priority to the use of advanced equipment. The
EVO 3 submachine gun, also known as the "scorpion", is a weapon made by the Czech Republic in 2009. In 2010, Mongolia formed an expeditionary force and went to Afghanistan to perform peacekeeping missions, opening up communication channels with European and American countries and obtaining opportunities to purchase weapons. The
CZ805 rifle is also a Czech product. It combines the advantages of the SCAR rifle of Belgium FN and the G36 rifle of Germany H&K, and has many advanced designs.
MSG 90 sniper rifle, from Germany. This weapon is very interesting, it is actually the G36 rifle, but in the factory test, the staff gathered a batch of accuracy beyond the average line, replaced it with a heavy barrel, and installed a scope mount, thus forming a special sniper model .
In addition, the advanced equipment used by the Mongolian special forces includes the German G36 rifle, the Israeli Galil rifle, the British AWM sniper rifle, and so on.
From the perspective of weapons alone, the progress of special forces is indeed very obvious. Mongolia's traditional AK rifles have regressed to the second line and become increasingly rare.
Of course, this is only the status quo of special forces, and ordinary troops are still dominated by AK-74 and AKS-74U. The performance of the
Western weapons is indeed good, but the ordinary price is too high. With Mongolia’s current military expenditure level, it cannot afford the cost of the full line of replacements, so the special forces have to be strengthened first, only whether it is domestic counter-terrorism , Or going abroad for peacekeeping, can bring better results.
