  • Venezuela's Rifles?

    When Venezela bought helicopters and 120,000 rifles from Brazil for their standing forces, the question surfaced of were the current rifles would go?
    - FARC ?
    - chavistas?

    The rifles are actually Russian and the AK-103/AK-104 models in 7.6mm M-43. The nation did favor the FNC in 5.56mm SS-109 but it seems Chavez wishes to put a finger in the wests eye or something.

    The helicopters are the Mi-17 and the FAV favored the UH-60 Blackhwak, once again a finger in the eye. And the MiG-29Ms are supposed to be a finger in the eye.

    He can have fun trying to fit all that into his military...

        Well

        I think for being so close and being somewhat lost Hugo Cavez should be seen as a thret to the United States.

          He is. You should study some work that the Southern Command is doing. Hill is not happy.
