'Croatia rifle has managed to overshadow all other exhibitors'

"It has achieved the best results in the precision and stability of weapons'

- VHS-2 has achieved the best results in the precision and stability of weapons and offered the best solution podcijevnog grenade launchers.To the surprise of many VHS-2 is of unknown status come to the weapons of fear that other candidates.What is this great success is the fact that the Swiss SIG probably fell off the competition, nor rifle ARX 160 famous Italian manufacturer Beretta is not in a good position.If the VHS-2 and does not become the new French army rifle, the fact that we have entered the final choice of excellent reference for future jobs, because we are less than two years tremendous progress, as in the area of specific solutions such construction in the area of durability of materials - said Zeljko Pavlin.

The final choice will be made by the begining of 2016 if i'm not wrong. (In 2016,a first batch of 5.340 of the new assault rifle will be ordered..).

The candidates are ;

The HK-416 by H&K.
The Scar by FN Herstal.
The Vhs-2 by HS.
The ARX-160 by Beretta.
The SIG-550 by SA.

Which one could be chosen ? @Taygibay

This could be a perfect choice for the Police,since they are looking to acquire new and modern assaut rifles ! (finally !)

 

[yugocrosrb95]

I wish VHS-2 wins the competition, though HS is unknown in industry of assault rifles and all big names here...

H&K just got its third bailout in 35 years while HS none in its entire history.

HS sold 3 million pistols HS 2000 to US since 2000's and matching output of Glock in production.

 

[Taygibay]

Which one could be chosen ? @Taygibay

HK is already in service with SF, GIGN et al.
SCAR backed a lot by the Fr specialists that tried it.
ARX with a strong combo with a French firm for local manufacturing.

I already answered this in another thread but there are complex requirements for this tender.
These include local manufacturing and proof of long term commercial sustainability for the maker.
Because of which …

- if the decision is made in Balard, SCAR;
- if the decision is made in Bercy, ARX;
- outsider : Vhs-2 as a continuity to the Famas series.

But don't bet real money on your fave in any case!
It's one of those arcane procurements that can go either way,

Tay.

@Taygibay The police special forces will soon receive new gear and uniforms. (New was shown at Eurosatory.)

@yugocrosrb95 It seems that they will also receive new rifles,the VHS-2.

Oh, i forgot there is a major event going on.....why there is no thread about it.

@Vauban may i ask if this is the only defense forum that you are hanging in or there are some others ?

I wondered whether there is a quality European defense forum where discussions are only based defense related issues...and less political BS....but seems like there is none.

@Vauban

Look at the Leclerc.....seems like some one was jealous.

There are vey decent national ones but none that treats of Europe as a whole.
It makes sense too since a European Defence is still far away up in Lalaland.

And Vauban, mon gars, perso, I really wouldn't mind that VHS choice, really.
I sadly haven't tried it yet but its looks are so close to the Famas that I'm
guessing the feel might too which wouldn't be bad IMHoO.

and for reference :

and even better, this is what they presented at Turkey's IDEF in 2009 :

Food for thought?

Have a great day, Tay.

A small group of 'pacifists and peace and lovists' (As I call them...) attacked two of our ministry of defence's shown vehicles with red paint to apparently represent 'blood'.

Hahaha,have you seen the crew ? @mike2000 is back

For peace activists, "in the national and international situation, this show is indecent, provocative and inhumane." They are claiming that new weapons are developed an that the army is equipping itself against the people and preparing for urban warfare situations....
-
They want the defence budget to be drastically reduced and that the money goes to education,things like that..... they just forget that every €1 invested in our defence brings €1,30 to the government !
They forget that investing in defence and exporting equipments safeguards hundred of thousands of jobs and that nearly 40.000 jobs will be created in the defence industry.....
-
@Sinan This is the kind of people still thinking that the world is an utopia,where there are unicorns..... @flamer84
Hahaha,I propose to airdrop them in the middle of Fallujah with their rainbow flags and 'peace' speeches and see how long they'll survive....

Hımm, this is new to me....we don't have that kind of people over here.....very very weird for me to understand.....How you are supposed to protect yourself against an aggression if you have no arms ?
