FN F2000 assault rifles have appeared in the arsenal of the defenders of Ukraine.

Ukraine Weapons Tracker analysts reported about this.

Ukraine received 10,000 rifles from Belgium, including SCAR-L and FNC.

Probably, this batch also included Belgian F2000 assault rifles.

A photo of a soldier armed with this rifle was also released, and the photo was allegedly taken in Ukraine.

It is possible that the International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine was armed with Belgian rifles.

This Belgian assault rifle was developed by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal. The FN F2000 was first publicly revealed in 2001.

The weapon is designed to perform combat missions in modern local military conflicts.

The F2000 is a gas operated, selective fire weapon with bullpup design.

Due to its unique patented ejection system, spent cases are ejected to the front. The FN F2000 can be used by left-handed shooters without any adjustments or modifications.

Polymers are used as housing materials. The stream can be easily removed and replaced with various additional modules: laser target, flashlight, 40-mm grenade launcher, “non-lethal” M303 module, which fires tear gas or marker projectiles. In the future, it is possible to install other modules if requested by the customer.

As previously reported, Polish GROT assault rifles began to arrive for the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
