SA80 in Bolivia
Published: December 31st, 2012
German newspaper Tagesschau.de published this photo of a Bolivian special forces solider carrying a SA80 rifle. Bolivia is only one of two users of SA80 outside of Britain, the other being Jamaica.
The solider in the above photo looks a lot less frightening than the now-disbanded Bolivian police unit Unidad Táctica de Resolución de Crisis (UTARC) who also used the SA80.
[ Many thanks to Miroslav for the tip. ]
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Tagesschau is not a newspaper, but a television news program made on behalf of the german public-broadcast network ARD.
Army of Two or what ?
