IWI Galil ACE Spotted In South Sudan and Mexico
The IWI Galil ACE is fast becoming the AK of choice throughout the world. The Ares Research blog posted the above photo of a Model 21, one of the short barrel carbine variants, being used by the South Sudanese Air Force. South Sudan, the newest UN-recognized country, is in the midst of a civil war and is still under a number of international arms embargoes. Ares suggests that this rifle may have been supplied by Ugandan security forces.
Also recently brought to our attention is the below photo showing the Attorney General of Mexico’s Reaction Corps (Cuerpo de Reacción) armed with the Galil ACE. The ACE is just about everywhere! When is IWI US going to bring it stateside?
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!

IMI opened a factory with the Vietnam Defense Ministry，to build the ACE locally as the replacement for their AKs.
So the South Sudan AF is using the ACE, is that the primary weapon on their Sopwith Camels or are those Fokker's flying Messerschmitt's? And the Mexican AG's Reaction Corps, were they supplied under the table and off the radar by our AG, Eric Holder?
