Serbian & Greek Special Forces Using FN SCAR
Serbia’s Military Police Special Operation Battalion “Cobras” have adopted the FN SCAR L as their primary carbine and the FN SCAR-H PR as their sniper rifle. They are using these alongside HK UMP 9mm submachine guns, FN SLP shotguns and GLOCK pistols.
Meanwhile to the south the Special forces of Greece have also adopted the FN SCAR L, who appear to be using it alongside M4 Carbines.
UPDATE: I am told that the Greeks pictured may be Special Forces students using airsoft or blank firing rifles for training purposes.
Thanks to Albi and Anonymous 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!

The SCAR you in the hands of the Greek trooper, is an AIRSOFT rifle. He is not a member of Special forces.
Cobras special squad is main anti terrorist unit in Serbia, to join you must be part of special forces for at least 2 years (military police or recon-saboteurs or something ranked above them). Now they said after reorganisation that they are only there for protection of politicians but I don't buy it they wouldn't get new rifles if that was the case and they still have the same training. Kinda like delta force or seal team 6 in US.
I wonder what Greek special forces unit will get new rifles if at all and if that one is coming to paratrooper competition in Serbia, usually there are Greek and Cypriot units participating.
