A photo of a soldier armed with this rifle was also published, and the photo was allegedly taken in Ukraine. The fact that Ukraine’s International Legion of Territorial Defense is armed with Belgian rifles is not exclusive. This Belgian assault rifle was developed by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal. The FN F2000 was first introduced in 2001. The gun was designed to perform combat missions in modern local military conflicts.
