SCAR: The modular combat assault rifle in Ukrainian hands
The Special Operations Forces combat assault rifle, otherwise known as SCAR, has been supplied to Ukraine by Belgium as part of a €90m military aid package.
It's the latest generation of modular assault rifles, designed and manufactured by the Belgian company FN Herstal.
As the war in Ukraine continues, the rifle is helping with the pushback of Russian forces.
