Judging by a video released two days ago, German-delivered MK 556 assault rifles seem to have entered service with the popular 3rd Assault Brigade. A bit of history about the German deliveries. Originally limited to 5,000 pieces, the MK 556 assault rifles supplied by Germany were initially exclusively handed... out to various Ukrainian SOF units. Later, they were also handed over to the 82nd Air Assault Brigade, 95th Air Assault Brigade and then 58th Motorised Brigade. After the delivery of the initially promised 5,000 units was completed in March 2025, 800 additional assault rifles were surprisingly delivered in April 2025. Only one month later, MK 556 assault rifles were also spotted to be used by the 425th Assault Regiment. Since the MK 556 assault rifles are now also being used by the 3rd Assault Brigade, it is likely (although of course not proven) that deliveries have continued since the German government has largely stopped publishing details about newly delivered or pledged assistance in April 2024.show more
