    Apparently the war in Serbia and Bosnia led to a huge increase of black market weapons. There’s a lot of smaller criminals walking around with 90s Yugoslavian weapons. Actual military grade weapons are harder to get.

    But I’m sure the Ukrainian war will have its effect on arms trade in Europe. And especially targeted at far right groups, with Azov and all that.

      Have you seen the stats for the number of weapons that actually get to the front vs the number of weapons sold? Something like a third of all the military “aid” NATO gives to Ukraine just… got lost. Somewhere.

      I was reading this week about how weapons supplied to Ukraine have already ended up in the middle east if I’m not mistaken.

    • Well that’s good at least. Since this is heavy weaponry we’re talking about, I assumed it was gonna be military-grade. Since I thought it was going to be things like Chainguns, Machine Guns, Rocket Launchers.
