Retired/obsolete equipment

[edit]

1918–1940

[edit]

During the Latvian War of Independence, the armed formations of the Republic of Latvia (which were united into the Latvian Army in July 1919) used a wide range of surplus weapons acquired from Russian, German and other stocks. Substantial support was offered by British, French and other forces. The main infantry rifle after the war was the Pattern 1914 Enfield (P14).[84]

1991–present

[edit]

In the 1990s, the Latvian Army and National Guard troops were equipped with leftover Soviet, Romanian and Czechoslovak[85] weapons like the AKM, AK-74, SKS rifles and TT and Makarov pistols, alongside early procurements of CZ 82 pistols from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In the late 1990s, a gradual switch to the Swedish-made Automatkarbin 4 began, but AK-pattern rifles remained. Today Ak4 rifles are mostly kept in storage.[86] In 1995, the Czechs donated 20 120mm mortars (possibly the 120-PM-43 mortar) and 24 100 mm vz. 53 field guns.[85] According to Military Balance 2025, the 100 mm vz. 53 guns are still in storage in Latvia.[59] Around 2002, the armed forces also reportedly had M60 machine guns in stock.[87]
